You jest, but maybe you can be too smart. If you can see through an unwise scheme you may not invest in it, even though you would be able to offload your investment on someone else later if you had...
or not wise enough to realise that the game you're playing isn't whether the scheme is good, but how likely others are to buy into the scheme.
Anyone can buy tulips in the beginning, even accidently.
Apologies, I appreciate your effort but I honestly do not care whatsoever about cryptocurrency and feel like I am subjected to a neverending ad champaign. I evaluated it very early on (a couple of months into bc launch), decided it did not sufficiently cover my 3 main purposes of a currency, and promptly removed all software (and any future regret, unless bc somehow gets to be worth $100mil/satoshi...) from my system.
Huuh this video is not about cryptocurrency... It's about being dumb but still getting rich out of luck.
Ah. That is also something I probably won't have to worry about too much. Thanks for the additional summary, that improves the probability I will watch it.
They could won the lottery, it does not tell anything about their intelligence. Actually, it tells something, very smart people don't play the lottery and I guess they did not invest in the crypto scam.
I believe “dumb luck” is the phrase that describes that.
