Was a change of sentiment required to help achieve 8-digit CEO

It seems like things may no longer be running in accordance with "the

Productive traders, sometimes, are a little like a parasite --like
lawyers.

Didn't wish to offend. It's just that they contribute as much as Poker
players -- Zero sum game.

Maybe not "exactly", but (hopefully) you get my point. Or even better,
