Crypto Coins are very simply a monetary Ponzi Scheme. If someone is trying to sell you Bitcoins, it's because it makes them money to sell them to you, which means you lose immediately by purchasing them. The fantasy is that they will make you rich. There is NO good Crypto. www.ft.com/content/83a1...
Why bitcoin is worse than a Madoff-style Ponzi scheme
A Ponzi scheme is a zero-sum enterprise. But bitcoin is a negative-sum phenomenon that you can’t even pursue a claim against, argues Robert McCauley.

People are not mad enough at Israel for intentionally starving Palestinians. It seems surreal to me that the international community is allowing this to happen. There are warehouses full of food and medications that other nations have sent but Israel won't allow in. We are watching a war crime live.

This!! I've said it countless times now, but if you give money to the everyday person, they'll spend it, thereby boosting the economy. Give it to the rich & all they'll do is put it in an offshore bank account.

What do people on welfare do with this money? They spend it quickly, therefore putting it back into the economy.
So, surely this is an entirely self defeating move, isn't it?
