    Big landlord energy.

    My PoS step brother remortgaged his and his now ex-wife's paid off house to go all in on Bitcoin when it was at near 70k. Funny shit, feel bad for the kids.

    So I know as communists we shouldn’t celebrate random normal people becoming impoverished because they made stupid decisions. Even absolute morons and rubes deserve a good life.

    But at a certain point it’s like, come ooooon man. Idk how bad I can feel for you when you do incredibly stupid things that anyone with half a brain including your WIFE has been screaming at you for years is a bad idea. There’s only so much I can care about protecting people from themselves. At some point if you really want to jump off a cliff, consequences be damned, who am I to stop you?

      I think it's a good reality check for communists to see that wealth and investment things like this are scams and that people who have money are not inherently smarter.

      I have a finite amount of energy and I'd rather spend it on people who didn't call me stupid for pointing out crypto as the scam it is.

        It took me a few times reading this to understand, I thought at first you were saying “Reasonable people calling me an idiot for buying crypto just pushed me to buy more!” I’m glad to understand I was wrong

    Another case of "big government" (the divorce court) screwing over "ordinary people" (cryptobros) to satisfy "welfare queens" (his ex). The solution is clearly more free-market capitalism (buying more crypto).
