What's the point of walking off with all the monopoly money? Its not like they can just convert it to cash or something, only trade it for different monopoly money.

Or drugs I guess? And sell those? But that just seems like so many unnecessary extra steps

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

Depends entirely on how difficult it is for a burly dude in a cheap suit to grab you and drag you out of the public's eye. Best case? They ban you from the internet casino and tell all the other ones they do business with. Worst case? Broken hands and a concussion. They find out without you telling them what's up? Lots of empty desert to fertilize. Be a shame you had to help by digging a hole with those broken hands.

In an exit scam you use the preceding weeks before the exit to quietly find idiot bagholders who will give you monopoly money in exchange for your monopoly money

So when you exit you have a different kind of monopoly money, allowing you to be the bagholder for someone else's exit scam

I really should post about his setup and crypto philosophy here because all the stereotypes of crypto people are there. It’s expensive, but he’s using his computers from his dad’s business. Also, I think his father or trust fund is paying his utility bills for his “job.”

I think this is an underrated aspect of ~blockchain~/bitcoin mining. It's an easy way for someone to take a bunch of money from their parents or a previous venture, run a "business" and pretend to be a captain of industry, and not lose very much money (because after capital expenditures you just have electricity as a cost), whereas classic failson business ventures often lose lots of money.

I read that as "Volkscoin" and imagined a last ditch effort by the Nazi government in early 1945 to create a cryptocurrency which was planned to completely revive the economy and turn the war around, and which surprisingly failed

That's actually why the nazis lost the 2nd world war. Also, did anybody else notice that ever since the bombs fell over Japan, nobody has seen Satoshi speak in public? Coincidence? I think not!
