What in real economy in terms of "charts" and "ticks" and "emotions" happens in 20 years, in crypto it happens faster probably in 4 years.

I don't know, but the way it is. People in crypto are used to 90% off within few weeks, where people in the other world probably won't experience it in a lifetime with their "traditional" investments. This is why it's so hard to explain..

It's much harder to onboard into a new currency, than to onboard to new social media platform.

It's like learning to fly an airplane VS learning to drive a car.

People treat their financial stuff with more caution than opening an account on TikTok.

No, crypto did not invent the financial scam either. I got lucky myself but I wouldn't tell my mom to put their retirement money into crypto and your sales pitch sounds more like a pitch for a cult than sane investment advice.
