Didn't read the article but wanted to comment on the bizarre title.
Vast majority = well over 50%
Inevitably = 100%.
So, "Well over 50% of bitcoin investors lose money 100% of the time".
Huh?
50% of coin tosses are heads 100% of the time.

- andromeduck 4y agoThe equivalent woud be 50% of coin tossers loose 100% of the time.
- kazinator 4y agoExactly: it's like saying "about half of all coin tosses are inevitably heads!" The adverb "inevitably" at best doesn't do anything in that sentence (not unusual for adverbs), and at worst looks as if the claim is being embedded that a heads outcome can somehow be inevitable.
