It's not about luck.

I run one of the early Bitcoin exchanges in 2013.

We had users from 200 countries, mostly common folks with small amounts.

Everyone had a change to make 1000x. Bitcoin has been mostly widely available asset in the world.



When I said luck, I meant people who were among the first to either mine or buy (at an affordable price) whole Bitcoins and held them until this day.

It's fine that common folk can buy fractions of BTC, but these amounts won't change their lives. And anyone who can afford to buy >= 1 BTC today, is already wealthy (or stupid).
