The one thing to realize is for every shiba or doge that explodes and gets super popular, there are 1000 other shyt coins that went nowhere or rugged.

if you want to get rich you have to get in extremely early. Once people start the “to the moon” shyt and start making TikTok videos it’s safe to assume you’re not early. You can still make money but those 10000% returns probably aren’t happening for sure

I'm getting old. I don't understand this new world. I know I'm probably wrong but it just seems like ponzi schemes on top of ponzi schemes to me.

Bitcoin came out years ago...:dahell: it's digital currency. not a ponzi scheme. everything else that followed til now varies in their uses and concepts. do some research bruh, people make paper off this... :sas2:

Yeah, it makes sense that folks are leveraging e-commerce digital marketing strategies for pump and dump campaigns.

Basically using the same influencer marketing tactics that worked for waist trainers and tummy tea, just for coins, NFTs, etc.

I may sound like an old man, but I think as inflation gets higher, wages stagnate; all this digital hustle porn will become a bigger and bigger industry, with the Bernie Madoff smoke and mirror tactics getting more sophisticated.

currently, I’m actually taking the old man approach to investing. try to max 401k contributions in stable mutual funds

I’m up 40% or so YTD
Not 3000% instant gains, but not crazy volatility either :yeshrug:

I’m talking about the shyt coins. :mjtf:

Ok so you're not picking up what I'm putting down.

It's not BTC it's (ticker:BITCOIN)
it's not BTC & ETH, it's $BITCOIN and $ETHEREUM

Inu

ummm...green text? Does that help?

You all always say you want to get in early but you need to deal with the creators if that's your aim, aka the autistic whitez. I don't want them to come over here tho:whoa:
Also it can potentially get rugged at any moment:hubie:

Why would a digital currency not be used for a ponzi scheme? And yeah some folk have made paper off of this, folk make paper off ponzi schemes too if they get out early, that doesn't mean it's not a scame.

Crypto can be a real thing with real utility, and the current value of crypto could still be primarily propped up by ponzi schemes. Those two options aren't mutually exclusive.
