Why isn't /biz/ conducting a massive world-wide scam?
We have a lot of people in the board with different skills and educations. It wouldn't be hard for us to do it.

>> No.664394

No one who is capable would be interested.

Because there's already a massive world-wide market where you can get money. Why lie to people and get caught when you can make plenty of it playing by the rules

Okay. I'll play the market, you go make a scam

Lots of risk, nebulous reward, nothing preventing me from running a scam on my own and not having to share with random anons.

>> No.664430

If there was a way to filter out the bottomfeeding shillcoin retards and chat with the large proportion of /biz/ that isn't ridiculously stupid, I'd be up to doing a non-scammy investment group or something, but you can't trust other people and my money is working fine the way it is and stupidity is more than skin deep so I'll just take /biz/ the way it is and enjoy those of you that make thoughtful posts

this. most of the people on this board actually seem pretty ethical, and concerned with doing something beneficial and profitable.

No trust, and an anonymous image boad is designed specifically to eliminate personal trust (except tripfags, and the culture has evolved to specifically dislike them). If you can't trust your fellow scammers, you can't work together to scam people.

Let's start the first no fee no commission brokerage firm, but extreme discretion when completing trades (aka massive spreads)

>> No.664704

Because people here are too stupid, their vision too narrow, to do anything - otherwise they'd be in the real world doing it

Other than adsense boosting (which I thought of before knowing it was a thing, and am too busy to try) and micro cap group trading, I can't think of anything

I honestly can't think of many possible scams in general that don't have a barrier to entry, I'm not a learned con man

That's probably the most feasible "scam".
We'd need a larger audience of people outside the group to buy what the group buys, after the group buys. i.e. A twitter account.

>> No.664778

Too many hands is no good for most schemes. A group of 6-8 would be ideal. Then again, if we could coordinate a larger group, we could make an organized shilling group.

Because it's a public forum you fucking dumbass

I'm assuming most people, in general, are idiots, and 4chan is no exception

And nothing I mentioned is unethical
