Even the best-intentioned cryptocurrencies can become scams. [...] Cryptocurrencies are digital objects with no use cases. Cryptocurrency promoters routinely claim all manner of problems their currency will surely solve—journalism, bananas, dentistry—but they always end up with just another digital white elephant. The only way to make money from a cryptocurrency is to sell it to someone else for more money, and the only way they can make money is to sell it on for even more. It’s a hot potato with a price tag. Once you set up this structure, your system follows the logic of cryptocurrencies—and the worst of humanity moves in to sell people dreams for magic beans. If it’s money and the big guy tells you it’s not about the money, it’s about the money. If he tells you it’s about the fun and not the money, it’s about the money. If he tells you to do fun stuff that involves you putting in your money, but it’s not about the money… it’s definitely about the money. The shibes’ tips of dogecoins to each other didn’t end well, either. The operator of the 2014 dogecoin tipping bot confessed in 2017 that he had stolen all the deposited dogecoins two years earlier. Much sorry, many loss. https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/02/11/dogecoin-how-does-it-work-elon-musk-cry... ...but scammers^W believers gonna believe... ;-) Giacomo
