    How did my hypothetical, rhetorical question lead to the conclusion I’m one of those idiots…?

      You seem confident that you can profit from memecoin rugpulls without being an insider. You’d only be an idiot if you tried to pull it off with money you can’t afford to lose.

        My question to start with was pretty specific. If somebody had bought in at the start on the ground floor, weren’t they pretty much guaranteed a profit, now that all these shenanigans are ongoing? You seem to have turned that into me advocating for crypto and memecoins in general.

          Not crypto in general. Memecoin rugpulls, which is what this whole post is about.

          The overwhelming majority of people who buy that shit lose their money. You’re saying that’s easy to avoid. If it’s so easy, why are they all getting scammed?

            How many memecoins have foreign billionaires dumping millions of dollars into them on a regular basis?

            I’m not saying all memecoin releases are safe. I’m saying if you got in on this particular one at the start, now that trump is using it to launder bribes, you might be fine. Or if not, what makes you think so. Jeez, how hard is it to follow the thread of the conversation?

              Ah, now I see what you mean. I agree with you then.

              Jeez, how hard is it to follow the thread of the conversation?

              Well, you kind of made it hard to follow. You started mentioning “the nature of crypto”, which gave your comment a general scope, not just the TRUMP memecoin. Then you kept talking about hypotheticals, reinforcing the generality of the conversation. Forgive me for thinking we were talking about memecoins in general. You also seem to have missed that I was talking in general.
