Comment Huge Red Flag (Score 1) 1

Well, looks like there was a big push to capture the few remaining greater fools that just couldnâ(TM)t help themselves and it worked to help a few more con artists escape â¦. But now the bottom is getting ready to fall out. When the biggest name in the scam businesses starts a process to shut things down⦠thats the signals everyone should see at the biggest nail in the coffin to date. Good luck to anyone trying to get real money for their bitcoin scam holdings⦠!

The deal itself was predicated on Twitter giving honest assessments of the percentage of users that are actually bots (fake accounts). Twitter initially claimed that bots only made up around 5% of users; it would appear that Musk has discovered this to be false.

There is an old saying - âoeyou canâ(TM)t fix stupidâ - and if that saying applies anywhere, its in the world of crypto (anything).

Let the greater fools that are still left just disappear under their own attrition⦠even the âoesucker born every minuteâ isnâ(TM)t going to be enough to sustain the crypto scams.

This may be why the U.S. Govâ(TM)t doesnâ(TM)t go around calling crypto (anything) the scam it really is. They are using it to build a database of who the next greater fools are? As referenced above:

You Wrote: âoe The fact that it's sucked so much real world assets means that its collapse would have far ranging effects beyond the crypto brotherhood.â

The real world assets that were lost, were all lost by the next greater fool; not by anyone who was born with common sense. Just maybe the ending of this long running scam will wipe a large portion of the greater fool population off the map and there will be less of them to feed the next scam. That would include the financial networks and their talking heads that are still to this moment trying to use the influence of their TV assets to recruit more greater fools to fall into the clutches of the crypto (anything) scams⦠the likes of CNBC, Fox Business, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, etc⦠should all be exposed for what they really are⦠tools for corporate level con artists looking to recruit the next greater fool. This has nothing to do with canaryâ(TM)s in a mine⦠those who got suckered into crypto (anything) are getting what they deserve.

A bank buying bonds that are backed by something like their own assets or U.S. dollars has no equivalence to anything in the world of crypto scams⦠how people get into and fall for these scams is beyond my comprehension⦠its like, what do these people not see?
