@DarkEmi @hatshepsut and all others.
Sorry to put you up front with the hard truth, buth...
Rule #1: Don't invest money you cannot afford to lose.
I am pretty sure iam not the first one that tells you this right?
Blame the victim is never a good argument.
Will you say the same to those who will experience a loss once pirateat40 runs?
In general, yes.
BUT, with ponzi schemes this is a bit different. Coz some of the "victims" are more like co-conspirators.
I can remember you not being that sympathetic towards the victims of the MyBitcoin incident (you basically
called them insane). What made you change your mind?
I still think anyone who gives lots of money to some anonymous stranger on the internet for safekeeping is insane. I do not blame them for the theft however. These are different things. And.. well... insane in Bitcoin (and on this forum) is like a wast majority of population anyway, so this might be even a compliment.
Ok, in that case I don't see how Grouver
blamed the victims any more than you did back then? You both more or less pointed out that they shouldn't have put (that much) money there in the first place - which I basically agree with, but saying so now isn't really helping either.
While I didn't have anything on Bitcoinica, I feel very sorry for all those who have lost money and I hope that the real thief won't get away with it.
