A Bitcoin investor was recently scammed out of 9 Bitcoin (worth around $490K) in a fake “Exodus wallet” desktop application for Linux, published in the Canonical Snap Store. This isn’t the first time; if nothing changes, it likely won’t be the last.
Bitcoin is just a scam in general.
“Bro, I’ll sell you this really complicated number. No one else has it.”
“What can I do with it?”
“Sell it for more money to a bigger fool than you.”
"I’m in.*
“Bro, I’ll trade your food for this fancy piece of paper”
“What can I do with it”
“Trade it for more food with a bigger fool than you”
“I’m in”
(Not saying that you’re wrong, just your argument is stupid)
So you think Blackrock fall into a scam too?
That’s a bit how currency works in general, the only reason why that piece of paper / metal has value is because we agree that it does (mainly large banks will back it). People also buy and sell currency
The issue is around it being seen as an investment more than as a currency?
Ppf. It’s digital currency. It’s not a scam.
You sound like an 80-year old who refuses to use debit cards because they aren’t cash.
That’s how all currencies work.
“Bro, I’ll sell you this piece of paper with a number in it” etc.
