Cryptocurrencies are ruining lives. It’s time to call out all the rug pullers, Ponzi punks, ransomware criminals, tax evaders, and slugs who promote this toxic garbage.
HEY, CRYPTO SLINGERS!
1. You invested real money.
2. You bought play money.
3. You dove into an unregulated market.
4. You rejected oversight.
5. You laughed at fiat currencies.
6. You trusted a bunch of slimeballs.
7. You invested with scumbags.
8. You laughed at centuries of proven monetary tradition.
9. You willingly boosted worthless assets constructed entirely upon the “greater fool theory.”
10. You ignored all the warnings.
11. You gambled.
12. You lost.

Do you seriously believe Trump gives a Mar-a-Lago-ratfuck about the party or the country or anything other than himself?
He’s going to be a giant orange shitstain on the living room rug at Christmastime and it’s going to be absolutely glorious watching cowardly Republican candidates have to dance around the stench of him for the next two years.
