Lol did they even say what "good for the community" even means? I'm assuming its "everyone else sacrifices so I can get rich."

It's doubly funny because, as I understand it, most of the people who aren't outright grifters that get into crypto poo poo are libertarians, and their entire worldview can crudely be summed up as "got mine, gently caress you." What the hell else did they expect?

To be fair on these morons libertarianism is actually their advertised viewpoint: given a complete lack of oversight, humans will act with rational self interest to create a utopia. You don’t usually see much libertarianism in people who know anything about finance because the entire stock market works because almost every actor in the market acts emotionally and irrationally. The position you describe is what psychologists call the Dark Tetrad (Machiavellianism, subclinical narcissism, subclinical psychopathy, and subclinical sadism), which this recent paper strongly connects with motivations for buying cryptocurrencies and other stupid risky investments.

This makes a lot of sense because most of the cryptobros early on were not "I'm going to make money and buy a lambo," but rather "I'm going to be a prince, gently caress all the Gwen Staceys, and make Chad beg for food with the dog." It's like, if I make a sale for a good profit on eBay, I'm happy I have beer and cigar money---I'm not hoping that the buyer grovels and swirlies himself or that I could trade satoshi's for degrading sex with that girl that laughed at me in eighth grade (Hi, Michelle!).

Heard about this on NPR and was disgusted enough to share it here. https://www.vox.com/the-goods/23020971/crypto-kids-nfts-web3-education-summer-camp Summer camps designed to teach children the wonders of bitcoin and cryptocurrency in order to hook them young. They say its necessary because financial education in public schools is garbage. It is but this isn't the answer.

limp_cheese posted:Heard about this on NPR and was disgusted enough to share it here. I'm dying from laughter quote:Nate, a teacher in Virginia who asked not to include his last name for concerns over future employment, says that over the last two years, he’s watched his high school students develop major interest in crypto, stock trading, and sports gambling. During study hall, he’d glance at their screens — all of them boys — and see the temperamental fluctuations of the Robinhood line graph or the FanDuel home page. He’s heard one story from a fellow teacher about a ninth grader at another school who made a bet on a college football game and won $500,000, then had to pretend that his father had actually made the bet. Just the thought of a high school kid suddenly talking about Elon Musk all the time in class, and the teacher nods his head sagely and thinks to himself "guess this kid's into crypto now", it's killing me As an extra bonus laugh, the article doesn't mention this, but the founder of Crypto Kids Camp also runs a paid crypto advice site called the Virtual Underground Railroad. Even though her name is Najah Roberts, she's started using the nickname "Young Harriet" - because by teaching people about crypto, she's freeing them from slavery, exactly like Harriet Tubman did.

You just can't help but wonder if the fish really aren't seeing the sharks they're swimming with or if it's just a pond of increasingly bigger sharks trying to eat each other and whatever else falls in. edit: I'm sorry, but how has this not been posted: https://twitter.com/web3isgreat/status/1514751707443609602?s=20&t=OdCB7UtxCGq4iKH7EH1xKg

Uh, yeah, that's how fish work. It is one of the things you have to watch out for when setting up a community aquarium. Most fish will happily eat any other fish small enough to fit in their mouths. Even their own children. Fish are the libertarians of the animal world.

The fish all think they're sharks. I get the sense that "rational self-interest" doesn't mean what they think it means.

the monero thing confuses me because if you genuinely think that exchanges don't have the currency, wouldn't the best move be to attempt a withdrawl asap? if you wait until after the ~bank run~ then aren't you now risking paper monero(tm) being real and everyone else getting out before you did i don't understand buttcoin

No, only a not true believer would do that. True believers know that they promised to have the money, so they have the money. Otherwise that promise...would be a LIE! And not just any lie, a lie on the internet. The worst kind.
