Where do you live? Surrounded by people whose only issue is where to invest?
The people not being able to save 100 satoshis are the biggest group in this world.
This is so funny
Your question was indeed needed
The OP’s argument is kinda flawed unless he is referring to “being involved in fraudulent activities with bitcoin”.
Being in the wrong environment with the wrong sets of people is generally not advisable because economically the individual will not grow.
Skill development in the area of one’s passion and interest is the ultimate hack for getting off the streets and being economically free.
Although I agree with your idea in general, I think it was not the intention of the OP to focus on that aspect in this topic. On the contrary, I think it refers to the fact that most, instead of creating something for themselves based on their skills and passion, they simply see what has worked for others and copy them, potentially generating competition that ruins the original project, at the cost of getting a few benefits for those who copy.
In my years of experience in this world, I have seen on many occasions how someone has a good idea, starts it, succeeds, and some individuals seeing the profit potential simply make a clone and divide the community, profiting in a few months from the market share they steal from the original project, and shortly afterwards both broke.
There are times when competition is positive, such as when a product is not good enough and there is someone who can do it better, or when the market grows and there is not enough supply for so much demand. But the examples I'm referring to were clones without any merit in a market that was nascent or small enough not to withstand such competition.
