I guess it'll never go to zero without legislation... but the Internet's power to make communities from far-flung people mean nowadays we have a community of flat-earthers, as well as a community of rubes, and they'll continue to believe in it as it bubbles up and bursts again and again.

The number of rubes you could convince about tulips in Amsterdam was finite, but on the Internet...

I think a lot of "investors" (gamblers) know it is mostly a scam, but are hoping they're not going to be the ones left without a chair when the music stops.
