One could make the point the signs were there in 27, 87, 07, 20 too. If you hoarded your cash under the mattress - you never lost a cent, but you sure lost out on a LOT of gains.

I am no fan of Crypto - but I own about 5 % in my investment accounts as part of being diversified. In the past, those funds would have been in gold / metals. I think WHEN the next correction happens (over 20% fall, not just a blip) Crypto will be the biggest beneficiary not a loser. If the crash is bad enough for banks to fail, crypto will be the safe haven, not the precious metals.
