You are proof that the only people interested in crypto do it to try and become rich.
That user only represents some of crypto. There are others like myself who are not in it to get rich, but to maintain sovereignty in a surveillance state and dystopian world such as we are heading for.

If Elon tweets “you can no longer buy tesla withy bitcoin”, your savings will loose a lot of value over night.
