For sure there are some guys who might be more motivated than others to build up their finances, so when they are motivated, then they may well end up doing way better than their peers and perhaps even catching up to (and passing up) some of their peers that had way more advantages. ~snip
It's your motivation that drives you further in life, if you are motivated to study you will work hard and excel in studies and if you are motivated to improve your finances then you will look for opportunities and try to grasp them as quickly as possible.
Motivation helps, yet it still seems that the motivation on its own is not going to be very helpful if the motivation is targeted in faulty kinds of ways... accordingly, the shitcoiner may well have similar motives as the long term bitcoiner, and frequently the shitcoiner believes that he is going to be able to do better than the bitcoiner, since the bitcoin is too old.. already costs a lot and involves a bunch of boomers, and so the shitcoiner may well be very motivated to study 100s of shitcoins and even to put together multiple charts ranking the shitcoins based on various criteria... and so often, the shitcoiner does not realize that he is being played and sucked into a gambling kind of a mindset, that might have some short term benefits, and he might even get rewarded by having some gainz, yet he might not realize until after 6 years or more that so much of what he had been doing was not very good use of time, energies and value, and he would have had done way better to have had gone exclusively bitcoin or at least something like 90% or more bitcoin rather than fucking around and trying to figure out 100s and perhaps thousands of shitcoins.
It is possible that he could have learned some valuable skills along the way, yet at the same time, it is also possible that he could have had learned as much (or even more) valuable information by focusing 90% or more on bitcoin.
So the shitcoiner/gambler/trader is still likely to be motivated - even though in a kind of unhinged kind of motivation that ends up having a lot of costs and various lackings in the right kinds of focus.
Likewise, if someone is motivated to excel in Bitcoin then he will look for ways on how to accumulate bitcoins in best manner. Just throwing money in Bitcoin won't help unless you follow some strategy.
The two comparisons you have made between a person who is staking vs the one who is not stacking. It's better to have any number of Bitcoins then having no Bitcoins at all. Those who are stacking for last 15 years are in better position at the moment compared to those who just started. Likewise anyone who is starting today will be in much better position after 15 years from today then a person who is about to start Bitcoin accumulation in 2040. This is a very straight forward comparison, the sooner you get into Bitcoin better it gets that for you. Even if you have zero Bitcoin then start investing today so you will be in better position after few years and that's 1000 times better then having no Bitcoin.
I agree that even though the future of bitcoin is not guaranteed, there continues to be an element involving getting started as soon as possible and then figure out some kind of a way of continuing to progress in regards to investing time, energy and money into bitcoin.. and at the same time figuring out how to tailor the learning about bitcoin with learning about our own cashflow management that allows us to figure out how to size our entrance and involvement into bitcoin within the scope of our
