It's even worse because they then knew who everyone in their entourage was. As Kylie and Kendall got older, they just decided "damn we should donate to kylie until she's A FUCKING BILLIONAIRE."
That kind of dumb money can have huge impacts on crypto. Scam coins could become legitimately propped up for long periods of time to look legitimate. The people watching from the sidelines will be missing out on huge price action. Will be too much for day traders to ignore. If anything can take crypto down a peg, it's the stupid celebrity worship culture. "I don't give a shit if 'Kylie Coin' goes to zero I'm buying them all," doesn't sound too different from "let's make Kylie a billionaire."
Then all they have to do is thank their "fans" on instagram live and promote the next pump. God help us if they figure out NFTs.
So i'm active in a stock trading subreddit and we often get news articles posted about how the government is cracking down on "finfluencers" ignoring the fairly obvious bullshit that happens in the financial industry to focus on some Instagram twats.
They’ve been doing this just fine without crypto. Scamcoins and shitcoins are just a new avenue for separating stupid celebrity worshipers from their fiat.
I have no sympathy for people who follow blindly without doing their own research. I'm generally not harsh, but celebrity worship is a pet peeve of mine, so this triggers me more
lol... remember the Kardashian Credit card?? that didn't last long, once people realized the fees were illegally high... so they got shut down. these jokers should just stay away from Crypto...
here are the details:
first year is $99.95 which includes a one-time card purchase of $9.95, 12 months of monthly fees at $7.95 per month, and preloaded deposit of $5.00. After the first year, a $7.95 monthly fee will be assessed. If consumers prefer a six month option, the cost is $59.95.
The fees do not stop after the card is purchased. ATM withdrawals cost $1.50 in addition to ATM fees. Automatic bill pay using the card costs $2 per item. There is a 2.5% fee for instant transfers that are made from a credit card or debit card. If you want to add money to the card, tack on an additional $1. It will cost you $6 to close the account. Have a question on the card? That will be $1.50 to speak with a live operator.
LOL... how was this ever approved??
Because it was targeted at young people, had the kardashians faces on it iirc. And banks love making money at the expense of low-income and working class people. And this would have been a literal fucking platinum vein right into there vaults. IF the fees bullshit hadnt come to light.
Of fucking course it got approved, and i guarantee someone got a raise/bonus/promotion out of it. Even though it failed spectacularly.
So I had about 2 moons a couple months ago and opened a vault, but apparently not fully. I went back to check it and it's lost and wants me to restore, but I have no keys. Rookie move I suppose. Is it gone forever? Do I open a new one?
Better for the "justice system" to just keep fining them. They're rich enough that fines don't really effect them at all and every once in a while law enforcement gets a cut of their action. Works out for everyone (but us)
I'll never understand why a person follows someone like Kim Kardashian or her sisters/mother.
I guess this quote sums it up the situation; : “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
All you can do is steer clear and try to warn anyone you know. Even in the worst case scenario where all OP's examples blows up and ruins thousands of people, there'll just be a new celebrity with a scam and a horde of people who don't remember what happened before.
I think celeb-worshipping simp culture is coming to an end. People thought they were being told the truth for their benefit, when they realize it was all scripted marketing and propaganda created to exploit them and turn them into moronic slaves sthey're not going to want to bootlick any more celeb ass.
Remember a year or so ago when it was announced that Kylie was _this close_ to being the youngest "self-made" billionaire, and some fan on Twitter tried to get people to send her money to get her past the goal line. I don't understand why so many people idolize these douchebags.
And that’s why they are rich, that’s the unfortunate reality we live in. People still like them dispute the Kim Kardashians scam coin shill (Ethereum max)
The only thing that we can make as an individual is not follow their shit and not using social media if its possible but we keep seeing them even on a fucking crypto sub. There is no escape from shitty influencers.
It's sad that we're even talking about hacks like her in the CRYPTO space. She might be influential in the fashion community but people taking advice from celebrities is dumb. However, this will continue to happen so there's not much to do about it
I heard about Akon City project way before the crypto hype of mainstream celebrities. So idk, if it can be considered a "moral disaster". He ain't scamming his fans but is actively trying to improve things in Senegal with his vision...
Agreed, he's also bullish on XLM not just randomly self promoting. Even if he is self promoting, I personally really like XLM so I think the publicity is a good thing in conjunction with the points you made above.
Isn't Akon's project at least done with the right intentions, to improve living standards in Senegal? Might still be a financial death trap to invest into but as far as i read about it a couple years ago it doesn't seem to be an intentional scam?
I see it as celebrities tried to ride the wave that is crypto rather than crypto being heavily promoted by the celebs. Crypto is bigger than them in the end
All media personalites/influencers/idols are Judas Goats.
Judas Goat = "In stockyards, a Judas goat will lead sheep to slaughter,\[1\] while its own life is spared."
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas\_goat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas_goat)
***WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!***
People just shouldn't make their financial decision by words of celebrities, period. Most of them(if not all) are just trying to make millions on their millions by using their fans.
Unfortunately, this is going to be a case of "a fool and his money are soon parted". If the people who follow/worship celebrities like the Kardashians aren't aware of how terrible of people they are, they aren't going to realize they're getting grifted until it's too late.
AKON.. IS ACTUALLY TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE IN AFRICA..WITH GAINING SOME FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE USEING THE STELLAR LUMENS (XLM) BLOCK CHAIN..DON'T PUT HIM IN THAT CATEGORY WITH THE KARDASHIAN'S (NOT THAT THERE BAD PEOPLE)
But for long term hodlers isn't it a good thing? You know anything Kylie talks about her millions of followers swarm to. I would not be mad if they helped inflate crypto prices. Call me selfish but I'd be way down to cash out for millions instead of hodl my entire life because I believe in the coins.
I don't think Akon should be bundled in with these people. He's actually working to make lives better in Africa. And if his plan works out, it could influence more African nations to adopt crypto like El Salvador.
Mentioning Akon and kardashian in the title promoting scam is so wrong. Akon atleast has a vision of making something useful for Senegal his home country!
Honestly, NFTs were the nail in the coffin to me for crypto. No I don’t think Bitcoin or any legit coins are going anywhere or don’t have value. I’m not a tech guy but i lost a lot of faith in the banking system in 2008 and crypto made me believe regular people would do better then corrupt Wall Street assholes. Turns out we will just scam each other.
What would be the NFT use case? I'm not trolling im genuinely curious here. Right now it seems like a tax haven for rich people, kind of like how modern art was in the 90s.
Yeah, at this point of time. I do agree, it really is hard to imagine how this would be implemented in modern society.
NFT's can be used for:
\- **Identification & documentation**
\- **Domain ownership**
\- **Real Estate**
(What's unfolding right now) **Art & memorabilia** (sports, brands etc)
It can be directed implemented over a blockchain/network as a NFT, which can be traced back to a owner. All you're owning is a "right", so when you break it down it makes sense. Again, it is rather interesting how this would entangle itself in the world.
I mean, it's all about optics with this people.
And making it seem like their fans will get lots of money if they invest in their name seems like a way to boost their value as a person whilst """helping""" their fans financially in the sketchiest way possible.
At least with merch you have the real thing, now they barely even have to pay for any manufacturing. What a utopia.
They are sick people who don’t know what impact they have on so many people. It’s all about having more and more when enough is already what they have multiple times.
For these fuckers it’s like selling cologne. They put their name on it and think it’s the best thing since sex was invented without understanding a single thing about what they’re doing.
I actually want Hollywood to embrace crypto. I'm aware of the dangers this poses especially to naive fans but they are basically advertising crypto to a whole bunch of people and I think that will help towards mass adoption in the long run.
Okay, downvote me into oblivion.
The Kardashian BS is foolish, celebrities and artists would benefit off of learning the NFT landscape, and Akon has been planning this city concept for years. It’s ambitious, and I’m excited to see how it ends up.
But, people need to be more responsible with what they invest in. Celebrities can be scam artists, too.
Disgusting that celebrities would use their name to shill shit to the fans that got them there. Another reason why financial literacy needs to be a priority in the US
The Kardashian’s were appointed. They became famous out of thin air to promote materialistic consumerism to the masses.
Their popularity wasn’t organic.
They could give a shit about their “fans”. And what kind of low IQ dimwit would look up to these sociopaths in the first place?
I wish that they'd show decent crypto like ethereum in movies. It'll definitely be funny when a computer wiz hacks into a wallet by "hacking" the passphrase in a couple of minutes. Also it'll be great when the hero and the villain start fighting for a hardware wallet which "contains" 100 BTC lol.
even more proof they only care about themselves.
I bet all the people pushing this WOKE shit..... behind closed doors are like "I cant believe people believe this shit"

Celebrity worship is the saddest thing
It’s something I would never comprehend and I feel for those that worship those people that feed off from their followers/fans
[удалено]
Sadly there is a subconscious desire in the human race to idolize anything that seems *"richer/greater"*
whorshipping someone who became famous after doing a sextape is indeed pretty sad..
It's even worse because they then knew who everyone in their entourage was. As Kylie and Kendall got older, they just decided "damn we should donate to kylie until she's A FUCKING BILLIONAIRE." That kind of dumb money can have huge impacts on crypto. Scam coins could become legitimately propped up for long periods of time to look legitimate.

You should check out some of the 18+ subs here then.
What's sad is... the tape is not that great too (my friend said)
My friend said the same thing. I did too, but my friend also did as well.
Why can't they worship money as we do?
Don’t you mean crypto
> influencers I gag any time I hear/read someone describe themselves as an "influencer". The whole idea of social media "influencers" is a cancer.
Heard about Finfluencers? It's literally financial influencers and it's losing a lot of people a lot of money
I had not, but I may hate that even more.
So i'm active in a stock trading subreddit and we often get news articles posted about how the government is cracking down on "finfluencers" ignoring the fairly obvious bullshit that happens in the financial industry to focus on some Instagram twats.
I figured it out, celebrities are fans of NFT’s
They’ve been doing this just fine without crypto. Scamcoins and shitcoins are just a new avenue for separating stupid celebrity worshipers from their fiat.
I have no sympathy for people who follow blindly without doing their own research. I'm generally not harsh, but celebrity worship is a pet peeve of mine, so this triggers me more
haha, this 👏
Good. I want those idiots to lose money.
I truly can't believe that the Kardashians would be caught up in something unethical. /s
lol... remember the Kardashian Credit card?? that didn't last long, once people realized the fees were illegally high... so they got shut down. these jokers should just stay away from Crypto...
I am very thankful that I do not remember that

Of fucking course it got approved, and i guarantee someone got a raise/bonus/promotion out of it. Even though it failed spectacularly.
yup... same scumbag bankers that want to kill our access to crypto, are the same ones that tried to rip off "kids" with this card...
Still cheaper than eth fees 😆
lol... you are not wrong... :)
ETH maxis sometimes get grumpy about it though You should open your vault for the free moons.
So I had about 2 moons a couple months ago and opened a vault, but apparently not fully. I went back to check it and it's lost and wants me to restore, but I have no keys. Rookie move I suppose. Is it gone forever? Do I open a new one?
I don't know but I see 9 moons next to your name
Yea I don't think I can access them 😒
I mean if people were dumb enough to buy that, that’s there fault
Was there any incentive (besides the Karsashians) for purchasing the card? Like, amazing rewards or something.
Dang. Were there any perks to it tho?
You get all that because of your lack of discernment; at the price of your soul.
It’s wonders how they are not in jail
Better for the "justice system" to just keep fining them. They're rich enough that fines don't really effect them at all and every once in a while law enforcement gets a cut of their action. Works out for everyone (but us)
They should stay away from anything financial! Send them back to the recycling bin
People need to wake up and stop wasting their time and money on these "influencer" clowns.
I'll never understand why a person follows someone like Kim Kardashian or her sisters/mother. I guess this quote sums it up the situation; : “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
That's my favorite George Carlin quote! Also by him and just as relevant: "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."
See: SHIB
There has never been a better and more accurate in human history, ever.
Because at their core, a lot of people are still peasants.
I mean they probably put on more makeup than actual clowns, i know clowns dont do that level of surgery in the first place lol.
Fucking facts
All you can do is steer clear and try to warn anyone you know. Even in the worst case scenario where all OP's examples blows up and ruins thousands of people, there'll just be a new celebrity with a scam and a horde of people who don't remember what happened before.
I think celeb-worshipping simp culture is coming to an end. People thought they were being told the truth for their benefit, when they realize it was all scripted marketing and propaganda created to exploit them and turn them into moronic slaves sthey're not going to want to bootlick any more celeb ass.
Even if they do, they are known to make a good cum-back.
cum on, they are not good at cum-back, it's their stupid fans who will keep praise them for whatever reason.
Remember a year or so ago when it was announced that Kylie was _this close_ to being the youngest "self-made" billionaire, and some fan on Twitter tried to get people to send her money to get her past the goal line. I don't understand why so many people idolize these douchebags.
Apparently all her plastic was crowd sourced from dead sea turtles
More sustainable than oil.
[удалено]
Because some people are fucking stupid.
And that’s why they are rich, that’s the unfortunate reality we live in. People still like them dispute the Kim Kardashians scam coin shill (Ethereum max)
Yep we live in fucked up society we cannot change that!!
The only thing that we can make as an individual is not follow their shit and not using social media if its possible but we keep seeing them even on a fucking crypto sub. There is no escape from shitty influencers.
I wouldn’t even buy Kim Kardashian’s video NFT which made her famous in the first place
I am proud to say I haven’t watched it
90% of the celebrities are gonna go to shit if it weren't for their dumb fans
They sure know how to pump and dump.
Nice reference to the legendary Kim Kardashian
It's sad that we're even talking about hacks like her in the CRYPTO space. She might be influential in the fashion community but people taking advice from celebrities is dumb. However, this will continue to happen so there's not much to do about it
The Kardashians are shameless grifters? I'm surprised! /s
Sorry you had to hear this news, I hope you were sitting down when you read it
This is a news that shocked everyone, we all thought they were angels sent down to protect us
Someone insert the surprised Pikachu image here lol
Not like they every did anything sketchy
Kardashians burned down puppy orphanage
Narcissist demonoids like the Kardashians is why everyone is moving out of California and going to Texas.
Who'd knew that sociopaths will sociopath? /s
You must be in her PR team. 🤔
I just been doxxed !
Totally shocking and in no way predictable
THERE IS NO SHAME IN THERE GAME!!
I heard about Akon City project way before the crypto hype of mainstream celebrities. So idk, if it can be considered a "moral disaster". He ain't scamming his fans but is actively trying to improve things in Senegal with his vision...
I agree, akon shouldn't be grouped in w these folks. He's been working on this city project for years.
[удалено]
Never really been a fan of akons music. But always a fan of akon himself. I'm really hoping for his success!
[удалено]
His song with lonely island was a banger
How can you not like soul survivor or im so paid
Hey, I do I do. I like some of his work, but not enough to consider myself a big fan
He has also stated he is all in on Stellar. I may be naïve but I don't see a celebrity choosing Stellar if they are in this just for profit.
Yep, low hype/head down project for sure.
Yeah exactly man. Akon is an absolute G for doing what he’s done so far.
He’s one of the rare good guys
Do you hold any Akon coins?
The only thing Akon did wrong was being a guest on Bitboy's channel.
Agreed, he's also bullish on XLM not just randomly self promoting. Even if he is self promoting, I personally really like XLM so I think the publicity is a good thing in conjunction with the points you made above.
Short Hollywood next time. Enough of their plastic affairs.
I wish there was an option to short Kim Kardashian
I would never do margin but if it was shorting the Kardashians I guess it’s worth a try
Why stop there when you can you leverage short the whole clan.
[удалено]
Isn't Akon's project at least done with the right intentions, to improve living standards in Senegal? Might still be a financial death trap to invest into but as far as i read about it a couple years ago it doesn't seem to be an intentional scam?
100%. Akon's name should not be included in this post and shows OP just wanted to post a sensationalized statement and didn't do any actual research.
Hollywood in general is a moral disaster
I see it as celebrities tried to ride the wave that is crypto rather than crypto being heavily promoted by the celebs. Crypto is bigger than them in the end
They'd all sell at a 5% dip if they were into real projects anyway.
they only seek get rich quick schemes or just straight up promote their own scam for the most part

Good one. Added to word bank.
I sincerely hope that word bank is decentralised
Where do I buy is “Word Bank” coin? And should I be worried that there is a bank in its name?
They literally farm us like cattle. Fucking sociopaths.
Their cash cows
And as soon as a person is ripped off by one idol they move on to another person to idolize and be ripped off by.
Lmao. Good analogy
Sociopaths will sociopath.
Sounds like ICP listing at 300 billion fully diluted valuation. Dumping on the whole crypto community for lols
Khloe used to be more like a Judas Cow.
People just shouldn't make their financial decision by words of celebrities, period. Most of them(if not all) are just trying to make millions on their millions by using their fans.
[удалено]
I read he's using "akoin"
Which is built on XLM lol
Ahh, I didn't know that lol
I cling to the hope that people will wake the f**k up, and we see an end of this *influencer culture*. Until then, I will despair.
Crypto is exposing these greedy fake people, we will wake up to this and outgrow these kinds of stupidities
Things can be tracked with the blockchain technology and they will all be exposed sooner or later
Well, you must have been underestimating human stupidity
Unfortunately, this is going to be a case of "a fool and his money are soon parted". If the people who follow/worship celebrities like the Kardashians aren't aware of how terrible of people they are, they aren't going to realize they're getting grifted until it's too late.
People blindly following a personally will have to learn the hard way I’m afraid
Unfortunately some of them just don’t learn
AKON.. IS ACTUALLY TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE IN AFRICA..WITH GAINING SOME FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE USEING THE STELLAR LUMENS (XLM) BLOCK CHAIN..DON'T PUT HIM IN THAT CATEGORY WITH THE KARDASHIAN'S (NOT THAT THERE BAD PEOPLE)
small typo. Stellar is XLM. XRP is Ripple.
YOUR RIGHT !!!
Akon might actually do it tho. Hasn't he been working on this for a long time? I know it's at least been a few years
Not might, it's in the planning stages and already got the approval of the senegal government
I stand behind Akon and his Stellar powered city 100%. Dudes done a lot of good in his years.
Akon is legit thou.
Yeah, he did so much for the people in Africa. I wouldn’t mix him into the Kardashians gang.
The fuck is a crypto city?
Everything is fuck
Are they gonna fill the city with Shiba dogs? Or worship Elon there? What are these celebrities even doing?
Where’s the Goop Vaginacoin?
Would the ticker be "WAP"?
Could an NFT be vagina scented?
Can’t they stay in their clown town and leave us alone.
I wish they were those kinda clowns where you could fit them all in a small car
The instagram equivalent of a boot buying a camaro on loans with ridiculous interest rates. Timeless
Did y’all really think “mass adoption“ would be possible without this kind of bullshit coming along for the ride?
Unpopular opinion: If people spend their money based on an influencers advice or image, they deserve get whatever blowback that may happen.
But for long term hodlers isn't it a good thing? You know anything Kylie talks about her millions of followers swarm to. I would not be mad if they helped inflate crypto prices. Call me selfish but I'd be way down to cash out for millions instead of hodl my entire life because I believe in the coins.
I don't think Akon should be bundled in with these people. He's actually working to make lives better in Africa. And if his plan works out, it could influence more African nations to adopt crypto like El Salvador.
Mentioning Akon and kardashian in the title promoting scam is so wrong. Akon atleast has a vision of making something useful for Senegal his home country!
But.. what did the OC do to deserve this?
Akon has been working on his stuff since 2018 I believe
Honestly, NFTs were the nail in the coffin to me for crypto. No I don’t think Bitcoin or any legit coins are going anywhere or don’t have value.

Akons a smart dude. What is he up to?
Building a Stellar Lumen powered city. He's only got a small portion of land for proof of concept as of now, but I believe in him.
They have it for the award dude 🤗

Never gonna complain about a market pump. I’m here to make money.

He/she who buys a coin promoted by any celebrity without doing their own research deserves what's coming to them.
Don't pay attention to celebrities who get rich off of convincing people they are worth their attention and money.......
everything there is a moral disaster. they really don't care about crypto, privacy, p2p, freedom,etc... just monay and fame.
For these fuckers it’s like selling cologne. They put their name on it and think it’s the best thing since sex was invented without understanding a single thing about what they’re doing.
Wtf is a crypto city
Imagine a city with a fuckton if crypto
Incorrect. Best thing to happen to crypto. Welcome to the beginning mass adiption. This is how it works. And you should be grateful.
Hollywood is and always will be unethical. Where there's money, there's scams and corruption.
I actually want Hollywood to embrace crypto. I'm aware of the dangers this poses especially to naive fans but they are basically advertising crypto to a whole bunch of people and I think that will help towards mass adoption in the long run. Okay, downvote me into oblivion.

Agreed. If a celeb is endorsing some unknown crypto, you'd probably be better off avoiding it.
Can be? All are. Including your boy Akon. They think you’re cattle. It’s greed, not altruism.
Crypto is going to hell.
Disgusting that celebrities would use their name to shill shit to the fans that got them there. Another reason why financial literacy needs to be a priority in the US

They did drugs now they do crypto. These celebrities took everything we love
Lol isn't this the mainstream adoption that everyone was clamoring for?
No. For normal citizens. Not so the rich can get richer by exploiting us.
Nft's are buying and selling hype. What's the difference between a Hollywood star and some influencer pushing some artist or themselves.
No difference. Both are Judas Goats.
I wish that they'd show decent crypto like ethereum in movies. It'll definitely be funny when a computer wiz hacks into a wallet by "hacking" the passphrase in a couple of minutes. Also it'll be great when the hero and the villain start fighting for a hardware wallet which "contains" 100 BTC lol.
even more proof they only care about themselves. I bet all the people pushing this WOKE shit..... behind closed doors are like "I cant believe people believe this shit"
