Both GATES and BEZOS live in "community property" states, meaning after the marriage, but for a pre nuptial, most property accumulated after the marriage, despite the actual "earner", are owned 50/50 by the couple. So Gates give "big nose" some stock, of which basically she already had a 50 % ownership in. To move assets in contemplation of hiding them allows for the creditor/judgement holder to trace those assets back before the nefarious action. Oh no this is a clue to buy bit coin, they are getting out of the stock market.... really? Bit Coin is "priced" by demand, it produces nothing, it has no intrinsic value. It is in fact a PONZI, it depends on demand to support its price. It is how Bernie Madoff did his scheme for so long, and yes, his early investors actually made a "profit", paid by the later investors. Now, tell me, if the market goes to shit, who is going to then run to buy bit coin in which to support its high price? Ok, who created Bit Coin? Who backs it? Don't know, neither do the others. Gold & Silver at least have some intrinsic value and it can be used in production. Tell me, you own a bar of gold? If things really get really messy, you cant eat it, drink it, or smoke it. The hyper inflation in Germany after WWI was met with investing in commodities, liquor, smokes, food... land.... if it reverts to the barter system in a collapse, get something you can barter with.

Bitcoin which you referenced is not Madoff. You're taking your fiat money and buying finite coins. It's like having a limited run of minted coins that cannot be counterfeited or duplicated. They took equipment and resources to mine which means there is labor behind obtaining them. Currency is just a medium to exchange that labor. The problem is government devalues that labor by printing too damn much of it and giving it to people that never invested their time or labor in obtaining it.
"it depends on demand to support its price."
That's not a ponzi scheme but that describes everything you listed. If no one wants liquor, land, or your rotted food then there is no demand. Madoff paid off investors with other investors money. He had to keep bringing in more investors or he would run out of money. That's a ponzi scheme.
