He is saying that ideally self-regulation is best, but here and now we need regulation because we messed up self regulation.

That’s actually not true. This article doesn’t show it, but they are doing a ton of good for the whole island. There are projects for the good of the whole island focused on power (solar + Blockchain), agriculture, healthcare, real estate, and education. You don’t need to take my word for it - you’ll see in the coming months. The people of PR and the gov’t of PR love that these people are there, and the whole island will benefit,

Actually, opposite all other answers here, YES.
If you were withdrawing $100M in BTC you wouldn’t do it using an exchange, you would use an OTC dealer, and yes you could absolutely do it in far less than 6 months.
Here’s a good intro blog post, you can find more by searching for “bitcoin otc” or various phrases containing “whales” (term for someone with lots of digital currency). https://vinnylingham.com/the-1-dont-use-bitcoin-exchanges-ff...
Also, noting: this article’s title is misleading or false. There are other and previous bitcoin billionaires who are not as public about it, though the actual article qualifies the claim a bit. Finalky: seeing all of the replies that state emphatically “no” and explain why makes me doubt all answers on hacker news that I trust.
