I often see people complain bitterly about the opportunity they missed years ago. Infact, I am one of the people. But, it just occurred to me that there is no late commer in the world of Cryptocurrencies. More coins are introduced everyday.
You're neither late in Bitcoin. Just because you didn't receive 10000 BTC for giving away two pizzas doesn't mean that you're late. It hasn't been globally adopted and lots of people believe that it will. There's lots of development right now around Bitcoin and I'm really bullish for its future. I'm also a
S2FX model follower.
Taking into account that you are talking about cryptocurrencies in general, I agree with you that nobody knows which will be the next x100 or x1000 coin, but I guess that there will be some in the future. So it is quite early for crypto in general, in my opinion.
That's the thought that makes altcoins getting dumped and abandoned. You're investing into something to get rid of it later. Essentially, you get paid from later investors with funds from recent investors where all of the investors want to simply get rich from the coin by doing a 100x. It's a pyramid scheme.
Even if it may be represented as a legal move, it's surely unethical.
