>Bitcoin has no such restriction and in that way really was/is a one of a kind opportunity.

I disagree. No more than getting in as an early employee at Microsoft or Facebook or Google, or in on their IPOs, or even in early after the IPOs.

Apple returned 100x between 2002 and 2012. Tesla is up 300% the past 12 months. I've seen penny stocks go up 1000% in a day.

It's not like Bitcoin is perpetually turning out millionaires; the money has been made by the early adopters. It's not really any different than any other speculative venture.
