    Remember the kind of people who got really into NFTs and lost everything? That’s exactly the kind of people who got really into bitcoin 15 years ago, they just happened to get extremely lucky this one time. There’s a reason why most bitcoin millionaires are such incompetent douchebags.

      Realistically there wasn’t that much to lose if you mined instead of invested. NFTs is a different story.
