The world is getting stupid

My daughter actually bought an NFT painting thing about 6 months ago for like $700. I told her she was nuts. She sold it about 2 weeks later for $1200. Unreal....lol

... and Bernie Madoff made a lot of money for some people too. Eventually the music stops and someone doesn't have a chair. I know they seem to be the rage today but it may not be so down the road.

Agreed. I feel the same about crypto. But she bought this about 6 months ago and hasn't bought another one.
 
This is a different subject. My boat is up for sale the add has the year of the boat just as any add would have. I had a guy call me 3 different times wanting to see the boat I explained to him the shrink wrap was still on it. He insisted on seeing it said he was ready to buy. Met him at the boat that is about an hour from my home. After showing the boat the best I could with the shrink wrap still on it.
When he left, he said he had other boats to look at and would get back with me. Not hearing anything I called him and asked if he was still interested. Here is the reply,
It's too old a boat.
The dam year was on the boat add!!

Read Warren Buffetts comments at the annual shareholder meeting. He wouldn’t give $25 for bitcoin. No intrinsic value there. Ponzi scheme at the end of the day. I’ve read many articles saying the same thing. Sooner or later, someone will be left with an empty bag.

Buffett has had some really simple, easily digestible advice over the years but one of my favorites has to be (paraphrased) "If you cant explain what makes the value of something you want to invest in go up or down, you shouldn't be investing in it."

Because a huge number of people are stupid...
They don't read, they get all their information in 3 minute sound bites.
They just want; what they want, when they want, how they want, at the price they want.
Without any real cost in effort or dollars.
And without consideration of others

Ignorance can be cured, stupidity is forever.

"The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits."

In response to the OP thread title...Getting??? It's done gone nuts. We care about Ukraine getting invaded by Moscow but not our own country getting invaded by Mexico and Central America....:rolleyes:
Russians are coming in...December of 2020, 53 December of 2021, 2,000. Putin is threatening us and we're letting 'em invade us. WTF
