Cryptocurrency investment reminds me of the "Airplane" scheme in the 80's.

A group would be formed to create a flight. There would be a captain, co-pilot, flight attendant, and twenty passengers. Each passenger had to recruit a replacement to advance one seat toward the cockpit. To board the flight you had to pay $5K. Then each new recruited passenger would advance you one seat. After you recruited enough you would find yourself in the captain's seat and collected $50K.

This could be done during the regular work day around the office, on the phone, or at lunch. Once a week the "Flight" would meet where the captain got paid and the new passengers would board.

It was real fun until you ran out of friends and associates willing to cough up $5K. When it collapsed it made for some very ugly workplace relationships.
