I try to be understanding but I think these crypto currencies are for morons and if you are getting jacked shouldn’t you turn to all the people making money hand over fist with crypto?
I mean I just don’t see this as a hardship case…it’s like saying “hey I barely spent any money but could be really rich help me be really rich while you continue to be poor!”
At the very least anyone helping these people should - if these people are successful- collect the funds they contributed to make it possible plus a 100% premium
Or am I missing something?!?

hutch, you just confirmed why this should be in the "When reality reflects The Onion" thread.
this is right up there with folks who start a crowdfunding campaign to finance their international travels. "going to bali has always been a dream of mine, please help me get there for free instead of earning my way!"
also, 2-bit "influencers" with 500 followers contacting businesses for free stuff in exchange for a promotional post to their followers…
