I don't understand how anyone can be cutting-edge enough to be into crypto and know how to send a transaction, yet not also know how to spot a scam in the year 2022.
- hsbauauvhabzb 5y agoYou mean the people who ‘invest’ in crypto without fully understanding it fall for other get rich quick schemes? No way!
- beaned 5y agoHm, yeah, I guess that take makes sense too.
- climb_stealth 5y agoOh wow, I had a reality-check of this a couple weeks ago when someone casually mentioned "investing into bitcoin" as something to do with a couple of thousand dollars at hand. And everyone agreed. In a group of people that are completely removed from the usual tech nerds. I fear crypto hasn't been cutting edge for years. I still don't quite take it seriously, but apparently it is normal now.
- MattGaiser 5y agoIt isn't cutting edge anymore. Relatives of mine without computers (old ones) have asked about investing in it. Everyone knows about Bitcoin.
- detaro 5y agocryptocurrency exchanges have TV ads and buy football stadium branding ("crypto.com arena") and are easy to access. It's not a cutting-edge thing anymore.
