Bitcoin, all of crypto, is a scam. One huge ponzi scheme with no real value. It's the biggest pump and dump scheme of all time. The bubble will burst and crash the global economy. Even the founders don't want to be recognized. They know.

I would completely ignore all scam shitcoins. Don’t give them any visibility, not even a negative one.

These scam coins are getting crazy.

Someone just shilled me:

- 27 Trillion supply

- No supply cap

- 1 node

- 25% of supply minted in the last 6 months

- 1% of holders own 30%

Nvm. That's the US dollar.
