What the ruck are those chairs? Prison bus?

And that’s why I never got into crypto.

All those poor people who bought bitcoin and enjoyed a historically massive return on their investment.

The fools.

Money doesn't grow on trees. It came from the people who lost, or the people who are still in it

I don't think there's any hope for the people who are still in it. This 4-year cycle has already been quite disappointing than the previous ones, and there's no reason for things to improve from here

It came from the people who lost, or the people who are still in it...

What are you talking about? You think gold or silver had to be "lost" in order to have value? No, that's not where value comes from. All of you are speaking like you've never heard of an economy.

Cryptocurrency is an expanding currency market.

Just like gold, just like credit, just like stocks and bonds forex and futures.

As the market gets bigger and more people believe/invest/rely on it, the share one owns of a more valuable market gains value.

This 4-year cycle...no reason for things to improve from here.

More gibberish; there are plenty of reasons for crypto currency to continue to gain value.

  1. National governments are creating digital cryptocurrencies.

  2. Adoption of cryptocurrency is growing constantly.

  3. Governments are investing heavily in existing cryptocurrencies.

  4. There's no functional difference, other than more recent and having more capabilities between cryptocurrencies and the "credit" system that everybody accepts as "normal".

There's every reason for a successful market to continue being successful while it has adoption, investment, development and use.

Yes, even a new market(as all markets once were).

Well they enjoyed a historical return off of the people who bought too late. It's not like their money spawned out of nothing. They sold their bitcoin to someone who hasn't been as lucky, because they bought when the price was at its highest, ind the hopes that the price would continue to climb.

It's pretty much a zero-sum game. For someone to earn something on crypto, someone else has to be left either losing something, or holding onto something in a desperate hope that the price will explode again.

Cars are for people with money. Poor people are taking the bus. Nobody should be taking public transit unless they're poor, or have a DUI or something. If you're sitting in a bus, you're obviously a loser.

The downvotes are a reminder of how important it is to denote sarcasm with a '/s' because clearly it went over some heads.

[–] glibg10b@lemmy.zip 4 points 44 minutes ago (1 children)

The lack of upvotes are a reminder of how it wasn't funny

[–] Deme@sopuli.xyz 3 points 29 minutes ago

Was it supposed to be? I think it's a good critique of the meme for equating public transit with a lack of financial wealth.

"And remember to vote for [fascist party of my country] in the next elections!"

There, you forgot the last part of your message.
