Isn’t this the model Capitalist?
It doesn’t matter what they offer. It doesn’t matter what they build. It doesn’t matter if it’s real or not. It doesn’t matter if it is beneficial or not. It doesn’t matter if it is ethical or not. It doesn’t matter if it is moral or not. It doesn’t matter if it is respectful or not.
All that matters is that it made money.
That is the sign of a true Capitalist.
Congratulations on winning that contest.
dared to falsely report 300% revenue for investors
I mean, they specifically didn’t make as much money as they claimed to make, so no. That’s pretty much the one mortal sin you can actually commit as a capitalist - accept the capital of other capitalists under false pretenses and then fail to generate returns on their investments.
They play the game as long as possible.
It’s like a religion at this point in history.
If you have enough people who blindly believe in the whole thing, no matter how absurd, everything continues to grow and expand. Once enough people lose faith, then the whole system comes crashing down.
Model growth company right there. They forgot the block chain and some NTFs, then everything would surely have worked out…
