Guys/Gals it's posted in the meme community, clearly this did not happen. The joke is funnier in the first person.

I did when family asked me. I said it's a good way to play with spare cash that you have no qualms about losing. That it's the most volatile place you can put your money, either making a few bucks or losing it all

That's how everyone described crypto, right?

My mate made 15k the other day from investing in a shitcoin. Then he told us about all of the other shitcoins he invested in that went to zero.

Overall he does make a profit, but that's with a lot of knowledge in the sector and a lot of understanding that you're going to lose far more often than you win.
