What's even more shocking is when people lose complete sense just because some so-called "celebrity" tweets a similar scheme, only to find out later that their account was actually hacked. I remember some people losing hundreds of thousands in a really basic bitcoin "doubler" promotion posted by Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad that these people blindly follow anything posted by certain accounts and it is very hard to have sympathy. At a certain point these people already had enough money to live on comfortably but essentially ended up gambling small fortunes when somebody claims a preposterous scheme to increase their cryptoassets far beyond what could be considered average.
