 Isn’t it interesting, most of us maxi’s at one point or another got scammed and we chose to not get scammed anymore and to not push other people’s scams.

While the OG sh*tcoiners like Yusko and Noregratz have no problem peddling every altcoin for their own gain at other people’s expense.

 And David Bailey with ordinals and other spam on bitcoin sadly. 
Yea, I’ve always wondered what it is that makes some people ruthless and others not.
Like just because you can doesn’t mean you should…

 They think they learnt a lesson once. That may have been they got outsmarted by someone or bullied. Something caused them pain they could not deal with. The coping mechanism is to go out into the world and prove themselves smart and "more than" by cheating "idiots" who by definition must be "less than"

They're just hurt egos. Feel sorry for them.

 Some need to touch the stove, others need to burn down their house. Shitcoin games, shitcoin prizes.

Best to stay away from them and watch the disasters from afar 🙂‍↔️

 Yes, the more they tell you to soften your message the more toxic you should become. 

Fuck them. 

The road to hell is paved with niceties.

 Luckily, I figured out that Bitcoin was the golden child about six months in and didn't get rekt (or bring others down with me). I can't imagine intentionally fucking people over for a little fiat. Alas, having principles comes with the baggage of actually having to be productive for a living.
