90s kids in crypto have missed more generational wealth opportunities than most people see in a lifetime:
$BTC early mining: One guy mined 55,000 BTC on a regular PC. Peak value? $48 billion.
$ETH ICO at $0.31: $10k turned into $160 million at the top.
$BNB launch at $0.15: $10k became $90 million.
$UNI airdrop: Just one on-chain tx = 400 UNI = $130k at peak.
BAYC mint at 0.08 $ETH: Floor hit 152 ETH. That's $3 million per NFT.
ENS airdrop: Spent $50 on a .eth domain, got $140k in tokens.
$OP airdrop: Few dollars in gas = 27,534 OP = $960k max.
$ARB airdrop: Bridged some funds = 10,250 ARB = $180k.
$BLUR S1: Listed some NFTs = 3.2M BLUR = $115 million peak.
Jito airdrop: $40 in JitoSOL staking = $70k drop.
$HYPE airdrop: Testnet degen farmed 509k HYPE = $280 million at ATH.
Every cycle prints new millionaires. The question isn't if you missed the last one—it's whether you'll catch the next.
Most of these required less than $100 and basic curiosity. The alpha was always there. Execution wasn't.
