I first came across the sentence love is a fickle creature watching Young Dylan which is actually a comedy series.
This is a comedy about a kind of love you're familiar with but not the one you're currently thinking about.

I can see the wheels practically turning in your brains as you begin to imagine all the types of love you've heard about, even the ones that have been in your imagination. Don't worry and keep calm, let your imagination come down back to earth because I'm only talking about the love of money.

Ahhh i see you smiling as you realize all your imaginations were nowhere close to the answer. Money might be the root of the evil tree but I'm sure none of us would say no to a get rich opportunity if it presented itself.

One thing that cannot easily be separated with the crypto world is the idea that if you want a get rich investment, then crypto is the way to go. In hindsight there's some truth because of market volatility but many have lost their money with this mindset.

You probably have that friend who you've trying to convince to invest in crypto. One morning you wake up and find hive has pumped about 50% overnight. You go to your social media and start posting, giving subtle shades to those who've been championing the crypto is scam campaign.

There's that one friend is the leader of this campaign and no matter how you tried to convince him in the past, he won't change his stance.
This CEO of CIS (crypto is a scam) group of companies is suddenly interested in investing, but he obviously can't come to you because you will literally roast him.

So our CEO doesn't consult you for advice. He understands from previous discussions that you usually buy a coin cheap, then hold till it pumps and finally sell.
Armed with this information he goes ahead and invests in coin ZZZ without knowledge of the coin. After all he only has to hodl and later make his profit.

Two days later, the latest CEO is in a dilemma. His latest investment has been slowly dropping in price, panick sets in as he eventually sells at a loss but not too much loss. He still can't come to you obviously.

Thinking it was just a coincidence that the first investment failed. He begins to research for a miracle coin that'll pump ×100 in a few days. CEO finally finds one new coin and invests all in it determined to hold regardless of the outcome. After all there's no pain without gain.

One week later the bear hits and our new coin has dropped by 95%. Our CEO doesn't know what to do, so in anger he sells it off again and swears never to invest in cryptocurrencies.

Meanwhile you're in your house still holding your hive and looking for ways to accumulate more as prices have dropped. Unknown to you that the market has just taken your friend on an emotional rollercoaster.

Perhaps your friend is really the fickle creature
