Stop saying “They shouldn't have invested more than they could afford to lose”
But...they shouldn&#x27;t have invested more than they could afford to lose. This article gives no reasons why the author&#x27;s thesis should be true, besides people being desperate.<p>&gt; <i>So “don’t invest more than you can afford to lose” is tough advice to swallow for the large group of people who are seeing the gleaming promises around crypto, but who also don’t _have_ money they can afford to lose.</i><p>So if they don&#x27;t have money, then they shouldn&#x27;t invest it in speculative investments like crypto.<p>&gt; <i>It’s apparently easy for people to castigate those who’ve just lost everything by repeating this refrain, in the same way it seems to be easy for people to only start pointing out the “obvious Ponzi” or “clear scam” projects only after everything crumbles.</i><p>No, people have been saying since the beginning that crypto is a scam, not <i>after</i> these scams happen. And even if it were after scams happening, there have been so many [0] that surely people would understand that future scams are likely.<p>Honestly, I have no sympathy for these people. If they want to be greedy and commit millions of dollars into these scams ([1] which the author hyperlinks to) then that&#x27;s on them. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, isn&#x27;t that how the saying goes?<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web3isgoinggreat.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web3isgoinggreat.com&#x2F;</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;Invest_Voyager&#x2F;comments&#x2F;vsj9nx&#x2F;how_much_crypto_usd_did_you_have_on_voyager_ill&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;Invest_Voyager&#x2F;comments&#x2F;vsj9nx&#x2F;how_...</a>
