I interact with a lot of people who ask me about crypto and I like to be completely honest with them. They come in starry-eyed and then I hit them with the truth.
I tell people that it's not all fair weather but if you're willing to try and combine that with some luck, things could end up right. Unfortunately, not many people are willing to try.
Many people are unwilling to try because they fear failing, they fear loosing out. So many people are not risk takers.
