punishedkissinger posted:it's not dumb to be upset by this. it's naked greed and nothing more. it sucks to see people buying into a pyramid scheme which will greatly exacerbate global warming and leave a shitload of people with nothing. anyone knowingly participating in that is a huge piece of poo poo unfortunately. It'd be one thing if these dickheads would be using solar energy or some sort of renewables to generate their crypto crap (albeit wasteful but the bar is so low for humanity I'd count it as a win), but we all know these assholes are buying the cheapest forms of energy they can meaning they're just sucking down the kWh from their local electrical provider, which is more than likely coal. So they're killing the environment for digital pogs that claim they own a picture of Sonic the Hedgehog's rancid feet while a smarter sonic sex fetishist just hits the "PRNT SCN" button and beats off to the same image for free. I swear to God, aliens/cockroaches that outlast humanity, if you manage to read this make sure to burn any remnants of humanity from the universe because we're the loving worst thing that Chaos Theory ever shat out.

Since the crypto scam is becoming more mainstream, is now a good time to get on the pyramid before all the normies and make some pretend money?

Squidcoin literally lasted three days before they hosed off with the money, and the name alone was like one of those fly-by-night smartphone games that hastily throws together a fake ad based on whatever the current hot gameplay trend is. We are like one degree from someone just making ScamCoin™ - We Are Going To Steal All Of Your Money, followed by ScamCoin 2, ScamCoin 3, etc. all launched one day after another. We are fully into cult status where people are openly scamming the true believers, who are boasting about their riches while proudly turning out their empty pockets. Getting into crypto now, gently caress me. Go blow it on the horses or something, I dunno.

a hot gujju bhabhi posted:This is definitely a dumb thing to complain about and maybe I'm an old man yelling at clouds, but I'm so loving upset about how some of my favourite content creators are slowly but surely being lured into the crypto poo poo. The one I'm most disappointed by is Phil DeFranco because he's now shilling some Bitcoin BS as he also reports on climate destruction. It just sucks. You are not an old man yelling at the clouds. Philip DeFranco is directly contributing to the financial ruin of potentially hundreds of thousands of people because they trust him. Stable coins are backed by nothing and the entire crypto space is literally a Ponzi scheme that cannot pay out what it claims it can. If cash ever becomes scarce at an exchange you’re going to see the true value of cryptocurrency: nothing.

A ponzi scheme requires new people to join in order to increase the cash pool and keep the scheme going. Crypto goes further than that, by allowing blatantly illegal behavior like cash forgery or even stuff as simple as buying your own NFTs for a highly inflated price in order to drive prices upwards and generate media buzz. It's great, really.

Haha I didn't even realise that squid scam blew up in value because people weren't allowed to resell their fake coins on. They wouldn't have been able to cash out even if they wanted to.

There was a scifi novel I read where an alien introduced a viral economic idea and it collapses the interplanetary economy. I read it before Bitcoin but it definitely resonates.

People don't care about if crypto is stupid, or how to the tech works, or if it will make the world a better place (it wont). All people care about is if the magic internet money will go up in value and make them rich.

Zopotantor posted:it won’t either yeah but as long as the number goes up fast enough and regulators don't meaningfully intervene, they'll keep putting more money into it and never really try to take any out. they'll be content to watch the numbers rise on paper, even as they cash out all their other investments to put them into crypto too so they can make the numbers rise fastest when mass-market Ponzi schemes and other such financial frauds are allowed to operate openly like this, it tends to get pretty bad because people assume it must be at least somewhat legit if authorities aren't really trying to stop it

Put a carbon tax on all things crypto, like right now. Mint an NFT? Pay the carbon tax. Buy shitcoins? Pay the carbon tax. Institute it like a sales tax at a fixed rate against dollar value. Force the musical chairs scam to do at least one semi-positive thing for society.
