Idk why anyone wants to play with millions in Crypto like that, it's always going to be a pump and dump system. Sure you can make a chunk here and there if you play your cards right. But it's no savings account.

Absolutely responsible. My on air personalities who have endorsement deals are regulated by the FCC just as much as our radio stations are. They sign agreements annually to guarantee their compliance and take bi-annual training our company requires.

There's an old saying that says a fool and his (or her) money are soon parted. I think the people who started the Ponzi scheme we refer to as crypto currency were counting on that.

I’ve had at least a dozen 1 hour conversations with some very rich (and mostly smart) people about cryptocurrency. It all boils down to, some person you’ve never met and previously never heard of, says it’s worth something cuz he/she says it’s worth cuz he/she says it’s worth something cuz he/she says it’s worth something.
I’m not that smart, but I can tell the difference between something and nothing.

Typical pyramid crapola. The ONLY way I would have ever involved myself in that type of "currency" is quite some time ago when it was possible to mine crypto at no cost or investment. (Other than the rig set up cost)

Yup I had a person I regard as very intelligent, former investment banker, approached me about investing in cryptocurrency. I asked him “do you have any money in cryptocurrency?” He said yes, I asked him how much and he said “well I don’t wanna brag so I’m not gonna tell you”. I think we all know what he was doing

When I first took a look at that CEO, and saw how young and unprofessional he looked among other things, then looked him up, I was like red flag. Was a financial disaster waiting to happen.

Does Trevor Lawrence have an agent? (Rhetorical question ... of course he has an agent.)
Has T.Law fired that bum yet?
Ignorant and awful advice from any agent who goes along with a child-client's wishes to invest in cryptocurrency to be in the 'cool' crowd.
Only fools (or shysters) have been involved in the crypto game ... especially those who think that crypto is really currency. (Crypto is Ponzi-scheme type of 'stock' ... but never a currency.)

Crypto is for trading.

If it’s at a very low value like years ago throwing a few hundred or a few thousand into it was smart. Now? I wouldn’t touch it. Other than potentially daytrading or short short term trading.
I understand the theory behind it. People want an alternative currency. But anything electronic is an epic failure in that category.
You can’t really use it to buy anything. Yes you can do some transactions right now in crypto but it can take days. It’s not a practical form of currency and it’s not even close.
Also, as we have seen with go fund me accounts and PayPal, and now more and more banks and credit cards, anything electronic, the powers that be can take it away from you, especially if they don’t like what you think and what you say!
Other people say, your money is on your phone, so if something happens you always have your money with you. They say you can keep it on a thumb drive. Those don’t work without power and computer networks. If the grid goes down and there’s chaos you can’t buy food from a farmer with crypto.
Before we had money we had barter and we had trade. Watch western movies. That’s economics at its best. The town doctor, lawyer, or blacksmith got paid in chickens or pork or corn or exchanging services. There are actually very good barter networks out there on the Internet right now. It is a growing alternative economy. And it’s nothing new. It’s the OG of commerce. But now because of technology you can do it on a bigger scale easier. But if that technology goes down you still have your contacts and you can still work with people locally.
If you’re looking to invest stay away from the stock market because it’s rigged and always has been. All of that stuff, especially crypto, is rigged! Because people with big pockets, deep pockets, will always manipulate those markets.
The safest way to become a millionaire in America is the way most millionaires have done it, start a business or invest in real estate. Texas, Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, some parts of Georgia, and some parts of Virginia are going to be booming for the next 20 years because of a handful of fundamental reasons. Get involved in real estate folks!
My parents live in Eutawville on Lake Marion. There have been more new houses built in the Utah Ville/Holly Hill area the past two years than the previous 20 years combined! Because Charleston is growing west! Volvo, Mercedes, and other industry coming to lower Dorchester and Berkeley counties. That is now reaching up into lower Orangeburg.
These people are spending hundreds of millions and billions of dollars in infrastructure and capital expenses. The future is here! And it ain’t crypto. It’s owning a small business. It’s getting involved in something revolving around real estate and the housing industry.
As far as hedging against economic collapse? As far as hedging for the future for all the reasons that people like crypto, there’s actually an old fashion solution that is far far safer and will be there when you need it to pay for food and other services. It’s called gold and silver!
Don’t buy coins. Go to Manhattan find a gold and silver dealer buy the tiny little cubes. 99.99% gold and silver. This is the same way smart people buy diamonds. They go to Manhattan to the diamond District. Smart people don’t buy diamonds from jewelry stores. They buy the diamond and have someone else make the ring.
Get a big ### gun safe and put it in your closet or your garage anchored to the floor and keep all your important papers in it and copies of things like your drivers license etc. and little by little buy gold and silver and keep it in your safe. Find someone you can buy it from that is reputable and you can do it by mail.
Forget crypto and all that crap! Unless you’re going to day trade all of that is BS. It will not do what you need it to do if the time comes and you really need it! But white will is gold and silver. It’s been around forever and it will be around forever for this very reason!

I see the Boomers all showed up to comment on stuff they know absolutely nothing about. Some of the comments in here are very similar to saying that because Bernie Madoff happened, Wall Street is a Ponzi scheme. Sure there are Bernie madoffs and there are Ponzi schemes Within Wall Street but to make the overarching statement that Wall Street, in and of itself, is a Ponzi scheme is ignorant at best. There are many many exchanges that are above board and not out to screw their clients.

(OK, despite my post, I disagree with Lowcntry_Tiger's post with respect to some aspects of the stock market, but the large majority of what he had written was very good advice.)

National currencies (or economic regional currencies such as the Euro) have bad risks (such as you had pointed out ... inflation due to poor gov't policies).
But compared to Crypto, these national currencies are gold itself.
Crypto is a scam / pyramid scheme which attracts people who are either scam artists themselves or fools (of many different varieties).

You mean like the USD?

[ in reply to Re: TNET: Trevor Lawrence named among celebrities in FTX crypto lawsuit ] |

It hasn’t been backed by anything since Nixon took it off the gold standard in 1972. And if the system comes crashing down, no one will be able to get anything from FDIC.
The US Dollar is a centralized currency controlled by the central bank “group” .. and they call all the shots that affect the currency (inflation, etc.).
In fact the Federal reserve system that prints the money is not a federal agency… it is privately owned by entities outside our country. They print money out of thin air, which causes inflation … and we pay interest on that money to “whoever” owns that system.
Crypto currencies are decentralized which means there is not one entity that controls the currency.
Both of these currencies are only as valuable as the the faith people have in them… which may not be much.
As another poster mentioned, gold and silver is tangible and what I believe has real intrinsic value.

Any legitimate entity that would 'insure' Crypto would have charged what amounts to Mafia type insurance premium rates for their insurance services.
More likely, any insurer of Crypto never had the capital reserves to pay out any 'lost a lot of money on Crypto investment' claims.
... or, the payout for any Crypto claim was set at pennies to the dollar, and only in the case that Crypto went completely bankrupt and therefore out of 'circulation.'
Fat chance that Trevor will get anything more than peanuts for the millions that he put into Crypto.

I'm not defending the general moral or intellectual nature of advertising . . . it's a psychological game and many dummies fall for it, but it's not unclear what it is. Naming those guys as defendants is some sort of attempt at 4d PR chess or something, but legally it's a joke.

Some off us have known for a long time that crypto was the plan/currency of the NWO and Great Reset...it was the plan of the NWO to enslave the people using crypto/cashless system that could and would track people - for many reasons, but primarily to have complete control over our lives. Those of us who have known what's been going on - globally - for years now knew that crypto would fully tank as the white hats are slowly exposing the deep state's plan of world domination, control, and enslavement.
Trevor likely had no idea of any of this, his agents probably set up deals for him, etc...that said, some did and do, and they will all pay the price. Just like every person that pushed the highly deadly experimental jab. Their punishment will be the public outcry for their execution, rejection from society, etc...as the People come to know that they "knowingly and purposefully" pushed and promoted a deadly experimental jab as "safe and effective"; allthewhile fully aware that it was nothing but a mass depopulation event.
Watch and see. (it's already unfolding, just many still don't realize as they STILL pay attention, let alone believe anything, and I mean anything they see on TV. Sadly this/that is exactly how this is to play out, the only way you can wake the sheeple up is to show them that their brainwashing and programming by their TV is now the reason their lives are in grave danger.

I think that none of the athletes or celebrities new what they were endorsing. Their management companies perhaps should have done a better job researching the company before they signed their client to it. Are they going to sue all the politicians who allowed this to happen and the ones who received millions and millions of Dollars from The crypto company.
Sounds like Lawyers trying to get rich!
Lawyers and politician’s… they cause most of the problems

I think there is some liability here. Gonna be rough for those people but they signed up for a ponzi scheme and didn’t know it. My wife and I talked about this all the time because we are insurance agents. Crypto is just a made up idea that has no true intrinsic value. People argue bitcoin might be but all these side tokens like sushi and lite coin and I’ll make one up…. Dabo coins. Let all get behind dabo coins. At least we know it would be backed by 2 nattys and a moral compass. Way better than Ftx tokens

At worst these celebs being targeted will just have to give back the endorsement money. Hard to hold them responsible for fraud by the company.
