The same will happen any time a "get rich quick" scheme comes around. People saw things going up 100% in price from one day to the next, compared to a 2% per year savings account. That's very enticing for anyone.

This one was at an impressive scale though. Probably because it was so accessible. I'd have my BIL in South America telling me he's playing a game that mines some random coin. Can't really say much other than to be sceptical and never risk more than you can afford to lose.

And that's the entire problem...by the time things go up in price by 100%, the people that will make money have already made it. Getting in at that point is useless, and will likely lose money.
