According to TechFlow, Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, tweeted that as a Bitcoin whale, he faces "systemic oppression and social contempt." He holds a large amount of Bitcoin, Ordinals, BRC20, and Runes, and endures ridicule and criticism every day. My wealth should make me happy, but it makes me hated.

He jokingly linked cryptocurrency wealth to body image, saying "Just like Lizzo embraces her body, we embrace our wealth." Hayes also joked that taking diet pills to deny one's true body image is like selling Bitcoin for legal currency, which is a betrayal of oneself.
