Buttcoin is the future of online butts. Buttcoin is a peer-to-peer butt. Peer-to-peer means that no central authority issues new butts or tracks butts.

A community for hurling ordure at cryptocurrency/blockchain dweebs of all sorts. We are only here for debate as long as it amuses us. Meme stocks are also on topic.

How many times are people going to fall for this? Someone launches a new crypto and hypes it up, a bunch of random people buy into the hype, prices take a huge nose dive, repeat ad nauseam.

Because there will always be a new naive generation (aside from those severely mentally ill), a share of people will ALWAYS fall for it. Every year, new people will fall for it

So don't be surprised, be informed.

I mean, with all due respect, mostly these memecoins aren't promoted by presidents of countries with sized economies as investment opportunities.

Well, these were most likely Milei's voters, so what could you expect?

They dug up a guy from the 70s to run the country.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago

Might be an 80s guy. He should remember to fix his boneitis though

Is it a rug pull if it was only ever a way to funnel Russian money into Milei's pocket? I don't think average folks fall for grifts like this, or Trump's meme coin. It's just a new way to bribe people.

Like, in days past, they'd have just donated a bunch of money to Milei's charitable organizations that would turn around and pay Milei exorbitant speaking fees.

That's really weird. I've heard that his economy reforms are actually working.

That's weird. I've heard you were a spambot.

Libra

could have sworn that this was the zuckcoin that was making the rounds a few years ago. I looked it up, they rebranded to “diem” due to legal issues before cancelling it altogether.

Libra-now-Diem, yeah. it was a full-on attempt to take the reins of value transmission and storage ("be the economy, be the bank"), beyond just coin

(also written about by david (which I haven't read (yet?) because handwave all my usual things on fire))

This guy looks like a 1950s Argentina’s politician who time travelled to 2025

[–] OutsiderInside@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

50s was a good time for politics, until we fell for a militar coup in 55, where civilians were bombarded by our own airforce.

Lolololol you’re way too brown for 400 million Americans to make room on the Mars Arkkk for you. It only seats three - Elon, the kid, and the sperm in Dons seat.

Argentina is a Trump (Americans) toady just like the Nazis. Also apparently a whore for people who approve Naziism to make money with crypto.

[–] Soyweiser@awful.systems 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You sound crazy and you use anti sexworker language ( after some racist language). Nothing you say has to do with the article linked. Also weirdly conspiratorial tone. Not a fan of that.

[–] self@awful.systems 0 points 1 year ago

yeah, this is nothing but red flags
