It's probably his way to attract attention, but Bitcoin shouldn't be seen as way to be a millionaire or rich easily. His claim that cryptocurrency “does the hard work.” also ignore effort and work done by cryptocurrency community.
No I don't think his words ignore the effort that a person has to make million from BTC, either he is doing spot or future great efforts have to be made. I think he tried to compare the two paths leading to the rank of millionaire. One is entrepreneurship, and the second is BTC investment. If these two are compared I think we only need investment in BTC to make million, only if you are planning to hold BTC for the next 10 years. But if you want to trade in spot or future in BTC then you need more than just investment. You need knowledge, activness, control on your emotions, have to face the harsh market conditions.
But if you are an entrepreneur, you have to find right opportunity, investment, have to be motivated all the times, you have to give more time to work and lesser to relation, you have to be ready and prepare to take quick decisions and action, there are a lot of properties for an entrepreneur while not for a BTC investor. I hope you got my point here. But still the factors I mentioned for entrepreneur, they also work for BTC as well if a person can't control his emotions, he will also try to avoid personal relations and spend more time in market.
