blanketswithsmallpoxWhen you're already a millionaire but didn't want to cash out because turns out you just liked riding the gambling high rather than treat it as a job.
BiptaEh if you really believe in crypto it makes no sense to cash out, but every peak has shown that attitude of "this is when crypto will really go mainstream" was wrong.

Yeah, which is why it's a Ponzi scheme banking on poor people's gambling addictions lol. Plenty of others have been duped into this shit since antiquity. MLM selling bored housewives Tupperware in the 1950s as if it was going to make them rich too. Stock is even more out of your hands unless you're already multi-millionaire rich.
The stock market, crypto, all of it when treated as short term get rich schemes is no different than literal gambling.

It's okay. You'll be a better person one day.
It’s okay. You’ll be a smarter person one day.
I'm not the one being an edgy cryptobro zealot on a GreenText post am I lol?
Neither am I. Nice straw man!
I’m sorry you’re dumb enough to think the entire stock market is a ponzi scheme. Try Googling something you don’t know before showing everyone that you have a room temperature IQ.
Redditors use the term Ponzi Scheme to refer to anything they don’t understand. It’s a massive pet peeve pseudo-intellectualism
The entire stock market. Not even metaphorically, the entirety of it, is so the rich can get richer and stay that way.
Eventually economies will have to scale to a non-growth sustaining setup which renders the 'free money from nothing by sitting on vast quantities of it' obsolete. It's a setup where literally millions of people put into shit like ROTH IRAs depend on money being created from nothing due to an inability for most economies to sustain retirement unless you invest in it yourself. Those social safety nets are going to be a nightmare to figure out when that realization hits.
In that world, the little guy gets almost exactly what he puts into savings. No compound interest. No making vast quantities more for the people on top. No millions putting in a little at the bottom to get an extra 10,000, while the people on top of the pyramid make LITERAL trillions.
That, is a literal ponzi scheme. Because modern economies depend on what's essentially accounting magic to keep rich people in power there while handing down as little as possible to the masses to BARELY survive their twilight years.
Short of unlimited free energy combined with carbon sequesteration, the stock market is almost a literal direct indicator at how much pollution we've created too. It's not sustainable. The market as we know it from the last 100 years is not sustainable in the same way in the next 100. Economic growth and pollution have only recently started to taper off thankfully. Greener initiatives are even good signs for stock now. Hooray!
I'm just glad I won't be old enough to have to go through that incoming disaster lol.
