Which is why upskilling, no matter the field you're in, is important.
You're only as good as your best work (obviously) and with the current trend of things being that you need to work hard, even harder than before and even more than your boomer grandpa, to even be compensated fairly, the constant need to be better is prevalent now more than ever. Even more evident in the crypto scene, where creators, investors, and even traders who are defined as good at what they do are the only ones who reliably earn money, while the rest of us end up as exit liquidity in some cases. Not saying we should perpetuate this kind of set up cause that's bullshit, but also not saying we should just blame them for everything and relinquish all forms of accountability in replacement of spite.
Let's be more skillful, more smart, more hungry to learn and earn. I think that's all there really is to earning and being wealthy, those with the drive to do it, bag it, those who don't, end up as freeloading sons of mfers.
