RE: Were Early Bitcoin Millionaires Just Lucky?
yeah, I'm calling bullshit on that. Living in a rich country and throwing $100 at something, holding it and becoming a millionaire is not grit. The people getting in now have to have grit or stupidity or luck or all of the above. $100 isn't going to turn into a million probably ever again. That guy who makes a couple thousand USD a year in a third world country and puts $100 in now is a nut or a million times more tenacious than those fucks.
I’ve made ridiculous gains in crypto, and, at least in my case, it had little to do with grit or market savvy. I really didn’t ever expect BTC to be worth more than a couple hundred $, and I just forgot about It for a few years, until the prices went bonkers recently.
Why do you assume that all block-chain early adopters are western? People like Ismail Ahmed founder of the World Remit startup have been around since 2010 and his story is particularly amazing as it started with him taking a personal stand against corruption.
It is a pity that you use profanity to describe people, who regardless of where they live, recognised the potential of a new technology, had the courage to invest and are now profiting from their investment.
