if 330M people flip a coin 20 times in a row, someone will get close to 20 heads. that person might have been zuck. how much is talent and how much is luck, no one will even know.

There is something that we do know though. Those who dont flip coin at all will never get close to 20 heads. Ever.

Why would I even want to flip a coin? I already have a bag full of pennies.

I rather focus on studying languages and instruments. Sacrificed too much time chasing money. Don't have the brain for it.
