It's not as if crypto has a particularly good reputation or the scammy nature of crypto is a secret. I wonder if your former friend has the same kind of personality that just as well would have deluded themselves into thinking they have some amazing insights into horse racing or sports. Without crypto, would they have found some other way to gamble away their future?

I would not be surprised. The arrogance and self-righteousness in his character had gotten pretty out of control.
