I think the worse part of having been a crypto skeptic for such a long time is the I told you so moments. I'm not engaging in schadenfreude, I'm not happy about seeing people lose money. As much as I hate the crypto fanatics spreading nonsense I also hate shit like /r/buttcoin for pointing at people's misfortune. My dad paid off his house about a decade ago, but now he's underwater because he mortgaged it to buy crypto. He wanted help and I said no, I can't help you, its no different from a gambling addiction. You need therapy not more money.

I wonder how many more stories like this are going to come to light in the coming days. It's sad to see people being taken this way. But, as with anything that has a boom period, there were bound to be grifters taking advantage of people wanting to get in on the crypto gold rush.
