When I heard about it, I thought of Beanie Babies craze.

Even a wooden nickel can be turned into useful woodchips.

“Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” (Mark 12:17)

Never was it easier to burn your money

Cleverest ’toon of the day, so far, on my feed.

Joke’s on you! I diversified into beaniebabies hedged with tulip bulbs

Unregulated money. What could go wrong?

Taxpayer money to Ukraine – Ukraine sent the money to FTX – FTX sent the money to the politicians.

Nothing to see here.

ROTFLMAOASTC! I love it!

They should have known. Crypto is a scam from the start.

And those with longer memories. The South Sea Bubble, the Tulip Bubbles, Dot Com Bubble and the rest. If it seems too good to be true, it is. The owners and first people in make money, everyone else loses. Like a goldrush, a few strike it rich, but the richest people in the gold field are those selling food and pickaxes.

Growing up, my uncle would always say to me, don’t take any wooden nickels! Somehow, I have a few in my memory box….LOL

I have a feeling that next we’ll hear the Ponzi scam thing about NFTs.

I’m down 50% on the crappy stocks I have…………………..Fortunately, I have some good stocks, too.

Maybe I’m just to old but how does anyone trust ANY crypto schemes. They’re all cons. This guy just got caught.

Does he get the Bernie Madoff Award this year!?

Too bad we’ll never hear him testify. Arrested before talking to Congress. How convenient for the Dems. Usually prosecutors love for suspects to give testimony under oath before pressing charges. The dummies usually indict themselves.

Can you say PONZI? All of them are questionable.

Crazy lying Fox ‘news’ liars say its all the Dems fault.

I feel so sorry for all the celebrities who have lost their shirts over this world-class fraud. Well, no. Not really.

Hector/Squiggles/etc has changed genders?

That FTX guy would have a special place with T rump, if he didn’t get caught.

When a scammer scams a scammer, is it still a scam? / If a cheater cheats a cheater, should the cheater cry? / They all have scams and cheats to ply, but I refuse to buy. / But they all moan and whine and try / To dodge the fact they lied! (Sincere apologies to Robert Burns’ Comin’ Thro’ the Rye.)

For The X-tremely Gullible.

The miracle of unregulated capitalism.

What did Mark Twain say about the $10,000 hunting dog and the $5,000 cats?

(The interwebs credit Warren Buffett with this remark but I swear I read this years ago in one of MT’s works.)

He comes from a reputable family ~ but, I guess there is a black sheep in every family!

A fool and their money are soon parted.

And some wooden heads to buy it.

Bernie Madoff Junior…

At least then you could burn the coin for warmth.

Always hated crypto, mainly because of the gargantuan (so seldom get to use the word) amount of energy wasted mining for it.

There are a lot of gullible people. From the start, crypto currency has been a scam.
