Most of the time crypto scams, stock trading and other practices target most of the times proletarians. The idea that by luck we can defeat capitalists with stocks is naive at best. With whole teams invested and with proper knowledge of the market, with a big chunk of assets to manipulate the direction of prices, and with both insider information and control of the media, they have all the tools to win, and we have almost none.
