   Had a look at the Reddit crypto forums last night because who doesn't love a bit of schadenscrolling. They're still neck deep in Kool Aid, all going, "buy the dip! buy the dip!"

   Guys, the people you are "buying" from keep going to prison for doing a runner to the Caribbean with the money. The only thing you are buying is new yachts for scammers.

   READ THE ROOM. You have been conned. It's not nice to be conned, I get it. A guy once conned me out of 10 quid in front of Kings Cross Station in the 90s and I felt shit about that.

   But you have been. Right now, you are throwing good money after bad. You aren't starting from where you were before you threw all your savings at these crooks. You are starting from now, and you are falling for the sunk cost fallacy.

   You aren't getting your money back. Quit while you're behind. I'm sorry.

     @jaybhatt Yes. Most of us have been saying that for years. Now it’s crashing, but some are desperately hoping that their dreams of unlimited wealth can still be realised. They cannot.

     @goatsarah Yeah I know someone who's well over his head deep in crypto. Despite all the research done on it, refuses to believe that it's the Ponzi scheme that it is. I sure don't want to be the one to tell him "I told you so."

     @kincaid More amused that anyone with a camera phone thinks they're a TV channel these days 😉
