Feel like it’s mostly driven by FOMO and social pressure right now. I have a friend who told me that his accountant adviced him to invest in crypto (bitcoin) “because a person that his following with his job recently purchased a Ferrari after a Bitcoin investment”.

The Nick Young meme is probably closest to what happened: https://s3.amazonaws.com/hiphopdx-production/2016/06/nick-yo...
This person simply does not understand that anything “works” in a bull market. The next recession or cryptocurrency market pullback will be their first since they started speculating, and after that, I think their advice will be better.
