It is difficult to feel sorry for the chumps.
If someone came up to me and said they were selling magic beans that would grow a vine up to the moon where riches await, I would politely decline.
It doesn't matter if the seller substitutes the word "crypto" for "beans".
What's even better are the "pros". In their pitch deck, only shown to whales, they promised "High Returns With No Risk".

Anyone who looks at a slide or printout with "high returns" and "no risk" on the same page and who doesn't immediately come to the conclusion that they're being scammed deserves every penny of loss they suffer.
Here I sit with "enough" (more than billions of others on Earth, really) watching a clawing mass of rabid others, each possessing way more than "enough" already, frantically scrambling for their spot at the trough so they can go to the moon and get a yacht or some stupid shit like that-- laughing.
- Zpalmtree 4y agoyou could have been just holding usdc on FTX, and got fucked. Of course, not your keys, not your crypto always applies, but it's easier to feel sorry for folks like this.
- reducesuffering 4y ago> usdc on FTX This is not money, not on a bank with FDIC, and not on a brokerage with SIPC. If you don't think so, I've got some usdb on realmoneyexchange.com to sell you.
