How many times are people going to fall for this? Someone launches a new crypto and hypes it up, a bunch of random people buy into the hype, prices take a huge nose dive, repeat ad nauseam.

Because there will always be a new naive generation (aside from those severely mentally ill), a share of people will ALWAYS fall for it. Every year, new people will fall for it

So don't be surprised, be informed.

Well, these were most likely Milei's voters, so what could you expect?

[-] mountainriver@awful.systems 10 points 1 month ago

It's scamming the true believers and creates an obfuscated channel for the oligarchs to deliver the carrots / bribes. When Trump launched his memecoin and got a question he waved at the tech billionaires and said "it's peanuts for these guys". Unfortunately nobody followed up with asking if that meant those guys were the ones transferring money to Trump through the memecoin.

Yeah this is why we have regulations and consumer protection, or should have.

I'm sure a bunch of people buy knowing it'll collapse, but thing they're so smart and savvy they'll sell it just in time to get rich

If you are not an insider, don't buy, simple as that. And even if you think you are, are you really? Were you invited to the lavish opening party with the flamingos and the dancers at the huge mansion with two pools and all that? If not, then you are at the bottom of the totem pole, much like anybody else. Your designated role is to funnel your own money upward.

If yes then you're definitely the mark.

The real test is whether you're included in the 5 person Signal group they coordinate the date and time to dump

I mean, with all due respect, mostly these memecoins aren't promoted by presidents of countries with sized economies as investment opportunities.

[-] Montreal_Metro@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 month ago

They dug up a guy from the 70s to run the country.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 month ago

Might be an 80s guy. He should remember to fix his boneitis though

[-] DaiDactylos@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago

He looks like a British professional darts player from the 1970s.

Lolololol you’re way too brown for 400 million Americans to make room on the Mars Arkkk for you. It only seats three - Elon, the kid, and the sperm in Dons seat.

Argentina is a Trump (Americans) toady just like the Nazis. Also apparently a whore for people who approve Naziism to make money with crypto.

[-] Soyweiser@awful.systems 14 points 1 month ago

You sound crazy and you use anti sexworker language ( after some racist language). Nothing you say has to do with the article linked. Also weirdly conspiratorial tone. Not a fan of that.

[-] self@awful.systems 10 points 1 month ago

yeah, this is nothing but red flags

[-] Soyweiser@awful.systems 13 points 1 month ago

I'm just sitting here going 'you are hating this guy wrong!'

[-] froztbyte@awful.systems 7 points 1 month ago

^ what they said

[-] swlabr@awful.systems 16 points 1 month ago

Libra

could have sworn that this was the zuckcoin that was making the rounds a few years ago. I looked it up, they rebranded to “diem” due to legal issues before cancelling it altogether.

[-] froztbyte@awful.systems 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Libra-now-Diem, yeah. it was a full-on attempt to take the reins of value transmission and storage ("be the economy, be the bank"), beyond just coin

(also written about by david (which I haven't read (yet?) because handwave all my usual things on fire))

[-] swlabr@awful.systems 7 points 1 month ago

Two scams for the name of one. Double Zuck Grifting!!!

[-] Lon3star@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

That deserves a paddle'n

That's really weird. I've heard that his economy reforms are actually working.

[-] dgerard@awful.systems 15 points 1 month ago

i'm sure they're working for someone

[-] mountainriver@awful.systems 10 points 1 month ago

Economic Shock Doctrine works great for the oligarchs. Less well for everyone else. So it's not strange that Milei wants to scam his supporters and hand oligarchs a direct way to show their gratitude.

[-] Amoeba_Girl@awful.systems 4 points 1 month ago

That's weird. I've heard you were a spambot.

[-] Sebeck012@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If you have some other insightful video that argues against the one I posted please share. The video I posted represents the (quite shallow) depth of my knowledge on the subject of the economic and political situation in Argentina. 🤷

Edit: found this explaining the crypto issue, interesting. https://youtu.be/KFHWFeHYhok

[-] froztbyte@awful.systems 3 points 1 month ago

read the sidebar, you weird fuckwit

[-] Sebeck012@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago

No idea what's going on or what I did wrong. I browse by "all". All I get is insults 🤷

[-] froztbyte@awful.systems 2 points 1 month ago

we already have hilbert curves, you don't need to go fill space just because it's there

Yep. He should stick to governing and do less online nonsense.
