Buying the top

The average college student has less than four months of cryptocurrency investing experience, which means that they likely bought the top.          
 
Nearly 60 percent of them have actually lost money with crypto. The average loss is 740,000 won ($659).      

Most students invest in crypto with money from their part-time jobs, while some of them are taking funds from their parents.
