Stay frugal. Only spend what you need to live. That heady feeling of all that wealth is nothing in comparison to the feeling of not having to worry about where your bills will be paid from.
Don't loan any of it to anyone. Not to friends, not to family not to strangers. Unless they have collateral worth 2-3 times what you are loaning. And then prepare for them to not be your friend anymore.
Do not go into business with anyone. Period. Your friend who has a great biz idea but needs the capital? Do not call him up and tell him you want in and will fund the business. Just don't.
Don't wig out thinking you have to do something. Just fucking sit on the money and split it up into several iron clad places that are unassailable. Like index funds, overseas currency such as Swiss francs etc. Of course leave a goodly portion in BTC if it isn't already. Be prepared to see it drop by half to 3/4 and do not panic.
Treat yourself but don't go hog wild.
A nice Benz is great. Don't buy a fucking Lambo or Ferrari unless that is already a hobby of yours.
Tell NO-ONE how much you have. Tell your spouse maybe 85%. Your parents 50%. CLOSE friends if needed maybe 35%. Everyone else none of their business.
PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES. Do not think "Hey I'll just keep it hidden." Perhaps for a part of coin if it is in crypto and has never touched the fiat system (such as you mined it or got it elsewhere) but you should sit down with a very good tax attorney and figure out exactly how to pay the Man what he is owed so you can sleep easily.
In the coming years they will become ferocious in trying to hammer people on these unpaid gains.
t: Muh dumbass self who came into 350 BTC in 2017 and did not follow a single thing on this list.
If I had just sat on the couch drinking beer instead of "trying to grow my funds" I would be a wealthy man.
Before that 15 years ago also made a huge fortune (and lost) and owned a Ferrari F430. Yea. What a dumbass I was.
