I think it is safe to say the dream of getting rich with bitcoin is the dream that almost all of us have. but the difference is in what we are willing to do for it.
I see two groups of people with this dream:
1) the bigger group are those who want to get rich but do nothing about it except accumulating some small amount of bitcoin (maybe 1BTC at most) and then start wishing bitcoin to reach $100,000,000 so they can get rich.
2) the rest, who don't believe in magic

and believe in a more realistic price so they try to earn bitcoin by working hard for it, and investing in it buy buying bitcoin when it is cheap before it is launched to the moon, or making investments like trading, etc.
I try to be a part of the second group, how about you?

Must admit, you're right to the point. There is a third kind of people, however.
3) Those who work too hard, waste days on faucets, solve for captchas to get dust and invest in an HYIP or Ponzi scam and later complain about unfair life. The online world is similar to old days where the peasants did all the hard work to get nothing but bare minimum for a living while the rich used to exploit all of them doing almost nothing Tongue

In respect to end result nothing has changed substantially since those times

But there is still a difference of kind (as opposed to difference of degree). Earlier, peasants didn't have any options at all, i.e. they basically couldn't change anything however hard they might have tried (if they tried at all, of course). I mean en masse, and not some exceptions who really managed to rise from zero to hero. Today, most people have all the tools to get from rags to riches, but they are quite content with what they already have, even if they claim otherwise. As the wisdom goes, when there's a will there's a way
