Pogs also taught children about theft and scams, heck, maybe even fighting, but it was the cool kind of learning where you experienced it in real life instead of just saying things on twitter. Losing all your virtual jpeg pogs by clicking a phishing hyperlink just doesn't teach the same lessons.

The Terra denial is getting even more bizarre now. They renamed Terra to Terra Classic and created a new Terra now, but holders of the old one think Classic (which is a whopping $0.0001461 at the moment) is going to the moon any day now. People in the coinmarketcap.com comment section for it are absolutely convinced their $1000 purchase is going to be worth millions of dollars in just a few days.

The hilarious thing is that even if they got super loving lucky and something crazy happened to make it pop for a bit, they'd all crow about being paper millionaires and not unload anything until it crashed again because hey my $1k investment turned into $1 million CLEARLY if I just keep holding this bag I'll be a billionaire soon.

Do they think money just bubbles up out of the ether From what I can see, the plan is to burn all the "excess" tokens that were generated by the death spiral, and then when there's less supply the value is going to go up 1000x somehow? So apparently they believe thousands of new buyers (or possibly just Elon Musk) are suddenly going to appear to buy their still worthless crap.

There Bias Two posted:There's an entire American mythology structured around the idea of accessible upward mobility if you just work hard enough. Bad things will happen only if you aren't working hard enough, so you probably deserve them when misfortune strikes. It’s called the Just World fallacy and it powers a lot of social and religious beliefs. The idea that virtue is rewarded and vice is punished so people who have succeeded in life must be good and people who get poo poo on must be bad. The world is random and uncaring and there’s no guarantee of reward or punishment. You have to accept this or you’ll get scammed by bad actors looking to take advantage of you.

Hasturtium posted:In a normal grift there’s frequently an enticement like a watch to encourage you to hand over a big wad of cash, as a sort of assurance that this is a legitimate investment and this first show of good faith - a watch costing a small fraction of what’s been handed over - will only lead to good things. This is frequently bullshit and the person giving the money is lucky to even have that when the scam is over. But this is attempting to entice people not with a watch, but with a unique hyperlink to a JPEG of a render of a watch. The desperation is surreal. And the rendered watch, along with all the other art, just looks cheap and bad. Actually reminds me of star citizen, with scammers needing to insist that selling their jpegs is definitely a “REAL business creating REAL value”, lol

It is a lame and pathetic bandwagoning of a popular thing. Crypto bros are devoid of creativity or originality. Ape projects are the Asylum movies of crypto. They are hoping you will only see Ape! and be tricked into buying thier off brand chimps.
