No, a majority of people are not driven by greed. The Majority are driven by self preservation of themselves and their loved ones first and foremost.
Life insurance in Aus alone is worth over $66 a year in revenue and not for no reason..
The Majority are also sick of being screwed with the pointy end of a Pineapple by Banks and .Gov each and every day as well.
Cash deposit's, Shares, Pension funds, Super, Real Estate, any and everything that one either saves for or Invest's in is all gamed towards either the Banks or the Government being the House, IE: They always win, everytime. Even outside of that the .Gov't stings nearly every purchase one makes with a %10 GST on top, even with your super in most cases, on the way in and out.
I've sat and watched one of the shares I own get gamed by algo's over the last couple of weeks with single shares being bought and sold one after the other time after time on the ASX, which I nor any other "Normie" could ever do legally, let alone get away with it without paying the $20 dollar trading fee for each and every trade on both the sell and buy side of it. Yet for the "big boy's" it is all quite legal.
People wonder why Crypto's are SO attractive to those who can get their heads around it ?
Because it levels the playing field, It fucks both the .Gov't and the Banks at the same time, and you know on the other end of the trade that there is just another poor schmuck like yourself trying to make a profit that neither of the aforementioned pieces of shit are going to get their hands on.
I've personally taken out well over twice what I originally put in, well actually a whole lot more than that really as my original input was part of a power bill (which I also paid GST on).
I'm getting pretty sick of people who aren't involved, have no skin in the game, obviously know SFA about Crypto's and continually make stupid comments such as that above. (Not you alor) and from now on will not be showing them any respect whatsoever, they don't deserve it.
Just go and get a life and stop trying to save people from themselves, when they are obviously much more astute and alert as to what they are doing with their own money than you are. Better yet, learn from them, get a few tips from the growing hoard of silver stackers who have given Crypto's a second or third thought and taken the leap and a bit of risk with some play money.
You might be surprised at the learning curve required to operate in the Crypto world at first, actually learning and judging instead of looking at some lumps of metal can seem a tad scary. Knowing that .Gov and the Bank's aren't going to bail you out if you screw up and copy and paste the wrong address or get a decimal point wrong can be quite unsettling as well. But the satisfaction of nailing a 200-400-600% increase in a few weeks, swapping it out for BTC or ETH or LTC and posting a For Sale in the Crypto threads right here on SS and getting your initial Oz Back, is so so rewarding, that before long you will have Coinmarketcap.com at the top of your Bookmarks right next to several exchanges. (if you can even get in on one at the moment) And then the left over 100-500% from your initial is off doing the same thing again the next month, and the month after that, and then the month after that again. And then Shit, you lost out and only recovered half of what you put into one of them.
See how it works ? Any where in between you can cash out all or just a bit, pay a bill, treat yourself and your Family, shit go Chrissy shopping like I did and not even worry about it at all. I actually made more over Christmas than I spent and I dindunuffin except enjoy Christmas and New years ! It could all crash tomorrow and I would still be ahead because it has cost me exactly ZERO.
But I still think there is a shitload more to be made, We haven't seen anything yet as most of the current platforms that evolved from BTC are just starting to take a hold in the real world. ETH, Veritaseum, Binance, ADA, OMG, EOS, Iota, etc, etc, etc, Most people on the planet have not a clue about any of these Techs at all. Let's face it most people don't even know about Bitcoin yet.
Show me anywhere else you can make 200% in three weeks, and then I will listen to your warnings.
