buy a big bucket of soap, a metal ring, make big bubbles, put your money in there and let it drift away :P

I am sure there are few players who are making money in the cryptocurrency market. It is hilarious to see how some people on HN downright reject the idea of investing in Crypto as if it is like throwing money to fire. To people who are making money and taking out profits from the market at same time will see these people living in denial.

Just for example, I bought few Ethereum when it was around $70 and sold half of it and took money out of market when it hit $300. Now I do not care if I loose my rest of money. I just invest in other cryptos for long run and watch where the market goes.

Probably just the good old "I missed out on it, therefore it's going to fail, and I'll be able to feel better about it".

Most people here are used to thinking that if there's something that looks too good, it's probably a scam and/or someone else is already doing it better. But just by being a software engineer and reading HN you are probably in the top percentile of people qualified to evaluate (and invest in) ICOs.

Thanks for your reply. I did the same as you but I got lucky and got in at $10 -- there was an ethereum meetup in my town in 2016! Got lucky. :D
