Yes... but there is a bit of a fallacy in that kind of thinking.

I believe that it is safer to believe that it takes a long fucking time to build up wealth, especially if you are starting from zero, close to zero or in the negative, and so in that regard, if you are starting out with a decent amount of wealth, then you both have more options and there are a large number of ways that you can structure your capital to work for you in order to keep you rich.

But, even rich folks fail/refuse to understand how to manage their money properly and end up neither preserving nor building their wealth from whatever lofty position that they may have started.

Of course, building marketable skills can also be a good way to preserve and to build wealth, too.

Anyhow, even if it can take a long-ass time for poor people to build wealth, that does not signify that they should either end up engaging in rushed behavior or even gambling, with a sense of desperation.  From my thinking it remains a better practice to just continue to work with what you got, and maybe you need to be more aggressive with your investment or more frugal with your spending while you are building wealth, but if you continue to strive towards building wealth including making sure that you have a decent income source, to the extent that is feasible, then bitcoin is still likely to put you way the fuck better off (comparing yourself to yourself) than if it had not existed. 

So in essence, I am suggesting that guys (and gal) need to structure strategies and plans that compete against themselves in terms of options rather than pondering over the financial situations of other people (except maybe to attempt to learn from that).  So seems to be likely that any guy (or gal) with bitcoin accumulation (whatever amount that they can reasonably and prudently muster up within their own financial circumstances) is going to have chances of prospering better than the same guy(or gal) without a bitcoin accumulation plan strategy that is incorporated into their life.
