It really depends on the person's interpretation, which is the sum total of many years of life experience, subconscious impulses, and conscious objectives. Even traditional finance can be a gateway if you study it with an intention to build wealth, and you're aware that the government is not your friend in that regard.

A shitcoiner who knows how to withdraw from an exchange is probably a lot closer to understanding Bitcoin than a real estate investor who insists on copy-pasting conventional wisdom until it blows up in his face. I'd argue the shitcoiner has more potential than the guy who invests 3% into BTC because of "blue chip" and "diversification" nonsense buzzwords that distract from the fact that there's only 21 million.
