I think it's better to be a smart person than strategic because it's really good to be smart and it's natural not gaining over time.
For me being a strategic person is more better than being a smart person, why? Because there are many people who became rich eventhough they are not smart and eventhough they are no diploma, so i believe that we can became rich even we are not smart person and i believe that being strategic person can help us to reach our goals in life and being strategic person can help us to be rich.
Good point, is not because we have formal education and we are smart from that end means that we can be rich after, most of the time those who knows how to plan or create good strategy in life became successful, I can say that good example from this point are those people who able to invest with ico's which become huge last year, as they just plan to hold those coins and wait for the right time to sell, many people became wealthy with crypto's but not everyone are really smart, I think there's a portion of us that came from nothing or just a simple employee who able to learn crypto.
