although i think you aren't being serious, this is genuinely poor advice.
> The reader can see my unusual notion of alternative accounting: $ 10 million earned through Russian roulette does not have the same value as $ 10 million earned through the diligent and artful practice of dentistry. They are the same, can buy the same goods, except that one’s dependence on randomness is greater than the other.

If my 25y/o self had started mining bitcoin, and held on to that btc, I would be a millionaire right now. Remember, this advice is for myself when I was 25, not for people that are currently 25. Obviously, mining btc right now would be a waste of time/energy unless you have a btc mining factory in your back yard.
