      Well they enjoyed a historical return off of the people who bought too late. It’s not like their money spawned out of nothing. They sold their bitcoin to someone who hasn’t been as lucky, because they bought when the price was at its highest, ind the hopes that the price would continue to climb.

      It’s pretty much a zero-sum game. For someone to earn something on crypto, someone else has to be left either losing something, or holding onto something in a desperate hope that the price will explode again.

        No, they enjoyed the return of investing in a new asset class that is growing larger every week, month and year.

        Cryptocurrency is a currency and a resource. It’s as much a zero-sum game as gold, stocks, real estate or credit cards, and all those sums are dynamic as he’ll.

      Money doesn’t grow on trees. It came from the people who lost, or the people who are still in it

      I don’t think there’s any hope for the people who are still in it. This 4-year cycle has already been quite disappointing than the previous ones, and there’s no reason for things to improve from here

    Cars are for people with money. Poor people are taking the bus. Nobody should be taking public transit unless they’re poor, or have a DUI or something. If you’re sitting in a bus, you’re obviously a loser.

      The downvotes are a reminder of how important it is to denote sarcasm with a ‘/s’ because clearly it went over some heads.

          Was it supposed to be? I think it’s a good critique of the meme for equating public transit with a lack of financial wealth.
