Or be really insanely lucky with timing, like how I almost bought $1k of bitcoin in 2009, or how my brother almost invested in Tesla same year (we were almost lucky)
I remember hearing about bitcoin when they were like 10k btc for a single pizza and thinking "wow these are obviously a scam I'm not touching that shit" and I was right but also wrong
You do have to be lucky, but as someone who lost a whole bitcoin I mined from the early 2000s, I still think "even if you had it you would've sold it when it went up in price to like ten dollars". I feel like you have to be lucky with timing AND stupid enough to hold for the exact right amount of time, which I guess is just being double lucky.
To make money from stocks you need a lot of money to start with
