No wonder we are where we are.
It would be nice to see people finally get a grip and start blocking such blatant idiots.
A huge number of these people did not get rich or big because they were exceptional builders, serious thinkers, or uniquely intelligent.
They got rich and big because they were earlier, louder, more shameless, and more willing to sell trash to other people.
They shilled shitcoins. They got early allocations. They were close to insiders. They pushed narratives they did not believe in themselves. They farmed trust, attention, and credibility only to cash out on the very people who listened to them.
That is what a lot of this was.
Many of them have very little real substance behind the image.
No deep understanding. No real intellectual weight. No remarkable competence.
Strip away the followers, the timing, the insider access, and the endless self promotion, and what remains is often just a very average person who got lucky in a dirty environment and then mistook that luck for genius.
The image attached is just 1 example of a much larger class of opportunists.
They built status in a market where confidence is faked easily, where visibility gets mistaken for intelligence, and where being early plus being morally empty can still make you rich.
They did not rise because they were better than everyone else.
A lot of them rose because they were more cynical, more dishonest, and more comfortable exploiting the greed, trust, and stupidity of others.
The only thing they actually got right was being unemployed before you were and creating an X account earlier than you did to post about crypto
