The point was that there are a lot of people who bought in or near the top thinking that the price could "only go up, uP, UP" who just watched over half their savings evaporate. That is a big deal. The hype chamber here and on r/bitcoin is convincing people who don't know any better to throw all their money (and in some cases leveraging through loans) into BTC with all of this "to da mooooon" bullshit.
It's about time people learnt to think with their own pumpkins; if family didn't teach that internet will. And anyway, there is no drama - in a year, it will turn out that this was still a solid advice (buying at 1000). So the hypothetical kid profits while learning a lesson of risk management in the process. What can be better?
