Absolutely. This is why in the digital currency realm we’ll absolutely see a repeat of many the exact same grifts over and over again that we’ve already gone through and already figured out how to mitigate. But we’ll just fall for them all over again.
It’s amazing to me how many times we’re repeating the same mistakes over and over again that we’ve made in the relatively recent past because “it’ll be different this time because technology!” or whatever—and i don’t only mean in the coin sphere.
I work, live, breathe, eat and play with technology however, quite a few people, usually those falling for marketing hype have deluded themselves pretty hard. Humanity scale chaotic complexity problems still exist and technology isn’t even close to solving those and won’t be for a long, long time.

Also the reason we have lottery tickets and casinos and pyramid schemes. People logically know it is risky, but they want to give it a chance just in case this time is different.
