“No Ponzi schemer tells anyone exactly how it works. The purpose of a Ponzi scheme is to trick people, to take the money and run.” - Mitchell Zuckoff Charles Ponzi’s actual birth name was Carlo Pietro Giovanni Guglielmo Tebaldo Ponzi.

I don't get how, in our modern environment, more people aren't pursuing physical things in local communities. There's so much chaos and instability.

Foreign war
Domestic unrest
Pension issues
Repo market
Oil prices
Supply lines
Fires, food, drought, storms, etc
Dollar reserve status
I mean, the percentage of these problems occuring is above 0. So what if tax code incentivizes you to invest in stocks, real estate, etc. At this point, there's plenty of disruptive, one to five man businesses popping up that could use cash, that would likely be willing to take investors if you went through the effort. Yes, it's harder, it's messier, but when national and global stuff breaks down, wouldn't having a few local investments be worth it?

My thoughts exactly. I'm expecting BTC to top out within a few months and I'll be getting out of it and most of my other cryptos, while hoping the nature of the "proprietary secrets" of Tether stays secret for that long. Maybe I'm a fool. Every speculator thinks he can get out near the top.
Celsius?...
