I don't think bitcoin the instant way to get rich , nothing instant everything by hard working , so with bitcoin whether you will get from bounty campaign or by trading.
probably he was talking about 5 or 6 years ago when the price of bitcoin is just too low if you buuy atleast 1000 BTC in that year and now probably you already become rich and you do nothing but just only holding it until now but if today maybe its hard to say that you will become instant rich because the rpice already too high and more higher maybe if your lucky enough then in some altcoins you can be but if for BTC then no guarantee.
