However, I still think this is not something that is debate-able for those in my country, especially in this trying times where we are seeing a hike in inflation and economy crisis. I’m sure majority will go for the 5 btc without hesitation the economy has guard up our survival instincts to a whole different level. The system has made us to believe that you have to go through the educational process to get a good life and be responsible. Good thing we have a lot of prominent people who do not have a degree to determine their wealth, we now have a lot of young people who are ready to give up going to university or college, if they have a paying idea or skill or what ever that makes them income.
This issue of inflation and economic crisis is not only applicable to your country but almost all over the world. To begin with, I don't know why people like to compare things that are not related in anyway. This type of question is a thought provoking one and as good as asking someone to choose between knowledge and wealth. Yes, of course majority will go for the 5 BTC because the potential of BTC is much more than that of 5 CGPA. CGPA can actually lead you to some juicy opportunities like scholarship and job offers which in the long run could lead to financial freedom. However, I did some rough calculations now and I discovered that even when you are working in the highest paying company in the country with your 5 CGPA, your total income for the whole of your service year which is 35 years, is not up to the price of 5 BTC with the current price of $51,000. Is there any other reason more convincing than this to make you choose CGPA over BTC? I doubt it.
Having highest academic grade doesn't guarantee success but having a lots of money is success itself in this scenario. With your lowest grade, first class graduate will definitely work under you if you have the means to pay them. Moreover, academic achievement and financial freedom are not mutually exclusive.
