    This video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. Scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam. Others would call it a Napoleon Hill pitch.

      @@terris-njw imo, there is a very fine line between most cryptocurrencies and ponzi schemes. Unlike a stock, bond, or other traditional investment, they do not accrew new value by any generation of new value such as a companies' profits. Coin holders are essentially paid the increase from the money others invested, so if an exchange fails, the last ones to pull out will most likley not even get the current value of coin they put in. The only difference is most investors are fully aware most crypto is more risky.

It cant be made infinitely.

    I think the "they can try to get partners to shore up the peg then try to rebuild trust" bit sounds a whoooole lot like central banking borrowing from other central banks.
    "Spending Bitcoin reserves to hold up the value in the short term" also sounds a looooot like QE.
    Wow. So different from central banking fundamentals which are "evil"

      It's kinda funny how the crypto market has just been speed running the entire history of market catastrophes and showing everyone why regulations and government involvement are so important.

      Regulations are not needed in crypto means that each buyer can take decision owing to its own research.
      We all are witnessing how that is going

      Now crypto bros should go all in to make their coins cheaper. At least that's what you should do when you're investing in a solid company and a crash happens. You know it's going up again.
