They literarily say in board threads, "this is not one of those BAD Ponzi schemes. It's one of the good Ponzi schemes. You just have to get in and out early and you can make a killing". And everyone is all surprised when NO ONE makes a killing except for the guy who set it up. When I used to follow the Buttcoin thread, there'd be a link to one those threads with frightening regularity.

The entire cryptocurrency community seems to consist of people who are absolutely desperate to give their money to scam after scam. I am certain I could have stolen a couple million, by now. There's this woman at work who's super into cryptocurrency and has seemingly made it her life's work to try and get everyone else in the office on board. I've tried warning people when I can, but it looks like the craze is taking hold just the same. On an unrelated note, I'm going to be asking soon whether I can work remotely.

There was a pyramid scheme called "pyramid scheme" and the creator announced that it was a pyramid scheme, and people still bought in. The participants all figured they were clever for getting in early, but most of them were not and did not.

Most of the people getting railed are just schlubs. There's definitely scammer-on-scammer crime, too, but the field is pretty wide open, and they don't really have to butt heads to squeeze "money" out of the community.

It doesn't help that the value of these things seems to inexplicably keep trending upward.

That guy probably sucks but that's ballsy as gently caress No probably about it. quote:In this respect, his behaviour resembles that of neighbouring Thailand’s military bosses who, having seized power in a coup in 2014, ostensibly because democracy was not working, have grown adept at finding ways of clinging to arbitrary power. General Prayuth Chan-o-cha, the coup’s leader, who styles himself as prime minister, promised reconciliation and an abundance of happiness for the Thai people.

Zesty posted:What's the difference between a cryptocurrency and funbucks? You can use physical funbucks as washers, spacers, beer mats, tissue paper or as kindling. Cryptocurrencies in their current forms are more or less digital company scrips. With the company issuing them usually being a scam/insolvent/criminal front/whatever. The blockchain technology itself has also other uses, but the cryptocurrencies are all that.

I think the reason is apparent in that last post, that being that at some point before he started hating them, he tried to get some Dots but there was no vanilla to be had, and of course a guy like Spicer would have vanilla for his favorite flavor, and instead of just shrugging his shoulders and saying 'Oh well', he took it as a personal affront and from that point on it was grudge city.

He actually really likes Dippin' Dots, but thinks that its claim of being the "Ice Cream of the Future" is haughty, and that goes against his sensibilities.
