Not comparable in that regard imho. Investing in crypto is made available to anyone with an app on their phone. Everyone knows that building a business is not an easy way of becoming millionaire. Crypto bullshit is made and presented to people as exactly that : an easy way of becoming millionaire, and in reality, it is an easy way of losing everything you invest, because it's mostly a pyramid scheme.

I think you've made clear how you feel about cryptocurrency. I don't have any interest in trying to defend it. But that rap about building (an online) business in order to become a millionaire... you haven't seen the ads??

Anyway the comment I was responding to said "crypto, NFTs, stocks".

I think equalizing all investing with gambling is way over-simplified and inaccurate. The dynamics of it all as well as the skillsets required to succeed are way different.

Feel free to disagree, I don't mind.
