 "The more broke they are, the less trouble they're capable of" 😬🤷‍♂️

Nevermind that the premise of what's a ponzi here is backwards, this level of blissful ignorance is quite scary

 Ponzis eventually collapse and go to zero, and they deeply believe bitcoin is a ponzi, so they also believe bitcoiners will end up broke. Any day now.

 The irony is, if you try to tell a normie that the govt & central bank are essentially Charles Ponzi, and bitcoin by design doesn't rely on those, their brains short circuit. 🤷‍♂️

We'll get there though, eventually.
