What makes you sure of my motives?

I want to know how risky this is considering everyone and their grandmothers are investing their retirements [and student loans].

A general economic downturn would hit crypto harder than the real economy so you'd probably see >90% drawdowns.

A new bubble in a different area could also cause people to get bored with crypto.

Your edited question is much better and deserves a less snarky response.
Large enough solar flare might do the trick, too.
I appreciate the the response without the snark.

I was hoping for more plausible risks, like "a regulation restricting X" or "innovation in Y."
