Ask HN: Aware of crypto since 2014 but never invested

I feel so dumb that I did not make any money in crypto. I've been aware of crypto since 2014, and I used to hang out in the forums of Bitcoin.

I know a few people in my area who are not into tech. They have no idea about the technology and are not very updated in tech, yet they invested in crypto and made some money.

Sometimes I feel that all this education reduces my risk-taking. I don't trust new things or people easily.
