The Bitcoin and altcoin billionaire warned listeners about the high volatility of the crypto industry. Mike Novogratz said that it is not normal to get more than 200x returns on crypto investments. Famous billionaire Novogratz expressed the following in his speech:
I had friends who bought a lot of cryptocurrencies. However, this changed their lives. These were the guys who didn’t make a lot of money but suddenly had a net worth of $5 million in crypto. I shook them and made them look me in the eye. I said, ‘You have to sell half or two-thirds of it, it’s not normal for you to make 200 times that.
The founder of Galaxy Digital says greed often gets in the way of rational thinking. In this context, he advises to be more cautious, saying that “not everyone is created to be an investor”.
