Yup. My Dad always says "Bears make money. Bulls make money. Pigs go broke."
I don't mind if folks invest in bitcoin or in pork bellies or in beanie babies - as long as if/when the bottom drops out, they don't ask the rest of us taxpayers to bail them out in some way or another. (I believe very strongly in the idea that "If I gamble and win, I get to keep it. If I gamble and lose, I've got to 'man up' and get a second job." )
Edit: When I got hit with the Cryptolocker virus a couple years ago, they wanted payment in bitcoin. Was the first I'd heard of it myself.
