You'll see a lot of get rich quick crypto schemes around Wisconsin. It's a little depressing. I hate to see people who I know are not so well off risking what little they have on something so precarious.

$5 of Bitcoin, if purchased five years ago, is worth like $80 now. Hardly a lotto ticket.

$5 of Bitcoin, if purchased a year ago, is worth like $3.50 now.

That's enough to buy some lottery tickets!

This was definitely not 5 years ago. This was 12 months ago.

And yes you can definitely win $80 from a $5 lotto ticket I promise you.

Which will never win.
