Surely this time it won't crash and burn right?

[–] SwingingKoala@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it always crashes. So what, then I'm only up 10000%, not 20000%.

Haha, you guys really live in an alternative universe, don't you?

He was in early on the pyramid so he's just got to keep selling it as if all the next people are gonna be super rich so that the pyramid scheme keeps going.

I mean I get it. It was super successful and made so much fucking money for whales and people who did Tupperware parties real early but they are so committed to the idea now.

Who knew you could get a bunch of men to happily sell MLM products though as long as you used a bunch of tech jargon and made it seem like you are smart for getting it. I mean I guess anyone that knows men right?

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

That is all what the shilling is for, really.

They only make money if they can find bigger fools to buy into their pyramid scheme. So they will use anything to try and convince people. Even if it means to lie and cheat.

I understood why bitcoin is valuable in 2013 and I know that it is still massively undervalued, people like you are the clear proof.

Who knew you could get a bunch of men

Lol, of course somebody like you is also a sexist.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is it sexist because you aren't a male shilling this and wrongly assumed your gender based on the stereotype or are you just pretending it's sexist so you don't get hurt by the realization that this really is just the MLM for the male gender who makes up a grand majority of the base?

And sure you consider it undervalued because people still aren't in the pyramid scheme so it can go up if only wasn't for all the pesky people agreeing this is a scheme that's gonna burst and not wanting in.

A pyramid scheme only gains value if you can lure in more people. Bitcoin gains value even if the number of people is constant because the measuring stick you use, the USD, constantly shrinks through inflation. Happy to clear that up.

Not sure which point you're trying to make.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The point I am trying to make is fully explained on this website:

Yeah, you don’t even understand that Bitcoin isn’t web3.
