Albania had a civil war over Ponzi schemes collapsing. I wonder what Bitcoin is going to do.

I came here to chew bubblegum and quote 'They Live', and I'm... at an impasse.
Was trying to discuss bitcoin with a regulator recently, and he keep trying to come up with metaphors like “imagine bitcoins are tokens of Chuck E. Cheese“ and we kept having to go backwards because there is no currency less useful then online points.

Just to be clear, that pension fund invested in the company, not the crypto.

Basically they wanted to be on the scammer side, not the scammed side.

Still bad obviously

Not to nitpick, but Albania was in the process of ditching a Stalinist government when that happened, and the economy was basically nothing but ponzi schemes at that point.

It’s not a bank run, it’s just that the bank doesn’t have enough money for all the people trying to withdraw their money

Obviously you're going to have to deposit more money if you want to have a chance of getting any of your money out of the bank.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Indeed.

On a similar note I just saw a /r/wallstreetbets post with a headline that said “There’s going to be a global food shortage. Here’s how you can make money from it”. Lovely.

“Dad, how did you become successful?”
“Well, son, when most of the world was struggling to put food on the table, relying on food banks, and choosing whether to heat their homes, fill up their car, or eat - your father saw an opportunity.”

Isn't that cute, the minnows want to be profiteers just like the whales.

Which robo do you use? I use Wealthfront and while they do see to dabble in crypto as far as I can tell none of the funds my money is in are there. All I have there is a rollover IRA though.

I'm in Canada and was with Wealthsimple and they were trumpeting their addition of crypto buying and selling and I just got nervous that their funds might contain it. Also I got a proper financial adviser now so just moved everything over.

It was probably going to be fine but their whole boisterous "now you can buy CRYPTO!" blasting me with emails really soured me on them.

Ohh yeah, we are lucky crypto didn’t get that large. But plenty of people are going to be poorer for this, some of them are going to be really angry, and the US has a lot of guns. That is a good recipe for problems.

Most of the mainstream news articles I’ve read today have titles such as “X exchange halts trading as Bitcoin drops below Y”. The info is out there.

I think its expected. I mean, what's even the angle? Completely unregulated scam market keeps on scamming idiots? News might as well talk about Nigerian prince scams at th that point.

Like a part of a human interest story is It Could Happen to Youuuuu. Talking about investments that no one understands and a minute fraction of viewers are bought into is not a ratings getter.
