In order to make the insane wealth that CT lore is about as a retail trader (25m+), you probably have to be a builder in this day and age. Onchain? Quite hard given the liquidity/runners/environment Perps? Not many crazy 1s you can size into. ZEC events are rare. This isn't 2021 anymore. Venture? Even harder given the high fdv launches. Seed starts at 50m for many big ones and it's rare to hit an $ENA. Building something useful is obviously incredibly hard but founders of important projects/tools are giga rich. Look at all of the builders of photon, axiom, Moonshot, Rabby, etc- all useful products. Builders of traditional businesses, aka Trader Mayne and Cobie with Breakout + Echo. Look at builders of crypto projects themselves, aka defi 1.0 founders. Even founders of projects that have a token worth $0 can still get rich (but that's a story for another post).
