i agree in general with that sentiment, if the intention for "promoting" is just purely for personally beneficial (financial) reasons. thats big time scum shit. i want to be clear that im not trying to imply its immune from criticism (ive ended up having to sell well over a majority of it whenever i really was like 0 dollars in my chime account broke, over that stretch of those 2 years) just that i dont think its a very nice thing for anyone here or anywhere else online to be almost reveling in it since the big "players" involved are going to be the ones that are hit with the least amount of hurt by anything that may happen (as per usual)....

most hurt will be people like me or those people i mentioned that i knew, that maybe bought very modest amounts of bitcoin or whatever who work some shitty job at a fast food chain, and just wanted to feel like they owned something for once in their lives even if it wasnt for very long at all
