When the Nonexistent Feet Tokens stumble over themselves like two left feet, the market will reset in favor of whomever owns the reserve supply of feet. Gotta stay ten steps ahead.

I'm the 5% of CryptoCanadians who only own stablecoins and don't use them. It's the perfect investment because I can still get rugpulled just like any other crypto, but I'm not at risk of ever making a profit.

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

Possibly, but insurance fraud through maming a body part "you could live without" is depressingly common. There's a town in Florida where in the 50s and 60s, most of the men in the town did it.

If you go into the survey that tweet pulls from, you find out that 10% of Canadians claim to own some sort of crypto, which is down from 13% of Canadians last year. I guess 3% of Canada had to use all their crypto to pay for the extortions, ransoms, and scams.

10% of Canadians constitute at least 95% of Canadians.

I was thinking of a way to value/price BTC for explaining to a friend. Let's say that btc has a 25% chance of going to 0 in the next 10 years. That includes regulatory risk, hacks, climate fud, satoshi returns etc.. All the bad stuff (I think 25% is too high, but a normie would agree on that.) The flipside of that is 75% chance of success. Meaning all the bad stuff goes away. So only good left and it moons. Let's price that at 1million BTC in 10 years (which I think is reasonable). Doing a standard gambling expected value calculation (.25*0 + .75*1000000), you get an expected value of 750k in 10 years. Using a net present value calculator and the 10yr bond yield (4.5%), you get a value today of ~480k. And that's with pricing a 25% chance of going to 0.

a 50% chance of failure, gives a NPV of ~320k. Y'all aint bullish enough.
