An interesting real world example of a group of rationalists failing to convert belief into action: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/MajyZJrsf8fAywWgY/a-lesswrong-crypto-autopsy https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/MajyZJrsf8fAywWgY/a-lesswron... A large number of people in this community regretted failing to invest in cryptocurrency, despite being the perfect group of people to recognize the spectacular potential payoff of the decision.

Some folks who try to be rational pulled out of bitcoin/similar when their stakes were lost in one or more of the exchange hacks / inside jobs. I know I bailed when my ~.25 bitcoin disappeared in an exchange "hack" 5-6 years ago (back when that amount was worth something like $100).
