Sure, he could have become a billionaire, but that's not good rationale as a reason "not to leave a startup." For every "Ronald Wayne" there are many many more

Sure, he could have become a billionaire, but that's not good rationale as a reason "not to leave a startup." For every "Ronald Wayne" there are many many more people who will never become billionaires (or even millionaires) no matter what investment or employment decisions they make. Using this guy as a reason to not leave a startup is like pointing to the last person who won the jackpot in a lottery and saying "that's why you should always buy lottery tickets."
- dguaraglia 14y agoYeah, it's ridiculous. Same thing as pointing to Pete Best and saying "see, had he been a bit better, he would've been the fourth Beatle instead of Ringo". People should start realizing that hindsight is always 20/20. Maybe reading "The Black Swan"?
