Jay-Z hawking Bitcoin is so embarrassing

That's not how investing works. You don't put your life savings in. You put in what you can afford and no that does not have to be large sums of money.

When Covid hit Ethereum was down to $90. You're telling me no one in Marcy Projects could afford that? Kids will spend $200 on sneakers. If they bought 2 Ethereum instead in March of 2020 they would have made nearly $10,000 by November 2021 off of an $180 investment.

There's life changing amounts of money being made off cryptocurrency and we should not be lagging behind. We need to learn how to participate in emerging markets.

These nikkas dumb bro lol mad short sighted

Funny shyt is the hood put me on to Bitcoin in like 2014. Some Arab delis started having the Bitcoin ATM’s and scammers/street nikkas was washing money and investing early before it blew up.

They’re not investing. They’re making leveraged Whale sized nano-second trades to shore up their margins. They’re not investing in the same why they do for a new tech company

right

Bruh why you posting tweets from a faq Hispanic looking dude who used the N word in the tweet

Say what you want about crypto, but that shyt is a testament of how little trust there is in FIAT currency and the world banks. The US dollar is literal funny money, it is backed by two things, America's political and military might. Even the petrodollar is being challenged, the Chinese are about to be buying Saudi oil in Yuan and the Russians are only accepting the ruble for their oil and gas.

What's gonna happen when the american dollar inevitably collapses?

Salute to Jay for doing what he believes is right for his people!

Digital Currency isn’t going anywhere and will be the future. Bitcoin and Crypto are the vehicles that started the wave. You can call it a Ponzi scheme but in 20 years, future money and transactions will look more like Crypto than the traditional systems we use today.

Better to understand and get educated on it now than playing catch up when systems become more standard. Invest what you can afford to lose just like any investment and I would think Jay and his folks would highlight the fact at the top.

It’s like folks using horse as the main mode of transportation when the Model T first dropped. They couldn’t understand and thought it would never last….

We've hat digital currency since we left the gold standard.

this other shyt is just a scam

Jay-Z has proven himself willing to shill and tap dance for anything which is why they always make him the face of a product meant to steal from black people.

A person living in the projects doesn’t need to be taking classes on crypto when they can be taking classes on something more stable and less investment heavy such as a trade.

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

I'm so sick of the celebrity crypto pump and dump scheme. that shyt needs to be regulated like yesterday. it's ridiculous

Facts. This is the equivalent of credit card companies setting up tables on college campuses. It’s predatory

[Ohene]

And this is exactly why the feds want him more than El Chapo.

lol you be watching math hoffa

I think the financial literalcy part is dope.

I wouldnt "invest" in cryptocurrency though.

Oil stocks and tech stocks are REAL investments.

They won’t be teaching them about any of those REAL investments.

 

[Gloxina]

Everything

This only helps Jack Dorsey who needs people buying bitcoin because he’s betting on it heavy with Square

MESSAGE!

They’re creating their own damn retail traders and getting the first crack at them by having them use CashApp for these Bitcoin/crypto purchases.

Just fukking WOW!!

A whole new set of retail traders entering the market through this program, and the program founder has his own app that they can use. How convenient.

 

[seymour cake]

I for sure thought this was an obvious camel thread

Happy that it extends beyond crypto and that they are offering real assistance. But I have seen enough of these financial literacy hustles that I would suggest we all remain dubious until proven otherwise.

Typical financial literacy hustle goes as such:

• Bank/Corporation holds a speaker session.
• They bring in black 'speaker/entrepreneur/expert' to provide a black face
• Corporation pays for food/trinkets/classes etc, in return they get:
  • Marketing to get these folk to open an account, a credit card, a loan, or maybe a bitcoin account in this case
  • Goodwill that they will put in their brochures and 10K's about how they are community focused
• Black speaker receives:
  • $$$
  • Free marketing to allow them continue on their 'speaker' tour

Rinse and repeat.

In the end, nothing really improves in the community because the opportunities (e.g. the topline) remain stagnant or nonexistent

Exactly.

I’d rather see him do something like LeBron has with his school and the partnership with the local university.
