I'm gonna disagree with your last sentence though, most crypto-bros (who actually make money) are just really smart, patient etc and successful outside of bitcoin with the people who forget or literally just lucked into it with left over drug money being a rarity.
If you were lucky enough to hear about it years ago you first had to accurately assess whether any of the BS people were saying would come true, then you had to have a fairly serious amount of money to invest, then you had to have the bollocks and conviction to buy some, then you had to see the bigger picture through the previous bull runs instead of cashing out, then you had to hold your nerve through the crashes and everyone saying it was a scam etc.
Like I've done better than anyone I know irl from it and was an extreme academic outlier, 1% wealth for age range before bitcoin and very patient/ambitious. One of my friends who also did well is similar, bought in HS and graduated valedictorian/has an excellent job now.
>>60525816That wasn't a mistake though and was very easy to do. The mistake was watching it go from $10 to $1,000 and still not doing anything.
