I think we need the right information, the right knowledge, effort, positive energy, passion, luck, etc. Like in the OP's topic, "it ain't meant to be easy," but at least someone needs those above-listed qualities to surf through. Definitely, it will not be easy, but some times and in some cases, you can diversify a little and try something different, but instead, some people will just keep putting effort into something that can just be fruitless at the end of the day.
Truly, the degree and weigh of luck can not be underestimate but little did we know. Being hardworking doesn't guarantee success. You can be putting effort and energy but if luck has not yet find you, you'll labour without having result. However, I'm not saying that you shouldn't be hard working or struggle but when you are doing so, you should also pray for luck and grace to locate you.
Yeah, although while listening to one podcast, there was this new statement I heard that said, "Any time you get lucky or favored at something, there is always someone who has already sacrificed their time, effort, and energy on that thing. Someone has already made it work before you."
Which is to say that some people get lucky for something that others have sacrificed their hard work on. It's just like after engineers have worked so hard to tile a road, we peacefully and comfortably enjoy driving our cars on that road.
But whatever it is, luck is just luck, and some people become lucky for work for which the hard parts have already been overcome.
Bitcoin is a good investment, but it will be meaningless if we do not have the funds to buy Bitcoin.
To invest in bitcoin, the individual must have the goal to do so and also work towards archiving it by putting in all the resources and quality that are required to make them earn some money that will enable them to invest in bitcoin. Whoever is determined that they want to invest in bitcoin will not archive it by doing nothing.
