I think in these circumstances, it's likely that the rich will get richer and the poor will lose their money. I still believe that people can make money by investing in crypto-currencies, but seeing how whales are played with the market makes me sad.
I think that crypto can make us rich, just remember the situation that was in 2017, when Bitcoin grew up to 20,000$. And if you have in your wallet a few coins for a large amount, then imagine what can happen overnight if Bitcoin grows to 20,000$.
