That's a very important caveat. In our modern economy it's difficult to not be a shill in some way, shape, or form, even if you don't quite realize it consciously. It's honestly one of the most depressing things about the stock market.
- xk_id 2y agoI credit my past interest in cryptocurrencies for educating me about the essence of the stock market in its purest form. And in fact there are painful parallels with the AI bubble.
- malux85 2y agoTheres a big difference between being a happy customer and being a shill.
- Nullabillity 2y agoHolding stock is not being a "happy customer". I may be happy with the headset that I bought, but the difference is that I don't make money if you buy an identical one.
- malux85 2y agoI wasnt talking about holding stock, I was responding to this comment you said: > In our modern economy it's difficult to not be a shill in some way, shape, or form, even if you don't quite realize it consciously. Oxford dictionary defines a shill as "an accomplice of a confidence trickster or swindler who poses as a genuine customer to entice or encourage others." So the difference between someone shilling and being a satisfied customer is an intent to decieve. How is it "difficult to not pose as a genuine customer to entice or encourage others" ?
