Yes, I think for some folks the appeal of crypto is that it seems possible to get in on the con and themselves. Try to find some shitcoin or get tight with a group that's going to launch something to buy it an pre-public rates. It's not "crypto is more open so it can't happen" it's "they're all scams and here's my chance to fleece some other sucker."
I wouldn't paint all of crypto with that brush, but certainly a large proportion.

For the entirety of the last 10 years I've been hearing how blockchain is the "internet of the early 90s" - well by now it should be the internet of the early 2000s, but it's still the "internet of the early 90s" according to proponents. It's time to stop and ask yourself: what if it's just not that revolutionary after all? What if a really slow database isn't a solution to all our problems?
- tialaramex 4y ago> it seems possible to get in on the con and themselves Most confidence tricks involve this. I actually find the rare tricks which rely on the mark's honesty to be more interesting because you need a strategy more complicated than just "Don't be dishonest" to avoid losing.
