I agree that the comment is a bit harsh but it may add something to the discussion. Hopefully it is a warning to others to not go this path.

Where else would you leave such a warning if not in the actual thread?

If watching someone lose $50k USD equivalent doesn't prevent someone else from doing this sort of thing, a random internet meanie will definitely not dissuade them.

Random internet meanie aside, if this happened to a friend or a family member, I would absolutely try to explain to them that they were an idiot for putting their life savings into crypto in the first place.
