I wasn't paying that much attention, but that does seem like xtal's usual modus operandi. The rando didn't come across great, though.

Getting your crypto tanked by having the cool Reddit rocket guy show up on SNL and promote it right before one of the worst pieces of comedy on television is incredibly powerful. I can't imagine a better way to go for internet funbux.

LMAO Doge down 34% right when SNL aired. Pretty smart time to dump as DOGE hype was as it's peak, everyone thought it was going to pump after SNL so they had already bought it before the show. Maybe Elon dumped it? I mean he is pretty much a genius. I found this interesting - “Crypto is the future of currency, it is an unstoppable financial vehicle that is going to take over the world,” said Musk.

100% of the words said on SNL are read from cue cards. In case you couldn’t tell from Elon’s terrible delivery of everything he said.

I don’t really understand the current naysaying abo DOGE? It’s at like .50+ still, so as long as you didn’t buy it above that, you’re still in the green?

Did that many people buy at 65+ recent?

The trick is in finding enough people to buy from you while you're still in the green. Who also want to find new people to sell to while they're in the green, and so on.

The reason people are down on doge is the same reason that people are down on all other crypto- it's a zero sum bullshit game where the only money being made is being made out of other people and nothing of actual value is being created.

"Oooh, got a little too serious. You okay there, little buddy?"
My gambling story:

I bought doge at 7c when the first big push had blown up with GME and it immediately dropped to 3c or so as soon as I bought. I felt like a stupid no nothing retail investor who got too excited by memes. I waited on it and it went back to 7c after two weeks or something and I sold it all again and it dropped again, and I was happy to get my money back, I got out without losing anything.

Now it's peaked at like 70c and I missed it, but I'm not going to try and catch a ride ever again. I've learnt it's a pure gamble, and crypto is wrecking the planet.

Seeing Musk send it spiralling down is a good lol.

If I had held on I would probably be cheering it on and would have learnt nothing. Thanks doge.

My gambling story:

Mine is more of less the same, I bought in early March when it was around 0.15¢ and then it ballooned almost immediately afterwards. Kept an eye on it and heard about this DogeDay on [snicker] [hehe] 4/20, where the price was going to magically blossom by the power of memes or whatever. Then I watched as the price of Doge fell by a few digits and decided to get out right away. I still made $200 on my initial investment but that doesn't make Crypto any less stupid. :v: Then every time I see a thing on Twitter about the price jumping and get remorse I pop open a price tracker and it's pretty much already back down to what I sold it for.

I think the reason why people are dunkin on Doge is just because it's a dumb culture around something even stupider. Crypto is volatile and goes up or down for seemingly random amounts but you have this huge community that's treating it like The Secret where you can trust Daddy Elon to raise the price. That's not to say it's still profitable and people haven't made money off the rise but I can't imagine it's going to see massive surges for a while after this.

My dad suggested setting up a crypto brokerage for all his old people friends. No matter the price I'd make money, and the sooner they lose money the sooner they will realize it is a scam and shut up about it, so it'd be a win for both of us.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

If you take a little to demonstrate that they’re ignorant to the scam, good on you.

If you take all they’ll give, you’re an awful person for taking advantage of old people’s ignorance of one of the most lied about and poorly understood technologies/scams on the planet.

I’m sure you’ll do right thing. :smith:

Get out, this thing has idiot strength but it's very, very bubbly right now. A big crash is quite likely, and as you said you made a cool 1000 dollars in a week. Take it out, treat yourself to something nice, and be content with the fact that you "won" crypto
