The majority of the people out there do not want to wait to become rich, they want to obtain great riches without any effort and that is why they are willing to take such high risks, while a person that took the safe route of making 30% a year with cryptocurrencies will obtain 1000x profits in less than 27 years, and that is not taking into account you could invest more each year or earn a larger percentage, which could seriously accelerate your accumulation of wealth, besides if you invested a large amount from the beginning then you will not need such a ridiculously high growth and you could achieve your monetary goals in less than a decade.
