I often wonder "how long do bubbles take to burst," and the answer ALWAYS seems to be "just a few months past when I get exhausted by waiting and stop giving a shit."

I feel a lot of conflicted emotions over the whole "regular people are getting screwed" "but a lot of them are those assholes" thing.

I just talked a friend out of investing in a "defi" crypto-lending thing she sent me info about. I was like "can you explain to me what this actually is or how it works?" and she couldn't, so I said to please not invest in something she couldn't understand. And this was an educated person who actually understands investments pretty well, so I guess anyone can be vulnerable to it.

So far, there are no indications that Mr. Bukele plans to change course. On Monday, he said on Twitter that El Salvador bought 500 bitcoin at an average price of $30,744. “El Salvador just bought the dip!” he added. Bitcoin traded at $29,745 on Friday.

I would love to see these cyrpto fucks put through the ringer courtesy of an old SDNY judge with an aol email address and the FRCP. And if it's bankruptcy, the trustee would be able to claw those transactions back, no?

The Washington Post personal finance columnist wrote an article listing the similarities between recent cryptocurrency offerings and classic Ponzi/pyramid schemes.
The web service that feeds advertising to washingtonpost.com inserted ads for Unicoin, "A new-generation cryptocurrency."

where does this end up, fundamentally crypto should be worth nothing or just pennies because it has no utility outside black market transactions which dont require it to be worth more than pennies, but there are people who own a lot of crypto who are willing to pump it in order to dump it, however you do need suckers to dump it on, so crytpo will go to ~0 once all the suckers are used up, when will all the suckers be used up, i guess once crypto is universally seen as a scam, not sure how close to that we are, maybe pretty close idk kinda depends on if the pumpers can stabilize and reinflate the market soon, if it just keeps going down losing 95% of its value and so forth kinda think its over
