Eh, $40k over 30 years is only like $300k at the typical inflation-adjusted annual return on safe investments. It's also only \~2 years of 401k contributions, or \~6 years of IRA contributions if you don't have a 401k. It ain't chump change, but it's unlikely to be the difference between retiring and not. Gotta get those regular tax-deferred contributions going, it's just free money. Also, you wanna talk loss? I lost \~40 BTC to MtGox, and have \~4 BTC in a wallet whose password I forgot 10 years ago. Had a 3x7970 mining rig back in the day that ran until ASICs took over. I did get the last laugh with the wallet, though. The ex-wife went nuts in the divorce and started demanding this and that. Demanded half the bitcoin in the wallet she knew we couldn't open (or equivalent cash value, of course). So I emailed her attorney the wallet. Much hilarity ensued. "I opened the 'wallet' in Microsoft Word but it was corrupt. Please send a corrected file." This went on for a good part of the day. My bitch of an ex-wife made an irrational, greed-fueled demand because she thought she found a clever way around the bitcoin being inaccessible, and ended up getting billed for like a full day's labor from a $350/hour attorney. It was glorious.

He will not close it, he will rig it harder then ever. Putin is also the reiches man in the RF, but his offical salery isn't even that high.
