It's not even that. There are less options. Ethereum isn't a mature financial ecosystem where there are any safe investments or low risk choices. It's all risky! The people involved are involved because they took the risk. The people who made the most money took the most risk. So how can you be shocked if there is more risk taking when risk taking is the only thing offered by Ethereum?
Even Digix is risky.
Yep, true enough, It's all a big risk, however there are somewhat calculated risks and there is wild, pull-out-of-your-ass-and-throw-darts risks. This feels like the latter.
Yes I agree and I try to avoid the obvious scams and bad decisions. The truth is even smart decisions can end up with bad consequences because you cannot predict the moves of the regulators, or the bad actors.
