Despite the mocking comments, most people in this nut house would have agreed with them back then Tongue

At the time there was a thread in the speculation sector where this guy was talking about taking out a loan to buy bitcoin (and the price was already at $1000). Several people tried to talk him down, saying don't borrow, but he'd started the thread to convince himself, didn't really take on board what people were saying and pulled the trigger. He was convinced he'd be rich within six months. I don't think we heard from him again.
