    PT Barnum was wrong. There isn’t a sucker born every minute. There are bunches of suckers born every minute. Like a gushing geyser.

    Good, sometimes idiots need separated from their money. If you bought in to “hawk coin” thinking you were gonna make a quick buck and lost your ass, you played the market and lost. Rub some dirt in it.

    Getting rugged by crypto is already making it impossible for me to not say you deserve it.
    But getting crypto rugged by a 5 second fame industry plant?
    Almost hysterical if it weren’t so depressing.

    When are people going learn that famous people are just that. Nothing more, nothing less. Stop idolising people that achieved F@#oll, besides kardashifying their existence.

      A rug pull is when for example one of these influencers markets and promotes a crypto, “pumping” the value up because people invest, and then immediately sells or “dumps” their share (usually a significant amount) as soon as possible, causing the value to plummet and leaving the other investors holding the bag.

      It’s not to do with her fame not lasting, although I agree anybody with half a brain didn’t invest in this obvious scam lol

    Maybe investments based on five minutes of fame aren’t a great idea. Just sayin. For that we have onlyfans.
