 You have to be willing to fail first before you do anything. 

Before I bought bitcoin I risked losing everything I invested, failing publicly and having everyone mock me as the internet money nerd. I accepted that outcome. 

I said if it comes then I am ready for it. 

You have to risk scorn and humiliation to do anything meaningful. 

That’s why so few do anything meaningful. 

They have the potential, but they’re scared.
