I have been consistently wrong about when various scams have exploded, both thinking that they would explode earlier than they did and that it would take longer. If I'd tried to short the crypto crashes so far I probably would have lost money overall even with just the ones where I was correct about them going to zero. With a lot more research I perhaps could be net positive, but I don't actually want to spend a lot more time digging into something that I consider stupid bullshit.
