Crypto feels like a 21st-century gold rush to the uneducated

Everybody trying to find the right land (crypto) to start to mine (DCA, miners, staking) on. Some people FOMO trying to get to the right land, only to find no gold at all. Sometimes they're told about other people getting gold somewhere, and when they get there, it is all gone. Sometimes people wind up on gold without even knowing it just by staying put for a long time, plugging away in the same space.
