Those that forget history are doomed to repeat it, we are headed toward another significant depression only this time wars aren't so profitable as nukes mean you can't take the juicy targets.

Realistically we could pump a small coin ourselves if everyone was willing to put in a little.

OP you're convinced that most of those who do this manage to get away with it, so let me introduce you to this concept called "survivorship bias":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias

Basically, you spend a lot of time exposing yourself to success stories and never read of any failures, so your mind registers that as "all success and no failures" because that's all you see.
Too bad, this is not an accurate way of estimating the failure/success ratio of something, since you have no data regarding those who actually failed, because they're not online telling you about it (either because they're in jail/prison or because after getting caught they stay away from related Internet forums).

It's like successful people telling you "risking everything for a shot at success works! That's what I did and now I'm successful!", ignoring the 99% that failed but nobody hears about.

Be careful OP, and with something like this being 100% sure isn't enough.
You need objective mathematical certainty, because the moment you rely on your opinion (like when you say "most people I see on these forums make tons of money") you open yourself to the risk of being wrong, and as a consequence, of failing (which in your case means that your life as you know it is going to end).
