Ha, I love the comedy and sarcasm in this post. I had a friend basically brow beat me on the idea of Bitcoin being akin to Tulipmania not too long ago, and I tried to express to him that it shouldn't be that big of a deal what other people do with their money regardless of the currency. It's costed me nothing to get involved with cryptocurrencies via Steemit and I've actually learned a lot since being an active participant on the platform.
I also stand behind the idea of not investing any more than you are willing to lose, that goes for any kind of investment.
Good advice!
