Of course it has. The capital markets have not changed much since the 1600s Amsterdam. And yet it's very easy to find older engineers on HN that have some horror option exercise tax stories from the dotcom era. Heck, the same happened with trading Bitcoin at the 2017 top to a lot of people. And I'm sure there's going to be a lot more. And at the moment the very top comment in this thread is about someone who got $100k, same as everyone, except the founders who somehow got out with 8 figures. My point is to realize you're actually significantly disadvantaged. But i guess the youth has to do all the same mistakes over and over again, that's how the system goes forward. I should be cheering from the sidelines like most people do, it seems more fun :)
