"Why do the techies typically not get rich in crypto Over the last XX years I have seen a lot of OGs get rich with Bitcoin. I wasn't one of them. I focused mainly on the problems: It's not scalable it's not private and there will be a lot of regulatory problems. Meanwhile the less technical OGs focused on the potential. They understood network effects they understood that it's a 10x technology and they developed a religious fervor that I simply wasn't able to develop. While I was looking for perfection they understood the concept of "good enough". When I sold my XXX BTC at a 6x gain (up from 5"
