3. As in any typical lottery, the remainder of your investment is distributed randomly and unevenly among the investors. >>
4. As in any typical lottery, there is no other source of money that can come back to the investors, except what they have invested and has not been pocketed by the organizers. >>
5. Threfore, as a whole, cryptocurrency investors are *mathematically guaranteed* to lose much of the money that they have invested or will invest. >>
6. As in any lottery, while some lucky crypto investors may end with a profit, that profit will come at the expense of the vast majority of the unlucky ones, who will lose more than their fair share of the general loss. >>
7. Right now, those who are buying bitcoins are donating ~15 million USD each day to the miners; and that money will never come back to them. >>
8. Bitcoin investors alone have already lost 5-10 BILLION USD to the miners. Those suckers who day-trade cryptocurrencies may have lost even more to exchange operators. >>
