I think you are absolutely right in this: most people just want to become super rich in a short period of time.
To my mind 99,9% cryptotraders have never traded before. They are lawyers, managers, cleaners etc. But not profesional traders. And of course they don't care about future of cryptocurrency. We all want dollars, expensive clothes and cars. Most of us do not care about technologies, speed of transaction. It is not bad and it is not good. People just want to live better then now
