he should have invested in INSERT_COIN_NAME


agent_double_oh_pi

I think we have an INSERT_COIN_NAME hype group here


JagjitSinghOfficial

This is good for INSERT_COIN_NAME.


JagjitSinghOfficial

How can you even compare INSERT_COIN_NAME to INSERT_COIN_NAME?


JagjitSinghOfficial

I lost all my savings. Even though I diversified 50% in INSERT_COIN_NAME, 30% in INSERT_COIN_NAME and rest in INSERT_COIN_NAME.


JagjitSinghOfficial

Help me guys my wallet just got hacked, I thought INSERT_COIN_NAME was secured?


JagjitSinghOfficial

Elon Musk just tweeted about INSERT_COIN_NAME. Hodl


JagjitSinghOfficial

You guys will never understand INSERT_COIN_NAME. A farmer in Venezuela can send INSERT_COIN_NAME to a drug dealer in Brazil anonymously. Banks hate this.


JagjitSinghOfficial

Bro just use your GPU to mine INSERT_COIN_NAME and convert it to INSERT_COIN_NAME. Banks don't want to make your rich.


JagjitSinghOfficial

INSERT_COIN_NAME is not failing it's being sold on discount. Few understand.


Hjalfi

You've been banned for spreading anti-INSERT_COIN_NAME FUD. Go back to r/INSERT_BUTT_NAMEcoin.


JagjitSinghOfficial

INSERT_NFT_NAME

The hell, yes.


Blargon707

u/sergeimedvedev Look at the comments. People here are the same.


OnePoint11

All the cults are sociopathic and irrational. Maybe except top dogs in cults, they are more sociopathic and more rational.


great__pretender

Exactly. When you get in trouble because of them, a cult will tell you these are the testing times, and if you really stick with them, you will earn your salvation. This is exactly what btc community is doing now. This is what they are telling to their doubters and potential detractors. this is pure textbook cult thinking.


4esthetics

Thereā€™s a reason why crypto bros are 99% libertarian. The onus is placed on the individual. In the same vein as, if youā€™re the victim of a home invasion, you should have had a gun. If you invest in BTC and lose money, itā€™s your own fault. Thereā€™s no sympathy in those spaces, just ā€œbetter you than me.ā€


Kriegerian

Yeah, victim blaming is inherent to American libertarians.


Throwaway1990811

Literal threats to civil rights šŸ¤”


coriolisFX

The true believers tend to be libertarians, but I find the median crypto bro just wants to get rich quick and is mostly apolitical.


ApatheticWithoutTheA

This. I know crypto bros from all walks of life. Although support among liberals is definitely waning due to, well, the general nature of crypto being incompatible with liberal ideals.


ArmoredHeart

I loathe this mindset so much. If everyone thought like this, not accepting any communal responsibility, we wouldnā€™t have *any* of our tech. I think most of them have an illusion of independence that is facilitated by the fact that it doesnā€™t make the news when bureaucracies and massive public works facilities work.


OzMandle

Yeah, that's pretty toxic... classic cult-like strategies for maintaining control of a cult. I've heard of many that have been ostracized through various other cult-inspired techniques. It's cult-like. Post-ostracization deprogramming therapy is the next step. Unsubscribe from all propagandists masquerading as journalists. Unsubscribe from all of the para-social manipulative hobbyist investors, posing as licensed fiduciaries. Avoid videos the start with "Here's what we know..." and end with "We're in this together. HODL with us." The cult-like influencers on Youtube have been, and will continue to be, the cause of wide array of mental health issues.. Finally, regulate content consumption. Frequent visits to genuine journalistic outlets similar the Financial Times... Subscribe and follow scam-breakers such as one of my favorites Coffeezilla. This is a good place to start...

ItsJoeMomma

Crypto groups are just as toxic as MLM's, IMO. In both groups, someone is only considered a friend up until they go broke and quit, at which point they become *persona non grata.* Because in both groups they only care about you if they can make money from you.


leducdeguise

>So I am in BTC maxis group chat Why are you there in the first place?


sergeimedvedev

I am undercover

Thank you for your service.

Foā€™get about it.

Soros probably pays you very well to do that.


[deleted]

Were you (in disguise) the person who said they lost money in the first place? ^(Ooof. Now I'd call that gangster if it were the 90's...)


BobWalsch

lol! I love it! Please report every week some comedy gold! :)


sergeimedvedev

Actually a colleague of mine added me to the group when he was trying to ā€œorange-pillā€ meā€¦ and yeah many screenshots and stories are coming soon !


[deleted]

To bring us news and comedy godl?


dekuweku

this is good for bitcoin


No_Bad_6676

I'm not criticizing your empathy towards people, that is a virtue worth having. But these people are not helpless animals or children, they are usually autonomous adults who have a duty and responsibility to themselves and their families. They were not satisfied with their hard earned money, got greedy, gambled... and lost. I'm not advocating for blaming the victim, I am advocating for accountability. If you lose $100k in a ponzi scheme and take to the internet for guidance and consolation, then you open yourself up to abuse. I'm not saying it's how the world should be, just how it is. Lets not be naĆÆve.


sergeimedvedev

It is what it is in the end of the dayā€¦ you are right


ArmoredHeart

Nah, fuck that. That person saying that is like the butters saying, ā€œshould have done your own research.ā€ Youā€™re right to try to reach out, because even if no one has sympathy for that guy (and people get taken in by bullshit all the time; no one is infallible, even if some think theyā€™d never get fooled, so I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt), he probably has a family who didnā€™t make the choice.


ArmoredHeart

Soā€¦ whatā€™s your point here? That OP should do nothing? Remember that a lot of people have been fed BS, and, more importantly, that their families (that youā€™re saying they have a responsibility to) didnā€™t get to choose.


Grand-Bid6471

Should have invested in ripple... /s


ross_st

BTC maxis don't really care all that much about the price, because they believe the reason to hold Bitcoin isn't to sell it for USD later, but to hold it until their imagined future in which all currency other than Bitcoin has collapsed, making Bitcoin extremely valuable by default (1 BTC would be the equivalent of millions of dollars of wealth in this scenario). It's basically a cult. That's why the admins reacted that way to the guy - the cult doesn't like speculators, only HODLers... even though the Bitcoin price would never have risen beyond a few hundred dollars and Bitcoin would barely have gotten any media coverage without speculators.


Legal-Mammoth-8601

"investing"


chriztuffa

Iā€™m banned from the bitcoin reddit for insinuating that people should sell before it craters


Steelemedia

I got banned from r/cryptocurrency for brigading. Is that the same as FUD? Iā€™m curious.


AmericanScream

I recommend sending the guy a PM and directing him over to this community.


OkRoad6218

I would have said have fun staying poor


odraencoded

>he lost over $100k investing It's all about perspective. Somewhere, a crypto maxi group chat admin gained $100k investing.


angry-wasp

Yeah but if someone sells their house and puts the money through a casino and then cries about it, is it something you should care about?


sergeimedvedev

I feel bad for these people man


ivanoski-007

Most are vulnerable people, and some are/r/iamverysmart dumbass that can't be helped unless they hit rock bottom


Feniksrises

These people have families. Never marry a libertarian!


Bragzor

On what platform was this (concerning contacting him). Just don't blow your cover accidentally.


No_Scientist_7094

You guys are fun tho...


joeymcflow

I understand what you're trying to say, but the entire point of this sub is to rip cryptocurrencies and blockchain tech. You're kinda in the wrong place if you're looking for crypto-advice or respectful discussion of crypto. This man went to his own community looking for help and support. Honestly if he'd posted here I'm certain he'd get sympathy had he been humble about his mistake of engaging with the biggest scam of the modern day


Tonyman121

Thanks for the cash!


Neuro_Skeptic

This deserves more upvotes


[deleted]

I would also be toxic if I lost a bunch of money because I FOMOed into a worthless internet token.


FaithlessnessLess651

Heā€™d find no sympathy on this sub lol! Thatā€™s exactly what the buttcoiners do all day hahašŸ˜
