    That’s the last time I invest in an opportunity championed by someone who’s only claim to fame is their explanation of how to properly suck a dick.

    Every time a notable/famous person or “influencer” or whatever talks about a crypto coin, it is a pump and dump. Shes just doing what all the other scumbag influencers are doing.

    For years now crypto has just been another tool to extract wealth from the lower class.

    It’s an unregulated security. It’s illegal to pump and dump Netflix stock, but not StoopidCoin. No laws were broken. And it’s only going more 1929 from here…

      definitely. despite her bad actions i do feel bad for the misogyny she experiences. especially the whole getting pressured to make an OF stuff. i hope it doesn’t get to her and she can grow past the bad shit and have a fulfilling life

      Only if the money dries up.

      Edit: I feel I should clarify. If I could make a living doing very little and being called a ___ girl. I’d take it too. And I’m a cis male.

        Yeah i’d take being called a something “boy” if that brand made me money.

        In fact i’m being called “boy” more time than i can count due to my short stature and i’m not even making much dough.

          Relevant user name, but sorry dude, that’s bullshit.

          People used to call me big guy when I was younger and it also annoyed me (felt like they were talking to me like a little kid). I hope it gets better as you get older, it did for me.

            I’m in my mid 30s and yeah, it annoyed the hell out of me when people younger(but bigger in size) call me that. But at this point i’m just shrug it off.

            But then again i have people thinking i’m a lady on the phone. That one not gonna go away anytime soon lol.

    I guess the podcast thing wasn’t going well and this is the attempt to cash out on the last few seconds of her 5 minutes of fame?

      so my understanding is actually that she’s more of an exploited middleman/useful idiot in this situation

      from her videos its obvious that a) she has a pretty big management team backing her and b) she actually has no clue what she is talking about with crypto

      from this i conclude (could be wrong but my best guess given what i have seen) that it’s actually her team that’s cashing out on her by approving and aiding whatever crypto devs approached her with this move. she’ll probably make a good profit of course, but it strikes me as her PR team intentionally kneecapping her on the way out.

          Crypto bros don’t fall for those obvious scam , but they fall for other more complex scam like Luna . That’s just normal peoples getting robbed by influencer

          not true. disturbed by the upvotes at this misconception—crypto bros are the scammers, she marketed to fans who had never touched blockchain before as a fresh market of exploitable cash.

        It’s definitely not legal, it’s more a matter of ‘if’ the SEC gets involved than ‘can’ the SEC get involved.

        She made a million+ in fees and facilitated a presale of multiple millions in validation, it definitely contributed to rich getting richer activities.

    I see bit-coiners as people that suddenly decide that the limited can-ashtrays done by a particular homeless that they hoarded now have an astronomical value and you must recognise it and accept the value they represent to them… regardless of the arguments about “printing money is the same”, why should I accept an unilaterally self-proclaimed wealth system value done by some dudes with even no ties to my representative government? If you want me to recognise the value of an invented block chain system begin by distribute all its value equally among all the human beings in the world, then I may start to consider it.
