there’s more people out there than you think. your exposure to the concept is relatively niche and privelaged, i think there’s still massive chunks of the population with exploitable cash out there that cons like this seek to exploit

Zozano @lemy.lol - 1.1yr
I understand that, but I seriously doubt these people are losing essential money. If you can afford to buy Hawk Tuah coins for the 'community aspect' then they probably aren't at risk of losing their life saving.
There's a big gap between what's happening here and telescammers robbing grannies for example.

spujb @lemmy.cafe - 1.1yr
you’re free to believe that, without proof there’s no argument either way, and in any case it’s my personal belief this kind of manipulation of assets should be illegal no matter the target audience
13
Zozano @lemy.lol - 1.1yr
Don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming this isn't insider manipulation, or that it should be legal.
What I'm saying is people have a personal responsibility to be informed about the risks associated with cryptocurrency.
At this point, if you lose money on a pump-n-dumps, that's all on you.
The same could not be said five years ago, when influencer coins were unheard of.

spujb @lemmy.cafe - 1.1yr
Idk if you have ever looked at or downloaded a retail trading app, something like Robinhood. All of them have a prominent “education” section which distills down to “don’t take our word for it; know what you are buying before you do.”
You are correct that people have a personal responsibility to be informed about the risks. However ALSO, marketers of the risky assets also have a responsibility to inform traders of their own investments and that risks are even possible when giving financial advice—this obviously is happening nowhere because no regulating body requires it.
This is why I don’t hold it against anyone in this situation for not informing themselves. They can’t inform themselves if they aren’t even told it might be necessary, and especially not when that “personal responsibility” you speak of is actively hidden from them.
Hope this makes sense :) appreciate the discussion

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.

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.

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.

Oh right, the candlestick is the name given to a type of "error bar" chart in trading. When a pump and dump scheme happens, it typically draws a big big candlestick on charts.

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.

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

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.

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.
