I was there 3000 years ago during the initial kickstarter and got taken in by the grift for the $5 starter ship.

That’s part of the scam I suppose, makes it a lot easier to con someone into dropping money into this shit if there were folks who made money with it some time in the past.

Bitcoin wasn’t a scam, it was created by an actual ideologically driven AnCap and for years the main bitcoin peddlers were people who genuinely believed in it as the currency of the future. It wasn’t until Ethereum that the floodgates opened and it became scams all the way down.

Bitcoin is still inefficient and will never replace centralized currency, but I think it was created by someone who genuinely thought it would be a good thing for the world. It wasn’t, of course, because AnCap beliefs are simply wrong, but I do think it was supposed to be a sincere effort.

Even investing in a Ponzi scheme can be profitable if you exit at the right time

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
