    I know a guy that put like 5k on a credit card to buy some shitty kangaroo NFTs that were apparently worth 100k. He refused to sell because crypto bros convinced him it was gonna go to the moon and now they're worthless. Pretty fucking funny all things considered.

      My brother got into doge right before it jumped in value. I tried so hard to convince him to cash out or at least sell enough to cover his original "investment" ($50 I think). He refused. I think it's worth around the same now but he was convinced he could become a millionaire and not just that, pay off family's student loans or buy houses for us. As far as I know he didn't buy more at least. As much as it would've been nice for him to have made a couple hundred bucks off it he at least isn't out of 10 grand.

      I guess, it's no worse than a month or two of scratch offs right? I've never done it but I've never tried hard to convince my parents to stop buying scratch offs once a week either.
