A housekeeper who invested $12k in cryptocurrencies in the past few weeks is quoted as saying:
“And maybe I’m going to lose it,” she said. “Maybe I’m going to keep cleaning houses. But something is telling me I can trust this generation. My instinct is telling me this is the future.”
This time is different?
Personally I don't feel any regret in ignoring the whole thing, even though I've known about Bitcoin since pretty much day one (thanks to HN of course). I look at the people who are crypto enthusiasts and it's obvious that I would have to be a completely different kind of person to be in the game.
In that sense it's no different from Wall Street traders, YouTube personalities, real estate agents or multi-level marketers -- I don't envy their financial successes either because I wouldn't want their lives (and even if I wanted it, I would most likely fail hard at the job because of personality mismatch).
