“Look out of the window,” said those who were calling for a market capitalisation of 5 billion for coins built around their own names. Now take a closer look: if you look out of the window, all you can see is a zero. Social media kids love living in fairy tales and worshipping these gurus, who are capable of completely distorting reality. All it takes is a few motivational phrases, two targets plucked at random and a bit of popularity to turn them into the new messiahs of finance. The truth is much simpler: none of these figures will come to save you. No guru will make you rich, and no cryptocurrency becomes a serious investment simply because it bears the name of someone with lots of followers. Out here, you have to make it on your own: by studying, working and learning to think for yourselves. Even I won’t make you rich; I can help you, but without your own commitment, you won’t get anywhere. Worshipping figures on social media is not a financial strategy. Buying their coins isn’t investing: it’s paying the price of admission to take part in their fairy tale. And the problem with financial fairy tales is always the same: sooner or later, reality sets in.
