some people have said it already, but I'm throwing my hat into the 'Boogie never had any crypto' camp. I think he spun the rich off crypto story to hop on a trend, seem like a big man, get that dopamine hit, and now he's saying he's broke on crypto to farm money and pity. There is no evidence for any of it. I can totally believe he is broke but I read the boom-and-bust off crypto part of the story as total fiction. I think the most likely explanation is that he blew through the vast majority of his youtube money on his trademark hedonistic short-term pleasures such as food, prostitutes (sorry, teenage girls who were totally into him he met at the card shop) etc
