I bought my first Bitcoin's from Charlie and BitInstant!

True, but the point is you don't need to start with millions to make billions. You could've started with $5K to make millions, then use those millions to get billions.

But that's also true for everyone on that list. If they wanted a billion in cash, it wouldn't be a trivial task either. On the other hand, why would you need that much cash to begin with? Even if you wanted
