I try to be understanding but I think these crypto currencies are for morons and if you are getting jacked shouldn’t you turn to all the people making money hand over fist with crypto?


I mean I just don’t see this as a hardship case…it’s like saying “hey I barely spent any money but could be really rich help me be really rich while you continue to be poor!”


At the very least anyone helping these people should - if these people are successful- collect the funds they contributed to make it possible plus a 100% premium

Or am I missing something?!?
