I'm not sure what you mean by "normally getting rich through working and studying." Hodling is simply a smart concept strategy for getting rich; it is not a guaranteed path to riches. To benefit from it, you must have gone through some processes that could be curated, such as reading and studying, in order to earn a lot of money from the hodling. Hodling is not a get-rich-quick scheme, so you must first understand the fundamental concepts on which each of the method of getting rich that you mentioned do operate on, before concluding that one is superior to the other.
