      No, there is that, but this is not all that organized. It’s easy to say ha ha, boomers dumb, but it’s wild to think of how crypto schemes have shifted potentially billions of imaginary wealth into the real pockets of randos

    I’m not surprised.

    Have you seen the scammers on other social media platforms? MLM schemes, love scams, charging a fuck-to of money to teach people how to write entry letters to casino sweepstakes for “free” online casino coins.

    I can only imagine what a place that starts with gathering together people that view life as a zero-sum game develops for scamming and ripping people off.
