Remember the kind of people who got really into NFTs and lost everything? That's exactly the kind of people who got really into bitcoin 15 years ago, they just happened to get extremely lucky this one time. There's a reason why most bitcoin millionaires are such incompetent douchebags.

Realistically there wasn't that much to lose if you mined instead of invested. NFTs is a different story.

The cope. Nobody could have predicted this! Except all the people who predicted it. But that was just luck!

You are comparing lemmy with threads. The average bitcoin millionare probably knows the difference.

How many Bitcoin millionaires do you know? Do you think there's a selection bias there and only the douchbags make a big song and dance about it.
