Everything in #crypto is a copy of traditional finance without guardrails, while trying to pretend that guardrails are the reason there are more accidents.

Je réécoute cet épisode de 4 quarts d'heure qui parle d'une arnaque, les "tisseuses de rêves".
Il y a quelques années, j'étais tombée sur une espagnole qui recherchait du soutien moral et participait à un cercle de solidarité féminine en donnant 2000€, "puis tu fais des activités, tu te motives ensemble, et à la fin tu les récupères".
Étant très sceptique sur le dernier point, j'en avais parlé ici (ou sur twitter ?) et c'était bien une pyramide de Ponzi.
Je me demande ce qu'est devenue cette jeune, qui ne roulait pas du tout sur l'or :(

A generation who wasted it all! In a series of schemes that failed, then they bailed themselves out with generational theft. They jacked up taxes, tuition and cut benefits on subsequent generations to sunk-cost-fallacy themselves back into more confidence games. The few and the slick conned the majority out of everything. Then they voted their social security away, still blaming everyone else. Quit calling it the #boomer generation, they are the #ponzi generation. Shame!

The planet and our fellow humans deserve better than a giant #Ponzi scheme that serves only the top tiers at the cost of everything.
- The Planet: Agreed!
- Fellow humans: don't think so, it is the humans who do all this shit. https://defcon.social/@Valent/114601149056564102
Trump’s new crypto business is a religion.
You have to believe in Bitcoin for it to work.
'As the Wall Street Journal put it: “It’s as if investors are paying $2 for a $1 bill.”'

"Go to the nicest golf course you can find, track down the guy with the worst clubs, and ask him why he’s paying more than he can likely afford to be there. That’s #Trumpism. That’s the #masculinity #crisis. That’s the whole thing."

@meiselasb.bsky.social reports on Donald Trump’s growing failures and #idiocracy as his #Ponzi scheme presidency continues to be the least popular in #American history and world history.

Trump in PANIC MODE as he Utte...
#DOGE IS A #PONZI SCAM! "House Democrat Jamie Raskin is the truth-teller we desperately need! He’s cutting through the chaos, exposing Trump’s empty promises of ending #wars and fixing inflation on day one!
'We The People' are DONE with the smoke and mirrors of the Trump/Musk administration, which is more about fattening billionaire wallets than supporting everyday Americans!
And let’s be clear: it’s #Trump who should face penalties, NOT innocent people!

#Trump is like a human #ponzi scheme. He uses the goodwill of others to convince a new set of marks that he is sincere and just burns tohe old confederates and moves on with the new lot. The evidence of this is the ever changing list of trustees and the ever growing list of ex-trustees who now hate him.
@davey_cakes AI is a right wing con and #ponzi scheme. Drawing in the gullible in search of 'fools gold'. Personally I rip it out every time it's tentacles snake their way into #PalkyWorld
2/ #pembroke #regeneration #politics The current #Pembroke_Town #pembroke_castle #community hub etc etc is a #ponzi. Sucking to date £193 million from #PCC (Pembrokeshire County Council) 'regeneration' funding. That's #EU money by and large. I had a contact with another journo on #NationCymru , an 'independent' based in Swansea. The shutters have come down on that, hmm.
Como muchos me lo habéis pedido, aquí tenéis mi rutina desde las 3:00am de la mañana. Si no la hacéis, luego no os quejéis de que sois mileuristas. #coach #constancia #esfuerzo #disciplina #Ponzi #coach #carainflamada
On the heels of all this bad news rumours are swirling that Tesla investors and insiders are offloading shares.
Prompting Musk to hold an all hands begging Tesla employees to stop selling shares of the company:
“If you read the news, it feels like Armageddon. I can’t walk past a TV without seeing a Tesla on fire,” he said. “I understand if you don’t want to buy our product, but you don’t have to burn it down. That’s a bit unreasonable.”

"Is #SocialSecurity a #Ponzi scheme?"
No. The clearest evidence of that is that in a 'Ponzi Scheme', the only one to get rich is "the guy at the top"... who in this case would be the government.
#Republicans are constantly (falsely) telling us, "Social Security is going broke." 🤔 #SorryElon #TooStupidForPolitics #DisasterPresidency
#SocialSecurity Is Not a #Ponzi Scheme. Today’s attacks R just latest form of backlash to New Deal. Lawrence B. Glickman. When Musk called Social Security “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time” on Joe Rogan’s podcast on February 28, he was, wittingly or not, echoing a long line of conservative critics. Over the last 15 years alone, a long line of Republican politicians—Mick Mulvaney, Ron Johnson, Rick Perry, Ted Cruz, and Rand Paul—have characterized it the same way. https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/social-security-is-not-a-ponzi-scheme/
