Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 27, 2022

I’ll try that for my next colonoscopy.

I’d get nightmares from that.

Cryptocurrencies are a poncy scheme. Last one in holds the bag. There is zero intrinsic value. It’s only value is what the next sucker will pay

Cryptocurrency is the same as the Emperor’s New Clothes. No one understands but afraid to say anything for fear of looking stupid. Anyone who would buy into that is stupid, more so if persuaded by celebrities who promoted it.

The reason they call them “miners” is because they look at loot and think “MINE!”.

My fearless prediction: BitCoin 2027 = Tulip 1637

If an additional agent is needed, he has a spiel ready to roll on NFTs.

And he will still charge $10 000 for the privilege

Or … Count backward from “The Nine Billion Names Of God.”

Cryptocurrencies – Do you really think it wise to “invest” in monetary instruments that are promoted and utilized in the main by grifters, criminals, tin-hat paranoids, financial “trendies,” and the government of El Salvador?

I would rather invest in dutch tulip bulbs.

I heard that Cryptocurrency has its own theme song.

Works every time.

What the good doctor described is actually a blockchain. Cryptocurrency is an application of a blockchain. Blockchain is a very interesting concept and can be very useful. Cryptocurrency, however,… i have my doubts.

I thought the Public Ledger was a newspaper…….

Oh Wiley, you had me going down the garden path and then anesthesia…perfect joke and toon. Bet it gets printed and hung in lots of doctor’s offices….

And, he’s now 70% poorer than he was months ago.

I did have anesthesia a couple of weeks ago. The anesthesiologist asked if I was ready. I said yes, and he started the drip in the IV in my wrist.

I told him, “Hey I can feel it; it’s cold.” “It’s at my wrist.” “It’s at my elbow,” “It’s at my shoulder.” “It’s at my neck,” “Good night!”

Recall the old saying: “You can fool all of the people some of time; you can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time”. Unless you start talking about “Crypto Currency”, Then, everyone starts believing you.

Genius!

James 2:24

Never invest unless property or a revenue stream exists, preferably both.

As far as “Coins” are concerned… if I can’t scratch a piece of glass with it, IT DOESN’T EXIST!!

Yeah, that pretty much sums up how I feel about cryptocurrency. . .

All ready for his lethal injection.

Well, at least he used an non-invasive anesthesia so the only after effects the patient will feel when he wakes is if his bitcoin horde as been raided by the miners. His follow up treatment will be for hemorrhoids.

Never got into cryptocurrency cause I never understood it.

Ponzi Scheme ? Boy, imagine how many people want to be remembered and fail.

Along comes Charles Ponzi and he makes it into the history books and the popular jargon of civil and legal society. We should have a day just for Charlie. Ponzi Day.

On Ponzi Day everyone would try to pull a fast one on some rube.

Instructions on the bitcoin site in really fine print: avoid all investments in this strata unless you have a source of infinite and instantly renewable funs, i.e., if you ain’t Musk, you ain’t up to it.

Wear a dang mask!!!

Huh! Today we have a fine example of a comic that’s educational, yet ironic. Soooo, many words. Well done. …zzzzzzzzzz

Aaand it’s all fun and games until someone loses a billion dollars.

To me, it’s like a carpenter saying he can’t build any more houses because he has run out of inches.

will crypto currency ever become to big to fail?

Cryptocurrency is like spinning a slot machine and getting three different fruits…

Once a Ponzi time, there were three imaginary bear traders, who traded in imaginary currency……

A-A, and they remove his wallet.

(My deep throaty chuckle) Love this comic strip.

They didn’t even get to the part where the exchange owner mysteriously goes bankrupt and takes the contents of everyone’s digital wallets!

Warren Buffett stated he didn’t innvest in what he didn’t fully understand. He’s staying out of bitcoin.

You forgot the part where you lose all of your real currency.

I got a surgery set for after Xmas, I wonder if that is how I will be put out?

Cryptocurrency, one of the worst ideas to come down the pike in decades. Not only ridiculously complicated and unstable, it’s horrible for the environment. If this is how the next gens are going to treat the planet, it’s doomed for sure.

Loved it! Great punch!

Wonderful strip. Didn’t see that coming!

A great cartoon today!I know I’m way down the line here, but can’t think of anything more original than what’s already been said!

Cryptocurrency is a con artist’s dream come true – where else can you get somebody to give you a lot of money for absolutely nothing, and not be arrested

Anyone remember the cartoon comic-book host, the Old Cryptkeeper? WAAYYYY ahead of his time!

Isn’t that “pouncy” scheme?

The real con was convincing people that crypto transactions were untraceable when in reality all the info needed to track down and recover bitcoins was on that ledger all the time

And with no mask to boot.

Cryptocurrency, a crime in search of a perpetrator.

I must admit. My eyes were glazing over too.

The mouth and nose look just like how Al Jaffee draws unconscious people.

Surprised he didn’t put the Doctor or Nurses out as well.

NATHAN J. ROBINSON (Interviewer, Current Affairs Editor-in-Chief): Is it accurate to summarize what you were saying before as, essentially: There is no problem that cryptocurrency solves, and to the extent that it is functional, it does things worse than we can already do them with existing electronic payment systems. To the extent it has advantages, the advantage is doing crimes. And every other claim made for the superiority of cryptocurrency as currency falls apart if you scrutinize it.

PROFESSOR NICHOLAS WEAVER (Computer Scientist, Cryptocurrency Skeptic): Yes.

Considering what just happened with the biggest crypto thing,better wake that guy up and see if he invested.
