The whole argument of "They were trading against plumbers" doesn't really make sense 2017 vs 2026 yes it takes a lot more effort/skill to be in the upper echelon of traders compared to back then but just like in every era, there are stupid ppl and smart ppl u traded based on your era and each era had its difficulties it's the same moot argument like oh Lebron would destroy people in the 80s, well yea that's cuz you had decades to change diets, coaching, practice, development of the game (ppl like Steph who redefined the sport in general), it's the same moot argument like any fortnite kid can destroy ninja in his prime, yea but you gotta understand that was prime for a reason back then the same goes for trading some traders nowadays wouldn't have made it to the eth faucet I promise you even if they're a good trencher nowadays
