My grandma messaged me about a politician who had been talking about crypto. She and I had had some discussions about crypto, including at $16K when I was pitching her a buy-in and I guess she’s been doing some research. She claimed that the politician, who has been very open about his appreciation for Bitcoin and crypto, had apparently been advocating for some other crypto (red flag #1).”Just saw him talking about this. Are you investing in it?” she said.She didn’t specify what and I was a little confused, so I messaged her back and asked for the link. She gave me a link to this:
That right there is a hilarious, bold-faced scam staring you in the face. This douchebag amazing person managed to convince my little old granny that maybe one of the young voices in Canadian politics was backing a new crypto trading bot and that the bot was the perfect investment.
F.
Frankly, I’m not sure this is a real scam. It’s so out to lunch, maybe it’s either satire (or simply the greatest investment I’ve ever seen (/s)) or maybe it’s one of those generous billionaires I’ve heard of that print scams so obvious that they double and return the money to anyone who falls for it because of how innocent the “investors” are. Maybe we should all go out and buy some Bit Index AI! jk
Tldr: Senior citizens, although clueless and easily duped, surely still serve some kind of purpose in some other venue, I assume. (I of course jest and also love my grandma but my heaven this is a hilarious whiff on her part! Maybe I’m too grizzled to be confused but I’m also glad she came to me with this instead of going ahead and losing my inheritance lol)
