Bubbles keep growing until they run out of suckers. Those who get out before the bubble bursts might make a lot of money. Everyone else will lose the lot. It happened with the South Sea Bubble, Tulipmania, Bernie Madoff, Onecoin and any number of other bubbles/scams.

Isaac Newton, one of the smartest men who ever lived, lost loads of money in the South Sea Bubble.
