So how do you make people not holding it as 'an investment'? Seriously, anything holds a little bit of value can be used as an investment and there is nothing you could do about it. Much less than cryptocurrencies with high value and a greater chance to earn profits.
He thinks people are too hasty with their investments and shouldn't touch it if they expect quick and big returns.
I agree with that but I also am aware that greed is good. Greedy people are restless and are not afraid to wet their feet. You won't make money at all if you don't invest, so my advice is: try and don't be afraid. If it doesn't work out for you, it will not be the end.
