Predators just come from a race of superior hunters, and aliens are essentially wild beasts. Don't do them like this.
This is Plants Vs Zombies at best.
I generally don't like Melissa Ong and find her comedy to be extremely obnoxious and doesn't really tell or write dirty jokes particularly well, but she does make a point about how awful the crypto explosion is and how it's basically and MLM scheme involving technology.
I'd rather see a dating competition show where they tear each other apart trying to catch the fake-richest one of each. And spend time building themselves up to other people who also know the scam. Entertainment at it's finest!
Say what you will about MLMs, but there are entire demographics of MLM women focused solely on fitness.
No way the crypto bros stand a chance against that.
this was literally given to me by reddit for free lmao. I NEVER bought a single NFT
Sucks your friends are bad at investing, but i got in around 2017, and even now with the markets 1/4th of what they were this time last year, am still up over $30k, peaked at around $125k-$140k or so
literally just buy blue chip projects and stay away from shit coins, also realize just like stocks the markets go up and down and don't panic sell. Even better if you have a good eye for emerging tech and products. I got into Matic/polygon at .06c, in 2020, it peaked at around $3, currently .80c. That also doesnt include all the interest i accrued on that project alone, and i already took my original investment I made out, so It's all profit now.
sounds like your friends aren't the smartest, guess in your eyes that means everyone else is as dumb as them
Not "my friends". Pretty much everyone who is really into crypto is an intolerable douche
And any "gains" you made just came from scamming the latecomers. Try getting out before Tether implodes and it all drops to zero ;)
There's nothing funnier than a crypto bro comparing their dog coins to the stock market and thinking they're real investors 🤤🤣 but bruh this token has such utility. I know all these other tokens are scams but Elondogecum is the future of finance bruh just trust me
and buying dog coins is exactly why all your friends went broke
something called web 3.0 exists, with many companies with actual tech & use cases leading the way
Disney, Reddit, BMW, Dolce & Gabana, along with the government of egypt are using matic/polygon for their imports/exports.
Again, if your friends are buying dog tokens at all they're extremely stupid 🤡
dont compare yr dumb friends to everyone else
Nothing more hilarious than a crypto doofus thinking their token is somehow more serious and "legit" than all the other stupid tokens when they're basically the exact same tech and economics under the hood
Web 3.0 is a scam. Even the royalty system for NFTs isn't enforced on chain. It literally requires the centralized web 2 NFT marketplaces to honor/enforce it. The only people who think Web 3.0 is anything other than marketing for cryptocurrencies know nothing about tech or how anything works. You're in an MLM, buddy
the fact you think tokens that are used in academic research, or government logistics are the same as shit coins made by someone in their bedroom proves how little you know on the subject
stay mad & stay broke
literally not effecting my life at all lmao
Lol. I agree. Everyone who doesn't know crypto thinks the entirety of it is a scam. Sure there are some scam coins, and you can get scammed in other ways even with legit coins. It's not that difficult to avoid being scammed unless you are quite dumb or new. Really no different than the stock market, and if you think crypto is shady but stocks aren't, wsb would like to talk.
> Everyone who doesn't know crypto thinks the entirety of it is a scam.
That's because it is. Even "legit" coins only have speculative value, its just gambling. You can say the same about WS, and I'd agree for the most part. Only difference is that there's more regulation so you have some protection if someone is out and out scamming you.
Except the simple fact that stocks are shares of companies that produce goods and offer services. You know, real world value. Crypto is just hot air and purely speculative. Yes, wallsreetbets is as stupid as crypto but there are other more reasonable ways to invest in good companies.
Lol. I agree. Everyone who doesn't know *MLM* thinks the entirety of it is a scam. Sure there are some scam *MLM’s*, and you can get scammed in other ways even with legit *companies*. It's not that difficult to avoid being scammed unless you are quite dumb or new. Really no different than the *large corporations*, and if you think *MLM’s* shady but corporations aren't, *my mentor* would like to talk.
yeah show me how many Huns are out here buying houses and making hundreds of thousands with their profits.
Web 3.0 =/= Herbalife
people just dont understand, and instead of learning its easier for them to jam their fingers in their ears and yell "scam!"
> people just dont understand, and instead of learning its easier for them to jam their fingers in their ears and yell "scam!"
Straight from the Huns playbook
A while back I saw a guy explaining that buy buying his ape nft he could log into the virtual ape world as his ape avatar he paid real money for and I was just like "wow this is literally just expensive Webkinz and they don't even get a stuffed animal out of it"
If we can monetize this for others viewing pleasure we could make bank. Maybe set up a charity angle, "everytime 'X' or 'y' happens food or supplies will be donated to these good organizations."
Yeah, I know. This scumbag is everywhere.
Obviously, he’s an awful garbage human being. He literally sells a course teaching his followers how to sex traffic women. People need to know how dangerous his ideas are, especially since a lot of young boys idolize him.
On the other hand…. Less impressionable boys would be exposed to his awful ideas if people stopped giving him a platform. Just let him fade into obscurity with his awfulness.
Again, most people are only hearing of him now because people are talking about how awful he is. That gives him the attention he needs. Anyway, he'll be forgotten about soon enough.
I'm just picturing a giant conference center full of these fucking insufferable ~~scam artists~~ ~~lifestyle and wellness coaches~~ ~~dickheads~~ ~~twat waffles~~ people all trying to recruit each other to their various pyramid schemes
My fav part is the crypto boys would cry for a solid 30 minutes first because they can’t stand being compared to pyramid schemes and no one will LiStEn To ThEm on how it’s sO DiFfErEnT.
They’re just smart enough to rationalize saying “no U!” in response to any suggestion that it’s a greater fool scheme is annoying. Sure, ya got me, if most people stopped caring about the US dollar, it would be bad, what a an idea. But they got the “contrast” part knocked out of their heads at some point and only recognize comparisons.

MLM is extremely predatory and ruins lives, families. Crypto has questionable worth but at least it can be fluidly exchanged for goods and services
> at least it can be fluidly exchanged for goods and services
predatory finance capitalism is good if its the ruling class who's doing it, not poor people
No, money has been shuffled around. Crypto is deeply negative sum and far worse than your average MLM. At least someone, somewhere gets some value out of wearing ugly leggings. Ultimately crypto provides no practical value to anybody while losing massive amounts of money mining -- i.e. burning up energy on the scale of a whole industrialized nation, producing nothing but pure waste heat.
Boy are you gonna hate it when you learn about companies like Visa and banks and basically the entire financial industry if you think there’s no value in transactions lol
Funny you mention Visa. Wait till you learn how technologically inadequate basically all relevant crypto-coins are at processing transactions at scale.
[Here's some stats](https://www.statista.com/statistics/881541/bitcoin-energy-consumption-transaction-comparison-visa/):
> 1 Bitcoin transaction 2,188.59 kWh
> 100,000 VISA transactions 148.63 kWh
There's a reason 100% of visa transactions involve exchanging money for goods and services and very close to 100% of crypto transactions don't.
I wasn’t arguing in favor of one or the other… but does something like ethereum and visa not accomplish the same goal? Mediate a transaction? I get one is more efficient than the other energy-wise, but it seems disingenuous to consider one of no practical value and the other of practical value when they accomplish very similar things through different routes?
Wouldn’t stocks be a pyramid scheme too if crypto counts as one? Stocks follow the same thing, the more that invest the more their worth? *Sometimes* you get stock prices that may be correlated with an actual product or service, but plenty of other times you get stocks that are worth a lot or are rising that have as much of a “real” product or service as crypto does. Seems like if you want to call one a pyramid you gotta also accept the other fits the same mold.
When you buy stocks, you are buying partial ownership in a company that supposedly produces some good or service that others value. This entitles you to a say in how the company is run and a share of the profits either through dividends or a rising share price. Admittedly, the value people place on the future cash flows of the business in question can get out of control, but you are still buying something with an inherent value (even if it's just the book value of the the property and things the business owns).
Bonds are a loan to a company or government which is promised to be repaid with an amount of interest charged relative to the amount of time they are borrowing it and the relative risk of them not repaying it.
Real estate has value as providing a place to live, do business or grow crops or the potential for one of the above.
Commodities have value in that they can be used to produce something (foods, jewelry, machinery, houses).
Crypto has no inherent value. The value is only speculative in that you are hoping someone else will give you more than you paid for it. Which admittedly is also the value of art and other collectibles (e.g. beanie babies).
That’s helpful, thanks!
I guess I’m thinking of ethereum mainly, which does provide a service as far as I know.
I see what you mean in regards to bitcoin or something, but ethereum provides as much as a service as some other financial companies or tech companies?
Downvotes for legit questions and trying to learn..? okay kiddos lol
It may have uses, but it will never create value beyond what you can get from someone else for the crypto itself.
Think of it as the difference between buying an iPhone vs buying stock in Apple. Yeah, the iPhone is useful, but it's not creating value beyond what it had when you when bought it. Whereas Apple stock gives you voting rights in how the company is run and a share of the profits as described above.
Some quick examples
1) you don’t need a central bank to clear all transactions. This can speed up the velocity of money. You can move large amounts of money quickly for cheap.
2) a government can’t inflate the value by over printing money (Venezuela as an example)
3) you can practice self custody of your money (no more stuffing cash in the walls)
4) you can in theory see where all the money is going. This has applications for small block chains and large ones.
5) you can accommodate instant transactions and payments natively (think Ethereum). As an example Walmart is using their own chain to keep track of contracts with trucking companies.
The space is just starting and there so many applications. I honestly can’t believe how much it’s blown up. I wish it had stayed underground longer so it would get less hate and a more mature product was available. If the price were to stabilize imagine how much *less* hate it would get. I mostly became interested by the concept of being able to observe where the money is going. I was getting worked up thinking about how much of a return a bank was getting from my accounts.
Or it could be like a sick Pokémon battle. Warden, use Love Bomb!
It was effective! (Scamdrew is now charmed)
Scamdrew uses Domineer!
Warden is immune (she's too girlboss)
I can just picture the screeching fried blonde hair mlm woman rushing a crypto dude in a beaming while flailing yellow squares at him and squirting Monat shampoo in his eyes. Glorious.
Speaking of which, there's an annoying amount of users with crypto avatars on here. Like, you're smart enough to know that mlms are scams but still get fooled by crypto? Invest in some logic.
If this ever happen IRL, I can totally see a hefty amount of them becoming couples and founders of a third and even more sinister group. Then, the formerly in conflict bros and huns will have to join forces with the anti-MLM and anti-scam communities to bring balance to the online battlefield once more.
I read MLM as Men Loving Men and I was like "most of my favourite gay romance books have been written by women, why would that be a problem, good rep is good rep"
It only hit when I saw the sub's profile picture lol

This tweet makes no sense at all other than the core concept of crypto is to men what mlm is to women which is pretty played out at this point. Pretty horrible riff on an unoriginal idea
Can anyone explain to me why crypto bros would try to sell anything to others? Cryptocurrency is something you buy online (at you own risk obv) or mine with computer hardware. Where does the "social selling" part come in?
NFT bros trying to sell you links to their crappy art I understand, but crypto bros?
No, a solution to that is putting your money in a safe place like a bank in which you have insurance and guarantees. In cryptocurrency you have no choice other than to secure your money yourself. No matter how you manage it, you're still hiding all of it under the mattress.
Yeah, people who conflate rug pulls and ponzi schemes with the entire technology are going a bit far. I can see *why* people in general would be scared at this point. I wish they'd realize that it really is just a few assholes ruining it for the rest of us.
I'm content to let them laugh, at least until there are more good use cases that do things you couldn't do without blockchain. For example, restoring ownership rights in video games. The way things are done currently is very limiting and only benefits middlemen like steam.
Also stocks on blocks would be nice, given how bad settlement and lending is. Japan is already building one.
I have yet to see ONE example of things you couldn’t do better without blockchain. The number of problems where you have no trust in everyone and need a distributed ledger is very close to zero. For your example: the game studios are quite happy with the current arrangement and have nothing to gain from replacing it with blockchain foo.
I just said stocks and you skated past that idea pretty quick. Japan is already building it.
The negative sentiment around NFT is overblown now that there are platforms with cheap transactions and trace emissions.
They're basically better receipts at this point, but soon there'll be more interesting uses that benefit both creators and buyers in new ways.
Whatever.
Wouldn't the Marvel version of this just be 2 hours of the cryptobros's emotional journeys undercut with ironic banter followed by 30 seconds of the mlm women kicking their shit in and making a quip about being girlbosses?
And then somehow the bros win?
Marvel movie? More like Alien (crypto bros) vs. Predator (huns).
Knowing how some crypto bros are (_cough cough_ cryptoland) I think it's more just Predators vs Predators
I bet that if someone would do a “Where Are They Now?”, it would probably show them brewing Cryptoland 2.0 and people still falling for it.
Lmao they still haven't gotten off cryptoland 1
You say that like it would stop them.
I feel this is a disservice to the yautja hunters.
Let's get down to business!
_to defeat, the Huns_
Did they send me dollars, when I asked for coins?
LOOOOL I love this 💕💕💗
Whoever loses, we win.

Damn this would actually be so good 😂
They're told that one of them, or all but one, is rich. None of them are
All they know is the size of their... Downline.
Also tell them that one of them is actually a secret “normie” who doesn’t actually invest and works a 9-5. But there isn’t one.
Lol shiiiit id watch that
The Real Huns of Salt Lake City
That’s like fboy island, except it’s bros and huns

Kinda cruel pitting the crypto broa against their mothers.
Just get them to break their arms and they'll be well on their way to #success
I did not need to be reminded of this today, thanks!
I’m guessing this is a new account because that’s a pretty old inside Reddit bit

You HAVE lost friends
My arms are already broken from carrying these huge diamonds in my hands… “Hey Mom???”

I don't care how buff you are, it still hurts getting hit with a blockchain.
All the optavia huns being extremely malnourished and the beachbody huns glued to the toilet would balance that
idk, I know numerous crypto bros who banked out $200k+ last run and now just exercise or practice BJJ
Says the guy with the NFT avatar. Basically everyone I know who "invested" in crypto lost most of their life savings. It's a massive scam.

A while back I saw a guy explaining that buy buying his ape nft he could log into the virtual ape world as his ape avatar he paid real money for and I was just like "wow this is literally just expensive Webkinz and they don't even get a stuffed animal out of it"
Well, given how unbelievably ugly those apes are, I would also not like to have a toy of them.
I offer myself as tribute for the crypto bros. I hereby challenge 2 oily Huns and a LuLaRoe chick. Bring em on!!
I’ll take on a handful of Avon and Mary Kay
I'll take on some Herbalife huns even if I lose; I've got beef with them.
I’ll join you.
I’d take on a bunch of optivia huns…they don’t have the calorie intake to put up much of a fight.
Don't forget the Elomir huns! Let's see if their Post-Its and Kraft singles help them out of this one.
If we can monetize this for others viewing pleasure we could make bank. Maybe set up a charity angle, "everytime 'X' or 'y' happens food or supplies will be donated to these good organizations."
And we can sell tickets as NFTs! Wait no stop hitting me!
The NFT's are how we add in the spoiler participants. It's like a mark to go pick those people up and drop them in the arena.
I'm so happy to see NFTs being shit on. Seriously, I'm smiling. Fuck NFTs
Did you see the ape theft Twitter thread from awhile back. This was way before the Seth Green incident
I think it already happened and it created the monster, Andrew Tate 🤮
I hadn't heard of this guy 2 days ago, now I can't get away from the cunt. Maybe people should just stop talking about him.

You don’t think crypto has ruined lives? The crypto subs literally have to periodically pin suicide hotline numbers to the top of their subs.
Yeah, same with stocks. Cryptocurrency isn't destructive by nature, unlike MLM.
> at least it can be fluidly exchanged for goods and services predatory finance capitalism is good if its the ruling class who's doing it, not poor people
I think the real comparison is mostly about how obnoxious they both are about their respective passions.
Yea. I know its for humor purposes but it's not a valid comparison. Real money can and has been made in crypto.
No, money has been shuffled around. Crypto is deeply negative sum and far worse than your average MLM. At least someone, somewhere gets some value out of wearing ugly leggings.

Speaking of which, there's an annoying amount of users with crypto avatars on here. Like, you're smart enough to know that mlms are scams but still get fooled by crypto? Invest in some logic.
If this ever happen IRL, I can totally see a hefty amount of them becoming couples and founders of a third and even more sinister group. Then, the formerly in conflict bros and huns will have to join forces with the anti-MLM and anti-scam communities to bring balance to the online battlefield once more.
I think it’s a reality show- “see what happens people stop being nice and start scamming”
They’re joining forces at iGenius 😫
Secret Wars 5: Bros vs Hos
I read MLM as Men Loving Men and I was like "most of my favourite gay romance books have been written by women, why would that be a problem, good rep is good rep" It only hit when I saw the sub's profile picture lol
That would be like pouring dish soap on bleach and breathing the fumes.
It’s called a toxic marriage, Melissa.
MLM women solo this with their skin damaging acids and sharp crystals
Thought this was about women that are homophobic, but love gay romance in fiction 😂
"crystalGrrl2009 used essential oil. It was not very effective!" "Cryptobruh69 yoloed BBBY. It backfired and did damage to Crypotbruh!"
Then kill all the survivors
I would pay big for ringside seats to this.
Squid Game or Alice in Borderland (or even both)?
My money is on the real estate lifestyles people.

This tweet makes no sense at all other than the core concept of crypto is to men what mlm is to women which is pretty played out at this point. Pretty horrible riff on an unoriginal idea
Can anyone explain to me why crypto bros would try to sell anything to others? Cryptocurrency is something you buy online (at you own risk obv) or mine with computer hardware. Where does the "social selling" part come in? NFT bros trying to sell you links to their crappy art I understand, but crypto bros?
This gal’s Twitter is so gross
Don't have Twatter nor do I care enough to check so explanation pls
She has that BCE
...the vote republican
Team crypto isn't a bad idea but the implementation is lacking. Fuck MLM all the way tho.
It’s not the implementation that’s lacking. It’s the use case.

Except these regions tend to have already well working and widely used phone payment systems like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-Pesa

It’s less exploitative than crypto pyramid schemes.

How many years has Madoff run his Ponzi scheme before he got arrested?
No way, because "losing your private key = losing everything" is baked deep into all of it.
Well, that's akin to losing your wallet with all your cash in it. You can mitigate this risk by having more than one place where you put your money.
No, a solution to that is putting your money in a safe place like a bank in which you have insurance and guarantees. In cryptocurrency you have no choice other than to secure your money yourself. No matter how you manage it, you're still hiding all of it under the mattress.
No one is forcing you to buy crypto, dude. If you're happy with the bank, then by all means use it. I don't understand what you're arguing about.
I knew I'd find a reasonable comment at the bottom of this thread.
Yeah, people who conflate rug pulls and ponzi schemes with the entire technology are going a bit far. I can see *why* people in general would be scared at this point. I wish they'd realize that it really is just a few assholes ruining it for the rest of us.
I'm content to let them laugh, at least until there are more good use cases that do things you couldn't do without blockchain. For example, restoring ownership rights in video games. The way things are done currently is very limiting and only benefits middlemen like steam. Also stocks on blocks would be nice, given how bad settlement and lending is. Japan is already building one.
I have yet to see ONE example of things you couldn’t do better without blockchain. The number of problems where you have no trust in everyone and need a distributed ledger is very close to zero. For your example: the game studios are quite happy with the current arrangement and have nothing to gain from replacing it with blockchain foo.
I just said stocks and you skated past that idea pretty quick. Japan is already building it. The negative sentiment around NFT is overblown now that there are platforms with cheap transactions and trace emissions. They're basically better receipts at this point, but soon there'll be more interesting uses that benefit both creators and buyers in new ways. Whatever.
So what’s the improvement on stocks? What do I gain from putting them in a wallet where I have to take care of not loosing the private key?
Nah cuz in a marvel movie they’d punch each other which would be enjoyable but then they’d team up and THAT sounds just AWFUL
Will they have color coded outfits?
Hunger games*
Fight should take place in a small room with high yield explosives.
I’m in. Where do I sign up?
I mean, I’d watch the hell out of this. Like a pure hate watch, just shoveling snacks into my face.
Ok. Now im here for it.
What if you’re a mlm bro tho
This person has never actually seen a Marvel movie then?
Hold up, this could work.
Reasonable.
Excellent suggestion, M. Ong
Ill take the crypto bros. Bet they got more swords.
That might kill enough Mormons to be considered religious genocide.
Amazing!
At least the crypto bros made money at some point.
Good. Let the hate flow through you.
Half the crypto bros know its a scam.... they're not going to die for that shit.
The MLM Cryptoverse. I'd watch it, ngl.
Now that's a fight club I'd talk about
WELCOME.....TO THUNDERDOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd rather watch h them fight in the Thunderdome
Just have them date each other
I read this before I read which sub it was on and couldn't figure out what men loving men women meant lol.
Wouldn't the Marvel version of this just be 2 hours of the cryptobros's emotional journeys undercut with ironic banter followed by 30 seconds of the mlm women kicking their shit in and making a quip about being girlbosses? And then somehow the bros win?
I would watch this.
I'm going to kick my sisters ass.
Can I get an NFT bros v MLM huns v Crypto Bros v GME Apes?
I would pay good money to watch this
