By the way:

Crypto and NFTs will serve their purpose in the future.

We naysayers are specifically saying that right now there is a speculation bubble that will pop. Cause all of them pop.

After this flurry is over we will see what parts crypto and NFTs play in society.

If you end up making some dough now then great. But be agile. Stick and move and take any winnings and bail.

Just like slot machines. If you hit, go home. Don't keep putting your winnings back into the machine. Cause eventually you'll give it all back and then some

Key Points
  • Scammers around the world took home a record $14 billion in cryptocurrency in 2021, thanks in large part to the rise of DeFi.
  • Losses from crypto-related crime rose 79% from 2020.
  • Cryptocurrency theft increased 516% from 2020, to $3.2 billion worth of cryptocurrency. Of this total, 72% of stolen funds were taken from DeFi protocols.

all these alt/shyt coins are totally unregulated by the SEC, so you got the likes of every celebrity running their own pump and dump while the average dummy was biting on it hook line and sinker.

look at this. fukking celebrities blatantly doing pump and dumps. its disgusting their level of greed.


Yup, goes to show you people like Kim and Mayweather are most likely not worth as much as people think.

NBA players making real money aren't involved in any of these schemes and scams.. I wonder why :mjpls:
