Not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur—and honestly, that's totally okay.



Kevin O'Leary recently shared his take on this in a podcast chat. According to him, roughly one out of every three people actually has what it takes: the appetite for risk, the mental toughness to handle pressure, and the ability to sit with uncertainty while building something from scratch.

The other two-thirds? They're wired differently. They thrive in stable environments, prefer predictable income, and aren't energized by the chaos that comes with startup life. Neither path is wrong—they're just different. The key is knowing which one fits you, especially if you're thinking about diving into the crypto or Web3 space.

I think a 1/3 chance is still too optimistic; the failure rate for startups in Web3 should be doubled...

Honestly, entrepreneurship is something you can't force. Most of us are still better off working for others. O'Leary is right, very few people can truly let go of everything and go all-in... especially in Web3, where the risks are high and many people get hurt.

Two-thirds of people are destined to be bagholders—that's the harsh truth of the market...

NGL Kevin is right, but it seems most people are just fooling themselves into thinking they're in the top one-third haha It's especially obvious in the crypto circle, where a bunch of people see a price increase and think they're the chosen ones There are very few who can truly withstand that uncertainty, I'm serious
