if you don't get rich from your stack, then bitcoin would not have succeeded and therefore did not society better.

without a massive increase in purchasing power, bitcoin's effect on the world and society will be even more diminished than it already is (via the shift away from self custody to paper IOUs)

Its not about getting rich. Its about being able to actually save for retirement without having to trust the wall st. casino with all your money.

agree to disagree.

number go up is the best indicator bitcoin is working. at least at this early stage of its life the massive gains are necessary to make any impact at all on the fiat system

$120k and this guy's like "the gainz aren't massive enough!!!1" lol

nope, that isn't what happened. you invented that sentence and quoted yourself.

2.2 trillion is not even a drop in the ocean. if we don't at a minimum surpass gold (another 10x), it won't be impactful. not saying 2.2 trillion isn't great (that is your projection), I was referring to the previous guys comment that he isn't in it to get rich.

my point is, if you're in at this point at any meaningful scale, you will get rich if bitcoin succeeds.

If it takes 50 more years to overtake gold, will you consider Bitcoin a success?

I don't have an answer to your question. If gold market cap dropped to 5 trillion in 50 years or gold market cap grew to 100 trillion in 50 years, the answer would be very different ;)
