So we should coddle and protect everyone from everything? The central bank should make every Bitcoin “investor” whole? If a company goes public gets investors and then goes bankrupt because of illegal practices and it’s shown it duped investors there is recourse. If a bank goes under the assets are FDIC insured. If you “invest” in the next big revolutionary currency that will upend everything and it falls some 60 to 70% from its highs is it really a currency or a stock or a wildly speculative possibly ponzi-style scheme? So yes folks should know the risks. There’s no historical precedent for any of this. It’s always been volatile and if you wanna stay in it know you might lose your shirt. But investing for the long term is a function of time and compounding interest. On average the US stock indexes have returned some 8% or more, again on average, for the last day 50 years or something along those lines. Consistent investing day every month for years and years will see things grow. Buying when things go down and as they rise - dollar cost averaging — is a fine and prudent way to put money aside and see it grow. But to think folks could just “invest” in Bitcoin and become millionaires — maybe — but also don’t bet the farm on it if you’re a farmer.
