I like the balls on the CEO of Celsius calling out people for saying they can not withdraw right before they lock down withdraws...

Classic run on the bank scenario. And the bank behind all of this is not secured or even worse, so it makes sense.

One of his recent retweets is also hilarious:

"#Bitcoin lows around these levels lining up with previous lows as time-relative to previous halvings.

Previous halving cycle shows a mini parabolic breakout from the lows.

Chart shows a regularity and logic for the ongoing macro bull."

The amount of pseudo-science bullshit is mind boggling.

Only an idiot thinks past performance equals future performance in markets. The ARKK out front should have told you

Plenty of idiots are happy to invest in crypto. A very common sentiment in crypto ads is "$100 invested into crypto in 2012 would be $zilliard today. Invest today, and tomorrow you'll be rich too!"

Frankly that not too atypical to regular chartist's talk. Draw some lines on some charts and make up a whole story. To give the cryptoists some credit, there's no fundamentals in cryptos so they have to use the only other tools available aka tea leaves.

How do these fine folks sleep at night?

Because they've been getting obscenely rich. It's amazing what making loads of money can do to one's morals.

In extremely soft beds in rooms that the people they're defrauding will never ever be able to afford.

Or reach.

It's probably hard to sleep after all the cocaine they take tbh.
