To be honest all of that sounds terrible. Getting a job that compensates me with actual money and using that to buy lottery tickets seems more fruitful.
I almost fully agree. The tricky part is getting access to the lottery tickets you want though.
For most people, the only way to buy equity (lottery tickets) in a private company is to work at one and negotiate for equity compensation.
Tokens are somewhat different I suppose if they are actually listed and tradable right away. That solves the access problem.
But besides access there are also often price discounts granted to employees for both tokens and equity forms of lottery tickets.
So I guess I would say it's not always the right thing to optimize for, but in general working at a company you really believe in can get you access to some very rare lottery tickets.
