"All I know is that I maxed my 401K for almost three decades before I retired. Two years after investing mere $5K into crypto, my crypto is now worth more than my 401K. For the past two years, Freepers have been down-playing crypto, meanwhile my retirement savings have doubled. My assessment is that most people don't understand crypto, and therefore are negative about it. I spent a lot of time learning about it and researching the investment space. Yes, if you are stupid about it and aren't careful, you can lose you're shirt, but if you take the time to learn and understand, you can do very, very well in crypto. "

Perfect! It is what I have been trying to explain in my posts but you did much better on yours.

People simply don't understand it so they are writing off the chance of a lifetime.

It had a pretty big spike this year from which it came down. it’s still up around 350 percent for the past year or so. Still pretty volatile but has settled down a bit.

If the FBI can hack the blackmailer’s BitCon account, anyone else can hack yours.

The FBI did not hack that account, it was social engineered or it was their wallet to begin with, they didn’t say how they “got into” that wallet. They likely broke some fingers or used drugs, all they need is the plate or scrap of paper the seed phrase is written on and they’re in.
