Topic: Will we get fooled again? (Read 1829 times)
If you're earning wages and paying into social security,
you're already getting fooled. The con is just longer,
but the basic principle is exactly the same.

mind=blown.
I hadn't thought of it in those exact terms before. I knew SSI was BS, but I hadn't made a connection to it being an actual Ponzi. That's exactly what it is, though, isn't it? If obligations are paid with later deposits, that's a damn Ponzi.
Hey... I don't suppose you can cash out all your SSI benefits all at once?
welcome to the red pill brother
Oh, I took that a long time ago. My issues with SSI were just coming from a different angle. Realizing that it is not only a government program I'm forced to pay into but a government Ponzi that I'm forced to pay into was just a little shocking.
Social security is not a ponzi, the money is invested in bonds, that generate real returns, and pays out using those returns. It may end up to be in deficit due to unrealistic promises and mis-calculation, and require government intervention (for example raising the retirement age, as they have done before), but it is not a ponzi.

It's all part of a maturing free market.

anyone who believe 7% weekly, deserve to lose their money. Heck I'd be extremely happy with stable no risk 7% annually.
I feel bad for those who lost money here. It appeared an obvious scam to me so I never went anywhere near it. I can't really understand why other people were sending this guy money. I see this kind of stuff all over the place, even the the Nigerian money transfer scams must have some victims or no-one would be trying them.
Hopefully some people learned something out of this.
Will it happen again? Most certainly.
thanks for the OP link
motherfuckers had it goin' on

Cool, good to see someone else also vote for "I have no clue."

Yes. People here will get fooled again, probably in exactly the same way, and in all likelyhood, involving some of the same people.
Eventually, some of these people will get tired of all the blatant scanning and leave, only to be replaced by a new set of rubes.
And the circle of life continues.

Picked "pirate will suddenly repay" for the lulz, but I gotta be honest: In the early days, there were open ponzis running, and people should have learned then what they look like. People don't pay attention in class, whose fault is it when they suddenly need to know when and where the trains will meet?
Another big site will go down within a year. Mark my words.
Of course people will be connned again. Maybe not via the same means and maybe not to the same extent but bit coin makes it very easy for an individual to be parted from their money!

Yup , there's already a thread promising %15 a week. Supposedly already 7000 BTC invested.
I think that thread's just a joke haha.
But this other guy seems much more trustworthy. /s

The future generation of bitcoiners a decade from now will join the economy and someone will promise them 7% a week. Us older bitcoiners will tell them the legend of th man name Pirate who stole all our money. They won't listen to us old farts.
This will happen in about a week.
Wait no, it's happening already.
