Its definitely interesting reading the bios of those people but lets be realistic, those guys were geniuses basically, can we really be compared to them? I dont think so. So I would rather look at guys like the guy that created Flappy Bird. A simple ass addictive game that deliver millions of dollars in ad revenue. Thats how you get it done. Get something viral and all over the world.
It requires luck, a lot of it, no matter what you do tho.
You can always keep buying BTC and stacking up long term as a lack of a better idea.
But dude, this game was online since 2013 and people started playing it only because of the youtubers that found it probably by an accident. Do you know how to be successful nowadays? You have to go viral with your thing.. make a simple and addictive game ( Nothing hard, there a lot of games like this, just look form your window at a minute you will surely know something.. ) for iOS or ( grr... ) Android and record your mother playing it and tell her that when she fail at it, she have to throw a piece of cake on her face. The video will probably go viral and people will make a fun of it and play the game, so yeah.. you can try this way
BTW The guy that made Flappy Bird was fucking weird when he shut it down just because of the high revenue and likely-true stories about people being killed because of it, I think there were another problem.. maybe someone found him and wanted kill him because of the game or something like this... who knows? :/
@both of you:
Can we be compared with them? Yes. At least I don't intend to put myself as a "lower being' than they are, and you shouldn't either. The fact is, people are pretty stupid, even smart ones. There's not a huge difference between people, other than the very extreme outliers like those born with a huge mental disability etc.
If you measure their IQs, bill gates, steve jobs, etc, are not the smartest people in the world. Not even close. They might not even be 1 in a million (1 in a million would be 7,000+ in the world). No reason we can't do something great.
Also, flappy bird requires basic programming and graphic design skills. How many people in the world can make a flappy bird clone now, without learning anything new? Not that many.
You need skills no matter what; it's a matter of how much, based on how much luck you have, how much work you do, how good your idea is, etc.
No single factor can get you rich, except maybe luck. But even if you win the lottery, chances are you'll lose it all if you don't have basic financial skills.
