Cryptocurrencies (though they are not currencies) are just digital tulip mania (original Tulip Mania was 1636/37), speculative bubbles that burst hard. Yeah, some will get very rich, but a lot of people will loose a lot of money.

It's always been that way with "greater fool theory" approach to investment - once there's no new investors to sustain the bubble it collapses on itself.
