The most obvious stupid scam ever conceived and they actually managed to hook a bunch of actual corporations

Square Enix, Nickelodeon, Coke, KFC, and more fell for this shit while regular people were laughing about how obvious a con it was.

Really puts into question the capitalist myth of the genius entrepreneur and the idea that these corporate types are rich because they are smart or deserving in some way.

      “ You're claiming that the answer to capitalism is more capitalism” I read this in the Christopher walken more cow bell tone and I just thought I should share. I got a fever and the only prescription is more capitalism

          also you can invest in companies and genuinly own a portion of them on the regular financial system that's what capitalism is

              The problem being that the poor can't afford to lose that gamble and they lack the connections or insider information to make better informed bets

              well that makes no sense if it's the same amount of money being bet

                I'm confused. The rich and poor can bet 50k on a company? Surely you see the difference between losing 50k making 50k a year and losing 50k as a multimillionaire.

                  yes but if you can't afford to loose 50K on the stock market you can't afford to loose 50K on crypto

                  crypto currency does nothing to deal with the issue of whether or not you can afford to gamble money on it

                    People have bills man

                    1,000,000- 50,000= 950,000

                    50k-50k= 0

                    Who can afford food after that?

                    Affording something is just about having the cash on hand to buy it. If you can't deal with the consequences of the loss you're not really affording it no?

                    Even with less extreme numbers the point still stands. You're misrepresenting and or misunderstanding UlyssesT.
