RE: Parkinson's Law - Amount of Return is More Important than Rate of Return
I can't remember the exact statistic, but I think it's something in the order of 96% of billionaires became rich by starting (or buying) a business and working hard.
Sure, we all hear stories of people becoming dotcom billionaires, trading billionaires etc but those are a tiny fraction of a percent of rich people.
I'm not saying don't trade or invest in crypto, just have realistic expectations.
That's probably pretty accurate. Very, very few people will approach billionaire status (at least in 2018 dollars/euros).
Millionaire is easily in reach for people making average incomes over a decade or two though - if they get serious about it.
