		capableweb on Feb 7, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Yes, Crypto Is All a Scam If you want to sell me a Bitcoin with the promise that I'll be able to sell it for more in the future, then that'd be a scam. But if you just sell it to me without any promise of future profits, would it still be a scam in that scam? None the less, it does sound like Bitcoin itself is not a scam in this scenario, but rather there are scammers who use Bitcoin to perform their scams. Not that Bitcoin itself is a scam. Would that be correct?

And the two of us got into the exchange how? I was silent about Bitcoin and you found out about it through ether? :)

I made no hints whatsoever about it?
