Crypto Is Creating Unhealthy Investing Expectations
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Now, believe me when I say - I know what it's like to get caught up in the hype. I'm bullish on the future of crypto, and think huge gains are likely in the coming years. </p> <p>With that said, seeing the things that have been posted lately is frankly quite alarming. It seems like the bull run has warped people's expectations of what investing is, and what normal returns should be. </p> <p>I've seen posts that start with: "Ok, here's how you take profits. Let's say you invest in a coin, and assume it then goes up 300% ..."</p> <p>Assume it goes up 300%?? Yeah I get it ... it's a bull run, and things have been mooning. But people are talking like this is normal, and you can just assume 300% gains? </p> <p>Or another recent post ... "Nano is growing so slowly, it was $1 earlier this year, and it's only $5 now ... what's stopping its growth?" </p> <p>People are going to be in for a rude awakening if they ever invest in anything else. </p> <p>"I just bought this house last year, why has the price not doubled?" </p> <p>"I invested in Amazon, why is the price only 20% higher this year?" </p> <p>Reality check guys ... if you can invest in the market and get 10-15% returns year after year, that's AMAZING. </p> <p>Crypto may very well continue to moon, but it won't be like this forever. And I hope you don't venture elsewhere with a distorted view of expected returns in investments. Just my two cents.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/calvintheidiot"> /u/calvintheidiot </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/lv42nt/crypto_is_creating_unhealthy_investing/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/lv42nt/crypto_is_creating_unhealthy_investing/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
