if you still keep your XRB from last year (claiming captcha through faucet)
You must be a very lucky person and become a rich man
from the price of 200 satoshi each XRB, now to 25k satoshi each XRB Shocked

Luck has nothing to do with it. The largest gains can be made by buying projects when they're cheap and holding long term (however long that takes) until it rises to the price you think that it should.

Yeah I have to agree, it has nothing to do with luck, as cliche as this sounds but it all depends on you. In order for one to be successful and to eventually get rich, you need to do something about it and that's researching about the project first before investing, you need to understand the project and actually believe in the project for you to go far, like before a lot of people on here were just taking part of this project because they can get it for free but not because they actually believe on the project, most of the people that were complaining about the faucet before aren't even here anymore, after the distribution ended they all disappeared and that says a lot about the community back then, most of the people who are just here for the free money ended up selling all of their coins back then because they didn't see the potential of this project, all they can see is the money that they can get at that current moment so fast forward to today if you've notice there's a huge improvement on the community, this thread is now filled with members who actually contributes to the project and not just here to spread FUD or to spread hate on the devs, there's also no more newbies talking bad about the project, so if you've think about it those people who are here because of the potential of the project are the ones benefiting from the current price growth. So moral of the story if you think that a project really has a potential and it can go along way then invest on it during its early stages and as what @SparkyU says, hold and hold until you think it's value is proportionate to its market price.

Sometimes it's pure luck to be in the right place at the right moment (e.g. be an early crypto adopter). Some ppl heard about BTC and started mining it using CPU and so on

What is really challenging - see the potential and do not sell undervalued thing too early! XRB is a true gem!
