i would venture to say this statement is everything that is wrong with crypto today. people look at it like its a get rich quick scheme, when the most important thing is what functionality a coin provides or what problem it solves. ANYTHING can go up in value based on speculation. tulips for instance. but it is this idea of having found themselves a money tree which gets people tied up in the scummiest projects like Bitconnect and other lending platforms (and verge lol). some people are investing to be on the ground floor of a revolutionary technology that has the potential to improve the lives of the poorest among us as well as those in the developed world. but others seem to be getting involved solely based on greed and the idea that they are going to make 10,000% interest; when many stock/bond portfolio managers will never make 10% interest. often when it seems too good to be true it is, and those that FOMO hard when everything was sky high in November have went on to lose their shirts...
