If you own Bitcoin and still think it's wise to entrust people with it, then you've not properly understood just what it is you've come into.

It's something we'll be seeing a whole lot more with how people don't understand the basic principles of why Bitcoin even exists. Mainstream adoption is praised by many, but it's working against decentralization.

If you ask them what Bitcoin is, they'll tell you it's a currency for payments. If you then ask them what benefits there are to it, they don't know what there is to answer. They only care about their gains, everything else is not of importance.

BitConnect is the perfect example of that. It shocked me how after that platform went down videos popped up from people telling how they invested their life savings and lost it all a couple of months later.

It's their fault for sure. It was a desperate attempt to obtain a better life, and they failed miserably.

This is perfectly said - thank you
