TOP #WARNIING; #Cryptocurrency Is a Giant #Ponzi Scheme

  




Hello Investors


This is a rather long article (20 minutes) linked below but the bottom line is that I agree with the primary assertations that both blockchain and cryptocurrencies (Bitcoins et al) are worthless and meaningless because nothing material or concrete and real is ever physically created by these notions/products/scams. 





Their primary purpose was to make real money for their creators in terms of sovereign currencies by attracting bigger fools to convert those currencies to the creators' phony digitized and hyped-up monopoly money known as cryptocurrency. A sucker is born every minute. How much would you pay for monopoly money? Sadly these negative-sum game hoaxes also use up our planet's scarce energy resources with no energy or physical materials return on energy invested. Plain Stupid.





These products are now beginning to fail as their prices are in a dramatic tailspin as projected due to their absence of concrete value, inflation, and higher interest rates. What was an inherent grave concern all along is that the value of these products/scams are not subject to any form of high-end annual independent verification or professional audit and consequently in nature they are similar to Bernie Madoff's criminal Ponzi scheme. The myth of easy money.


BERNIE'S NEW PENTHOUSE




To summarize, both of these notions/product groups are scams and not investments in any way, shape, or form because they do not have underlying verifiable concrete assets that have metrics that can be used to measure and determine their valuations, monetary economic state of affairs, and trajectories. They are mere fictionHot Air!

These fictions are thus essentially casino bets having their outcomes subject to the rules of random mathematics and not deterministic valuations based on principles of concrete physics and mathematics.

So, as the wise have long professed throughout the ages - 'caveat emptor' - Buyer Beware!
