> He’s “just playing around” with peoples’ life savings

Not sure how much sympathy people putting their life savings into DogeCoin deserve, on the grand total diligence of a tweet no less.



It's tempting to look at everyone engaged in these shitcoins as greed-obsessed lessers who are about to receive a comeuppance of biblical proportions when this inevitably tanks.

But looking past that, who to you has the greater responsibility in this moment? The gambler who can't stop until he/she loses everything? Or the knowledgeable CEO that runs 2 companies, and yet can't stop himself from messing with people that don't know any better?


I think it's pretty reasonable to assign responsibility to both. We don't make gamblers whole again just because casinos are predatory.
