Completely agree with you. You get kids(not all but some) who start mining years ago because it was something cool a bunch of them can do. Then fast forward to now, with no real information on how markets work, never really invested, they see the sudden drop and freak out and sell.
Like i wrote earlier, I'm far away from being anything you could call an expert in the financial field, but I do have the common sense to do research, read articles from people that make a living from it, and educate myself doing.
