Trying to relax on the weekend… and then my brain goes: “Hey, remember that guy who turned $2 into $1.2 billion and retired forever?” 😮💨
Those screenshots are addictive. But here’s what they leave out: for every one of those, there are tens of thousands of people who made the exact same bet and lost everything. You never see their screenshots — because there’s nothing to flex.
That’s survivorship bias. We celebrate the one winner and quietly forget the graveyard behind him.
The hard truth: chasing the moonshot is how most people become someone else’s exit liquidity. Boring wins — sizing right, staying consistent, not blowing up — is what actually builds wealth over time.
Enjoy your weekend. Let that guy enjoy his billion. Just don’t bet the house trying to be him.
💬 Be honest — have you ever chased a moonshot like this? How’d it go?
