Just look at the backgrounds of these industry giants and you'll understand—
KFC founder Sanders didn't achieve his first success with chicken nuggets until he was 65. The father of McDonald's, Kroc, didn't launch this burger empire globally until he was 52. IKEA's owner only started expanding globally in his 50s, and Walmart's founder opened his first store at 44.
Now look at Binance's CZ—he founded the exchange at 40, and what happened? In just a few years, he became an industry giant.
You're only in your twenties or thirties now, what are you saying? Your life hasn't even started accelerating yet. Those stories that seem to burst onto the scene overnight are actually built on years of steady effort. The anxiety you feel about being late now will, five or ten years from now, be your advantage—because you have time to experiment, make mistakes, and accumulate.
Why be so submissive to life so early? The best moments are often still ahead.

I accept this logic, but CZ's example... the timeline in the crypto world can't be compared to traditional industries at all, to be honest.

That's what they say, but can the average success rate of people in the crypto world at age 40 be the same as in traditional industries... Crypto is all about timing; if you miss the window, it's truly gone.

Only succeeding at fried chicken at age 65, who can be comforted by this? Most people have already passed away.
