Crypto currencies are just a giant poncy scheme

Missed the boat

Cryptocurrency: not really crypto, not really currency,

Shouldn’t“cryptocurrency” really be called “kleptocurrency” ?

Meh. That’s fairly easy. Get in early, when the price is cheap and make sure you sell off all of your holdings before the founder and their friends cause the market to crash when they sell off all of theirs at the same time. The longer you wait, the more money you make. But the longer you wait, greater your risk of getting shafted.

Is Elon at it again?

Electronic currencies hyped by grifters, assorted criminals, tin-hat paranoids, “trendies” who jump into any “latest thing,” and the government of El Salvador. Yeah, that’s the pot I’ll throw my life savings into.

The cryptic crypto and other fiduciary lunacies… This century is already off to a corking start.

Cryptocurrency? Would you like to buy a NFT tulip bulb? It’s vaporware. When the music stops, we all get to see who’s the biggest fool.

Well, isn’t that a coincidence. In the five seconds since you paid me, some North Koreans just stole your Bitcoins.

“They give you cash, which is just as good as money!”

He will show you how HE gets rich. [It won’t (necessarily) work for you.]

Now we know why Hollywood types are paid to encourage us to get into cryto

Called crypto currency because it’s like burying your money in a crypt. You’ll never see it again in this life.

Most Folks are beginning to see that throwing your hard currency into a virtual only makes the guys handling the transaction wealthy. Once completed you only have an empty digital wallet full of virtual cash with no REALVALUE when rhe bubble breaks,

What’s really worrisome, is that my representative in the federal government, a man I’ve supported through several elections, is claiming crypto currency will stop inflation.

The thing I like about crypto is crooks are more busy stealing fake money than real money.

I recently saw a poll that asked crypto investors how low they thought Bitcoin would go. About 25% said zero.

Well, it sold some computers, so that stock is doing well. I wonder how long before people realize the U.S. currency is printed on paper and the govt. isn’t doing much to control inflation?

A whole lot of something can never be infinite. A finite number of nodes each with a finite number of links is a finite group.

The bears have got to be lurking around behind him somewhere.

If you bought $64,000 worth of Bitcoin in November 2021, it would be worth $19,000 today.

If you invested $100,000 in Truth Social when it first opened up, it would be worth $25,000 today. Due to litigation, technical issues and poor employee morale, it is still losing value.

Some investments aren’t worth it.

Grammar nerds? Nobody?

Cashless and trackable currency will cause an underground economy to develop. Can barter be far behind? Don’t you just LOVE “Progressive” economics?

No one has commented on how subtle Wiley’s cartoon is. The guy will teach the sucker about cryptocurrency for real money but credit cards are accepted for payment. Sheer genius, Wiley! That got a real LOL from me.

Confidence schemes are now offically games for fools!

Its better to invest in actual crypts

Some never learn…

Just have your crayons ready. :)

Every one knows you cant trust crypto. NFT are the way to really make money these days

1) I only believe in physical currency.2) Shown

There’s a sucker born every minute…

The marketing of cryptocurrency seems to have a Möbius loop to it.

A fool and his money are soon parted! A sucker born every minute.

Might I interest you in some Tulip bulbs?

People who sell get-rich-quick books get rich selling books.

I have 1 million in crypto right here in my pocket. I said it so it exists!

One of my favorite lessons I learned in history class. The teacher pointed out that most people who went west to strike it rich in the gold rush went broke — but the people selling the shovels, pans, tents, etc., THEY did very well!

I hear BarnumCoin is the latest thing. :-)

Yep. It’s just like those old Magazine Ads offering to tell you “How To Make Money by Advertising in Magazines.”

One caveat: If someone Does respond to your Ad by sending you a dollar, you Have to return something of “Value” to them or it’s a Federal Mail Fraud rap. So, be prepared to go past the local 7th Day Adventist church and ask for a bunch of copies of “The Watchtower”. Slap an Address on them and mail them off and you are covered. Or, maybe just a bunch of Jesus Pamphlets … Whatever they are giving away Free.

The Law says you have to return Something of Value, but it doesn’t specify a minimum value.
