    i don't trust crypto one bit, but was out with a friend last night and she showed me how her investment has gone up fourfold over the last couple of years.

    not just bitcoin, but eth and a couple of others ¿batcoin?

    i was stunned that you can still get growth like that, but what do i know? nothing it seems

    • 'cuz it's a scam ofc
      ********
    • Of course it’s up the last couple of years.monospaced
    • It’s not a scam if she just cashed some out. Easy peazymonospaced
    • No, just because somebody cashes out from time to time doesn't make it any less of a ponzi scam
      ********
    • How much did she risk though? Seems it's not worth the bother unless you go in hard, but then going in hard is.. well, risky.Nairn
    • £25k...hans_glib
    • can you believe it? i mean, good for her, but fuck i wouldn't risk that kind of moneyhans_glib
    • I've got a friend who, if he'd held everything he started investing in 2011 or so when bitcoin was new, would be with $82M when it's up around $40k a coinmg33
    • *grumbles* i've friends who've gone in quite large. One sold his % of a house he co-owned to gamble on it. I never had him as a gambler, and he's not tech-litNairn
    • Well your friend is still a millionairemonospaced
    • Four times, haha!stewart
    • it's gambling.
      pretty much the same as: "I know a friend who bet $25k in Vegas and quadrupled his money" ...while there are thousands other people who lost $

    • ^except what goes on in Vegas, stays in Vegas while every crypto head and their grandma wants to shill you coins 24/7

    • A lot of people are getting rich around you. I see young families buying $6MM brownstones in my hood. Guess where that money is coming from
      ********
    • ^ trust funds . LOLKrassy
    • And like any inflated commodity, and there have been many throughout history, people profit. Regular people. It’s just how it is.monospaced
