>Hey bro, did you hear about this new app that has direct access to your bank accounts?!? It's so convenient and awesome, you should give it direct access to your bank accounts!!!
Nope. I've got exactly 1 app with access to my bank (besides my bank), which is my credit-card so I can pay the bill, and that's enough for me.

If I'm imagining living on the moon, I'm imagining that things are coming from earth rather regularly.

It's their responsibility. If WE are left to our own devices, idiots like Trump become president. FACT

Lol, a TikTok user with "hobbies"!?!?!? That's laughable... Are those hobbies like walking miles without ever looking up from your phone? Or, annoying people that are just going about their day, so you can get more views? Or, just mindlessly scrolling the endless feed of stupid videos to get your never-ending fix of dopamine?
To have a "hobbie" you would have to put your f******* phone down for more than 3 seconds. Hobbies...yeah right!

The apple don't fall far from the tree; Steve Jobs was mean and inconsiderate; sounds like the culture of the company modeled itself after him.

Better yet, who wants to bet that their paywall system is based on a fintech product with its own fraud problems?

Sure, but at the start, people were asking "what are the use cases for this that don't include serious money getting involved?" and the answer that early bitcoin miners gave was basically "uh, I dunno, something something revolution?" So it was obvious that serious money was going to need to get involved, and from that, it was obvious that it would rapidly attract scams and fraud.
Just because early bitcoin miners couldn't read the writing on the wall doesn't mean it wasn't there for others to see.

I mean, it depends on your definition of "fraudulent." If you mean "gonna get you convicted of fraud in court" then barely anything counts as fraudulent because our courts are cowards. If you mean "based on getting people to believe things that are plainly untrue" then nearly every part of the economy is fraudulent. Macroeconomics is based on the untrue claim that the economy can keep doubling every n years without limit. Microeconomics is based on the untrue claim that people always act in their own rational self-interest. And regular everyday economics, in the sense of just selling things to customers, is based on all of the untrue claims in all of the advertising we're exposed to. There really is no such thing as an honest capitalist.

I saw a tiktok video (lol) of someone speaking about how the algorithm in China defaults to show wholesome and inspiring content rather than the dancing, pranks, and tide pod challenges we get in the West. I don't know how true that is, but it's something nefarious actors could certainly do as a long term psyop to undermine an entire generation

So now that we acknowledge the corruption, what do we do? Hand out a bunch of laughable “cost of business” fines and just keep on doing the same thing with the same criminals left at the helm. Our financial systems have become a disgraceful affront to humanity and all that is good in society. Looking at you Washington, DOJ, SEC, etc
