Unfortunately, social media has facilitated this comparison. People post their success without the reality behind it.
I have come to realise that there are people who parade themselves as Bitcoin lords on social media, giving people the false narrative that they are earning big from either crypto trading or their crypto investments. These are the ones who give newbies the impression that cryptocurrency investment or trading is a sure way to become rich.
While I condemn the act of misleading gullible people, I also apportion a huge part of the blame to those who allow themselves to get carried away without doing some research to verify how authentic the lifestyle of their role model is and their supposed source of income. Maybe they think that crypto investment is a regular kind of investment that does not require much calculation to achieve desired results. As we will always say, once they fail to plan well, they learn better from their experiences.
