a few gullible dipshits = "the world", apparently

If it in the billions territory, it will absolutely have fallout for the less well off and the scammees include like farmers in Africa. Also I appreciate reading about clueless millionaires and consider it a social good that they get written about.

I just don't like the framing of cryptocurrency scams as a phenomenon no one could have predicted. Media plays a huge role in hyping up these scams with uncriticial coverage, and some people will inevitably invest because they get the impression they have to jump on the bandwagon or lose out on an opportunity.

I take back the "dipshits", though. I didn't realise the extent of the scam, and it's not fair of me to be judgemental towards people who lack impulse control.
