Warning to Shib holders... Vitalik just dumped his entire SHIB holdings onto the market (they sent him half the supply and were using that as marketing, which doesn't seem to have gone down well with Vitalik). Things are gonna get messy
I had a lot of trouble with my ex-Mrs when someone tried to sign her up for Herbalife.
Back then it was run as a Pyramid Scheme, the person at the induction tried to get her to buy about £1k worth of stock and she was encouraged to form her own team to sell the products on to for about a 3% profit.
She had been swayed by pictues of impending Celebrity Lifestyle and untold riches. It took me about 3 days to talk her out of it and she didn't speak to me for about a week and said I lacked ambition.
About a year later they were exposed and they had to make wholesale changes to their sales techniques. Jen (her new best mate) had stopped phoning her by then and had changed her number - Finally (and begrudgingly) the penny had dropped.
No one is forcing anyone to buy $hitcoins or any other coins for that matter, neither are they being encouraged to re-sell. Those gullible enough to be swayed by the hype on Twitter or Reddit deserve to get fleeced because there are enough warnings out there IF you choose to read them.
Thing is, what u are saying Boris, it's seemed like common sense to most posters on this thread since forever. Same thing with ponzi schemes. Doge I'd never touch and never have but it is never a ponzi 😅
Some of the posts I've read last few days have made me understand some are gonna have a harsh reality check in the future for failing to see the red flags. No warning some people. It's as if they don't understand people don't care if they lose it all.

Congratulations, two people who can only think of the exact definition of a pyramid scheme and their brains won't allow them to develop that ideology any further into how that would evolve in the cryptocurrency space.

Think if you keep messing around with coins like doge you'll get burned eventually, but I think most people are prepared for that and if you're up overall it doesn't really matter to most

What a bunch of touchy doge investors.
🤷🏿♂️
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I actually think I'd rather have a group of doge investors on my quiz team than u 😅 that says it all. Your ponzi mess and calling people doge investors is pretty cringe.
People are being polite but u keep digging. If u can make money without you directly selling more of it IT ISN'T A PONZI. If people are dumping/pumping doge that isn't a ponzi 😅 that's a high risk gamble.
I think whilst Elon is involved in Doge it’ll always be worth holding a little.
He’s the richest(?) man in the world and an innovator so he could well do something with it. Trouble is he is a huge troll so is just as likely to take the p*ss out of it

I created this thread for people to talk about crypto and it’s for people of all levels of knowledge on the matter.
I will hzve to start removing people from the article which I don’t want to do if I see any more of the above. Crypto is as serious as u want it, and some are just in it for a bit of fun or excitement so let them be.
No more rude comments.
Pyramid schemes of old and today, often occurring with FMCGs such as beauty products that are resold which have no USP/Utility and can be found cheaper on the market with a different brand name/sticker on the bottle cheaper. This type of thing is a classic case study in terms of absolute definitive pyramid schemes.
Now let's examine Doge:
1) No USP
2) No Utility
3) Few at the top getting extremely wealthy
4) Lucky layer (albeit thin) below that manage to make a quick buck and get out but only by reselling a useless asset at a higher price than they originally paid which was already way too high in itself
5) Viral Pumping & Dumping bears SO many similarities to pyramid scheme marketing techniques
Here's some further reading for y'all:

Just by virtue of the fact that I haven't asked two people below me in the pyramid to buy in means its SHAPELOGICALLY not a pyramid scheme.

Well then you are consistent with your views, can't knock that
Another big dump. Tbh I’m getting pretty bearish on crypto. Starting to wonder if $65k BTC was the top
Well, sounds like you are getting bearish on BTC and there is much more to crypto than BTC
There is a decoupling happening as Bitcoin loses dominance but real competitors will emerge much stronger I'm sure.
Tesla have stopped accepting BTC due to environmental worries which seems to have triggered the dump

Just pulled out of a big BNB order I had set to catch a small dip to around $575 because I don't believe this is the bottom for the market, nor the $541 it hit in the last hour, seems like the initial reaction... Plus a big move, one way or another was on the horizon for BTC anyway - I think there will be a delay before a lot more weigh up the risks right now and take profits.
Hope I'm right.
Price chillin' at $605 right now.
Good time to buy.
Haven't figured out what yet though.
