Everyone's Getting Hilariously Rich and You're Not
A housekeeper who invested $12k in cryptocurrencies in the past few weeks is quoted as saying:<p><i>“And maybe I’m going to lose it,” she said. “Maybe I’m going to keep cleaning houses. But something is telling me I can trust this generation. My instinct is telling me this is the future.”</i><p>This time is different?<p>Personally I don&#x27;t feel any regret in ignoring the whole thing, even though I&#x27;ve known about Bitcoin since pretty much day one (thanks to HN of course). I look at the people who are crypto enthusiasts and it&#x27;s obvious that I would have to be a completely different kind of person to be in the game.<p>In that sense it&#x27;s no different from Wall Street traders, YouTube personalities, real estate agents or multi-level marketers -- I don&#x27;t envy their financial successes either because I wouldn&#x27;t want their lives (and even if I wanted it, I would most likely fail hard at the job because of personality mismatch).
