If you're able to save 10% of your salary for retirement, you're a lot better off in raw dollar amount to work in SV and then move elsewhere at retirement.

They still choose to continue down that path, or to not seek healing. Maybe it would be difficult to make another choice, but impossible? I find that pretty hard to believe.

Based on my research it seems like Bittrex allows the trading of Tether and lets people cash out to USD. Poloniex also. Seems like a round about way of getting USD out of Bitfinex.

Is there anything like Bitpay for Ethereum? I haven't seen any major retailers that directly accept ETH, which is a pretty significant use case for any currency.

Only a small number actually have to be faked to build momentum and FOMO. Greed is very powerful and seems to bear a lot of influence on those participating in crypto.
