For example — I have seen in my short life:

First, the ideal is to become ‘self employed’.

Then, the new ideal was

Become a millionaire and retire early, travel the world, etc.

Then —

Create a billion-dollar company, sell it (IPO), then fuck off and do whatever you want (travel, pursue art, etc).

Now —

Speculate in cryptocurrency, and make a bunch of money, then retire, buy a Lamborghini, etc.

For example, do you really *believe* in Bitcoin, or do you just want to get uber-rich?

The reason I like Bitcoin:

1. Easier to send ‘money’.
2. There is a limited amount of Bitcoin in existence (because there is a hard cap on it, you cannot just ‘print money’ like fiat currency, like the USD). This means that in some ways, Bitcoin is safe against inflation.
