If you do the same things everyone else is doing you will get the same results.

You know how mocked and derided I was back in 2015 for putting all of my money into bitcoin? 

Everyone I knew was making fun of me both to my face and behind my back. 

The things I was doing at that time were just too outside the norm for most people to comprehend. 

I was weird to them.

Moral of the story? 

You wanna get ahead. Prepare to do some weird shit and be ostracized for it. 

Endure a decade of mockery and then have the last laugh.
