If you'd like to hear the incredible story of the OneCoin scam, the biggest cryptocurrency scam in history to date (estimated over 14 billion USD), Jamie Bartlett created a fantastic podcast, The Missing Cryptoqueen. An 9-episode series investigating Dr. Ruja Ignatova and OneCoin. Soon-to-be released book as well.
- psychoslave 4y agoSelling honest books talking about scams, really capitalism can thrive on the back of its own odious abuses.
- alexandargyurov 4y agoI would rather have a book showcasing the absurdity and informing people than to not have a book. It also doesn't have to be linked to capitalism, the podcast is free and can be listened by anyone. I'm sure the e-book won't cost that much either.
- psychoslave 4y agoTo be clear, I didn’t mean to devalue the specific book or the effort behind it. It’s just the general thought that came to my mind about the ironical mechanism behind the endeavor.
- imgabe 4y ago“Something bad happens” God damn it, capitalism strikes again!
- psychoslave 4y agoIf the initial event was some odious abuses of, say some dictatorial regime, you would certainly not see a book about the event, produced by the said regime, and reinforcing its own pervasiveness on social structures. It’s the reinforcing feedback loop that I found striking.
- imgabe 4y agoYeah, dictators are famously modest and never produce any media commemorating their deeds.
- psychoslave 4y agoI meant, it’s unlikely that dictatorial regime will let publication about the faulty behaviors it produces be released, let alone generate reinforcement of its system through such a release.
