That’s a very big part of it.

When fucknugget wanted to start a company he had plenty of credit either on his own, with his name, or both. If he blew 50k in an attempt he could try again next week.

If I blew 50k I’d be homeless.

It’s way easier to high stakes gamble when you won’t notice you lost.

They are lucky because the average person won’t even bother checking out on wikipedia how they become so rich

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
