Well yes, there is always that first mover advantage and the greater fool theory at work. So I'm sure there are plenty of people like you mentioned who got in A/B and sold near the peak during Untamed and early Chaos Legion that did very very well. Land as well surely printed thousands and thousands in profit for those in early.

But those people who got in early and have held through, they may have missed the boat. It will be hard to ever reclaim that 2020 era hype because nobody has the free time to just hang out at home and play with crypto like we did back then.

The profits to be made now come through investing time and effort creating a successful third party system. Or those like you who create content through carious channels. I know a few who try to snipe the market or look for underpriced cards to flip, but on the whole, prices just trend down over time for most of the assets outside the A/B/U cards for land. Even trying to front-run the token price appreciation has been more difficult the past few years.
