Taking investment advice from someone who types polemics on HN all day was never a sound strategy.
See, one data point does not necessarily disprove the worth of another. Floyd was promoting a scam in this instance, but that doesn't mean he is completely incapable of uttering the words, "buy an asset that slowly and predictably and sustainably rises faster than inflation."
- stryk 9y agoI can almost guarantee you Floyd Mayweather does not know what an ICO is. Nor does he likely understand what Cryptocurrency is on anything other than a supremely basic level. Mayweather cares about one thing: money. This company probably payed him a metric shit-ton of it to promote their ICO in a tweet, that is all. Floyd Mayweather can barely read. I''m not exaggerating, it's actually kind of sad. But, on the other hand Floyd Mayweather doesn't have to read. He spends his life training and making more money in one night than many of us probably will in 20 years.
- nate_meurer 9y agoEase up on the reins there cowboy, I think you took that comment waaaay too seriously. That said, I've been following Mayweather closely as a boxer for many years. He's a boxing prodigy, but he's also a genuine imbecile. I wouldn't be surprised if actually doesn't grasp the concept of inflation. Really, no exaggeration.
- nate_meurer 9y agoI feel compelled to add that, in addition to being a man of modest intellect, Floyd Mayweather is also an unapologetic serial wife beater (or girlfriend beater as the case may be) [https://nesn.com/2017/08/why-has-floyd-mayweathers-domestic-violence-history-been-ignored-in-fight-run-up/ https://nesn.com/2017/08/why-has-floyd-mayweathers-domestic-...]. When confronted, one of his favorite excuses is that "only God can judge me". Class act there.
