With comments like that, do not help the crypto community, not all here at the beginning we knew all about crypto, I remember doing hours trying to optimize the mine in ether, and thanks to those who were a step ahead of me I succeeded, today I have 4 years in crypto and even thank them
I was early on ETH, late on BTC, and I knew barely anything about it.
Thus I was INCREDIBLY careful with my money.
You're talking Apples to Broccoli dude... it's different when we got started and ICO's werent coming out weekly raising 30 million...You really aren't comparing today to 4 years ago are you? I held ETH over a year AND FORGOT ABOUT IT before it made any significant gains, which is fine I didn't buy them out of speculation of price more for diversity.
Now you'll see a token hit exchanges and go 5-10x in a day or so...
You're the one hurting the crypto community by thinking it's normal/encouraged to spend your hard earned dollars into a technology you know absolutely nothing about?... Sure we've all started somewhere but we did it with small amounts and we weren't doing it expecting insanely fast gains.
Now you've got people who know NOTHING about this tech throwing in 10-100k...and you seriously think this is normal?...LOLI put 750 into ETH which today would be somewhere around 80 or 90...that 750 was such a huge number for me and Mist had some weird PW bug for only one of my accounts, which locked me out from probably $12-35 (when I finally tried again, thinking theres no way I only got THAT ONE password saved incorrectly). I forgot about it shortly after i thought I had the wrong PW...and it hurt bad, but I had accepted how stupid I was that I apparently save 9/10 passwords correctly except this one...
Needless to say it was a blessing to get locked out and just forget about it...but the fact remains that I didn't actually ever have the pass wrong, it's a known bug affecting a very small portion of users (possibly has to do with sync issues in MIST)...
We're now discussing people with that same lack of knowledge I had, or EVEN LESS, except instead of 750 and a bug, they're doing 7500 into an unproven concept SOLELY because of the promises of astronomical gains...not because of tech.
You sure YOURE helping the crypto community by encouraging this behavior bud?...
