to properly capitalize and exploit the lonely cryptobro market it probably needs to be anime waifus and there was at least one nft project that actually did it but not many

there's all sorts of dumb media that survives only because of this

maybe branding has just worked too well on me but I thought it was just a reference to like the iphone thing of just having poo poo show up on your device, which I assume is itself a pun on supply drop kinda stuff along with the "air" branding

"What Is a Cryptocurrency Airdrop? An airdrop, in the cryptocurrency business, is a marketing stunt that involves sending coins or tokens to wallet addresses in order to promote awareness of a new virtual currency."

And of course you can use airdrops to scam others out of their wallets, because buttcoin.

So what is the coiner's response to the fact that the average crypto investor is mathematically guaranteed to lose money when "investing" in crypto? That it's just like gold? That's just the game? Are they just ignorant of this fact?

it is an universal constant that those who understand nothing about anything are always the loudest about how their stupid idea will solve all the world's problems, without understanding the world's problems or how their own idea is supposed to work.

this is a better avatar than what I had before
I've met two crypto people in tech; one was a true rise and grind machine who worked in sales and saw it as a get rich quick investment; he bought into a bunch of coins just before the first huge boom when Bitcoin went to 30k and then paid off his house. He wasnt a true believer at all and afaik only ever talked poo poo about how dumb the whole thing is.

The other one was an evangelist and got fired (and sent to jail) for doing something incredibly stupid related to crypto at work that I shan't repeat for fear of doxxing myself.

Interesting point of view - I'm not sure I completely agree, but I guess they're a bit similar to the kind of gambling addict who thinks he's got some kind of special system to beat the house?

Gambling addicts do not make money by convincing you to put your money into the casino, so, no, they're worse than gambling addicts.

This is a very important distinction. Gambling is one thing. Purposefully misleading others so you make money is quite another thing.

I feel no remorse for most of these people.
