 It‘s an ego death. 
 I remember buying certain shitcoins because I thought Bitcoin was old and crusty. It took me about six months to figure out that the scam tokens were fiat generators for scammers.

Learning and accepting that I was wrong about Bitcoin was what Dr. Phil calls a defining moment.

 So right. Humility. To accept there is something bigger than you. That‘s the key. 
 You should write an article on it, Gigi 
 Who is speaking about the ego? Right, it's the ego!  
 Trump closing his speech with "whatever you are playing with " is a testimony of this fact.

It's hard to embrace a system where you are at par with your peers. Specially if you had a distinguished position in the Cantillonaire power play. 

Paul Krugman, Taleb .... 
 Sounds like life 😜 
 and a 'humility test' 😋
