In the process of trying to be a future whales you could lost everything,trust me this got me no where and I realized that I've lost tons of money because I was never contented, be smart and always take advantage of any project that brings you profit, do not stare at your wallet and say 'im gonna be rich in 3 years later' this is 1% out of 100% chance that it's ever going to happen, remember, been rich isn't the most important part of our lives but living a good life is.
You are absolutely right, if you chase wealth and do not know how to make real profit in the process, you may not reach your goal. I have an acquaintance who dreamed of becoming a millionaire and saved up a lot of cryptocurrency for this, while he did not make a profit, but saved and saved everything until after 2017 the crypto market went down. As a result, instead of the profit received, it was left with a large amount of unclaimed cryptocurrency. This is a lesson that you don't need to chase after wealth, but you need to be able to take profit now. I, in turn, knowing this rule, tried to take profit immediately and could improve my life by buying myself the necessary things. Live now, profit now.
