How do you tell a scam coin from a non scam one? It's like a cult vs a religion, as far as I can tell the only difference is popularity.
“Pastor for an online ministry” - the cool new way to say “televangelist,” and apparently just as trustworthy.
I didn't know televangelist were a thing until a year or two ago, and remember having my mind blown (in a "but why" way). How is that a thing. Why do so many people fall for it? How do these people get discovered. The only reason I know about them is because of a meme YouTube video where a reporter drilled a televangelist on camera. Aside: may I propose we style the Internet variety as eVangelists?

It's genuinely a difficult question because there are projects that have the exact same technical designs that are still legitimate projects. So how do you evaluate this? From my perspective it used to easier. I'd just look at the problems that the company was focusing on and ask: (1) are they solving a real issue (2) are they making a valid contribution with their solution? Normally both 1 and 2 would be eliminated…
By that standard dogecoin is a scam.

The difference between a cult and a religion is this: a cult wants it all but a religion just wants their cut.
I’ve heard it phrased differently: the difference between a religion and a cult is that in a religion the person at the top of the pyramid making the most money is dead.

Bruh. It’s 2024. Can we stop assuming only religion on the face of earth is Christianity?
