Yes absolutely I agree with Bob. It's extremely easy to be judgemental in hindsight. What if years later Alice lost her ass because the US government changed capital gains on BTC, and it got regulated to near death?
Also maybe Alice isn't always open minded, but that day she was. Maybe Bob listened to people who are extremely trustworthy that happened to be wrong.
It's easy to be snobby when your decisions turned out to be correct, but none of this is written in stone.

Good points, but this makes me wonder if everything is "just luck". By your logic it seems like any good decision could be "just luck" in someone else's view.

You're lucky to even have enough fiat to be able to get Bitcoin. You live on a planet where 12,000 people starve to death every day.
Most people are oblivious to the fact that their outcomes have way more to do with luck than they care to admit.
I mean, congratulations on making one decision that worked out, but what of Bob invested in AI and got 10x the returns that Alice did?
Stack stats and stay humble, there's a reason that statement is so important.
