This piece is primarily meant to be part confession, part parody— a bit of truth mixed with some tongue-in-cheek humour. But to answer your question: Yes. There are a lot of people who believe they are going to get rich from crypto or content. A friend of mine is a grade school teacher. Most of her kids want to grow up and become YouTubers instead of doctors or police officers. Many people believe they are going to be the lucky fraction of a percentage who ‘makes it’ from their podcast or their timely purchase of Dogecoin.
