I wrote a comment today on one of 
You can't educate people by force.
I find it a bit similar to what's happening now at a macro level with the crypto market as a whole. I've read many comments and posts in the past couple of days from people that are panicking because they clearly haven't taken the time to understand what blockchain technology is or why it is important. The kind of people that maybe have heard that bitcoin and cryptos are "hot" right now and they can make a lot of money in a short period of time without doing much. The kind of people that can't really differentiate between investments and speculations.
I think that at this moment in time, if you're not a developer, there are only two options if you're in the crypto market. You are either a long-term investor in a project or projects that you have read about and analyzed their future growth potential. You know, kinda like the Warren Buffet type that invests in a company and holds the stocks for 5-10-20 years.
Or, you are a trader that takes it's buying and selling decisions based on understanding technical and fundamental analysis and that clearly understands what drives speculation in the market. This isn't for most people. I know because I've had a Forex trader as a flat mate for a few years. Believe me, being a trader is a 24/7 job. The type of mental strength, clarity and focus that you need to have to make money from trading is something that most people simply do not have.
My opinion is that there are a bit to many that are currently in the market who are neither of the above and that's a bad situation for them to be in and to not understand it. These are the people that will buy for the wrong reasons and sell for the even worse ones.
This month is a very good opportunity for anyone to ask (and maybe remind) himself or herself: why am I interested in cryptocurrencies and the technology behind them? It could be an excellent and useful moment for self-reflection.
