I say that both of you (jbreher and BTCMILLIONAIRE) are on the wrong side on this subject. Many times it is just random events, and not the effort.
Which is, of course, why the lazy and the stupid are universally wallowing in riches, and the soup kitchens cater to those that identify opportunities and work ceaselessly to attain the next rung up.
Right.

It's true. Much of striking it rich is entirely luck. I know a couple people who know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about trading, markets, bitcoin, anything, that bought the worst alt-shitcoins ever and made anywhere from hundreds of thousands of dollars to a million just because someone pumped them while they owned them. The shitcoin Expanse was one of them in particular. I think it went up like +50x in one day. I've never seen any pump and dump like that before.
