I have been in this crypto market for several years and have many complex emotions and memories with it. For those participating in this market, many friends sold their houses and borrowed to invest in crypto when they suffered from FOMO, I saw many people become rich, and others dragged their whole families into poverty and debt. Worst of all, many people seek death to escape the obsession of loss and responsibility.
It’s so unfortunate that some of your friends sold their physical assets to invest in crypto back then. But I think this is because there was a limited knowledge about crypto because if they are knowledgeable about what they were about to do. I don’t think it will go to this extent of selling their house to invest in crypto because we all know the risk that is attached to this space when it comes to investment,
so I wonder why they took that action because they don’t want to miss out on the opportunity. However, let me just say they don’t have the knowledge of how it works by that time. If they do, they don’t sell their house to invest. That is why knowledge should be the first thing before getting into crypto investment.
The majority choose not to participate in this market, but they are also divided into 3 factions by the crypto "demon": the first faction regrets the opportunity to get rich, the second faction continues to be afraid and needs a lot of time to observe, the third faction hates and condemns crypto.
I think this is how it happens everywhere. We can’t believe in one thing, and at the same time, some people most condemn it regardless of how useful it is to our society, but right now I believe those people who neglected it and think it will not favour them will be regretting not accepting it in the early stages of the growth of cryptocurrency.
