Why is everything a scam?

It’s just called post-capitalism

But other systems of economic organization are scam ridden too.
Everything is an accounting trick, including relationships and spirituality. How do people function when this is obvious?

because people are predators and we have to act like we aren't

That's the cosmic joke of infinite jest.

Because it's inherent human nature to want to take advantage of other people so people will do it every chance they can

Quantitative Easing, low interest rates and cheap liquidity from over the past 10 years. No, I'm not kidding, the rise of scams, zombie companies, frauds and ponzi schemes is historically a classic symptom of loose, cheap liquidity financial conditions. Charles Ponzi rose to fame with the classic "Ponzi Scheme" during the 1920's bubble. There's too much money floating around the markets looking for a place to park and there's a lot of bad players out there who are more than happy to provide a cheap shitty zombie start-up company or project for people to park it with. With interest rates tightening now, you're about to see these companies and projects implode FTX-style and take everyone down with them.

the common man has been domesticated under the guise of progress and civility, but psychopaths still exist

Because we are inherently terrible for the most part and now we have maximized information transfer to make it easy to fulfill our true nature

that's one of the funniest things about going down the bitcoin rabbit hole. It turns out the only thing that is not a scam is Bitcoin.... lmao. Everything else except for maybe some unique exceptions but things like stocks, real estate, art, gold, fiat currency, bonds it's all riddled with scams and they are all fundamentally scammy. I really feel bad that most of biz seems to not have quite understood this. There actually is no second best lol

Greedy people are many times easier to scam than people who aren't greedy. You are greedy for a quick buck and thus get scammed more than people who aren't greedy for some crypto moneybomb.

because infinite growth without infinite productivity means you must always pay more for less

>everything is a scam
>everything is a security
If you see a pattern here you might be close to realizing the securities regulation is a good thing.

doing real things has been commoditized and debased. all that's left is cunning aka inserting yourself into contrived situations, justifying your position, and demanding a cut. look at the fortune 50 list and be amazed at how many middle man scam industries make up our largest companies: insurers, wholesalers, """big tech,""" banks, etc.

Bruh. Real estate is the most inherently valuable thing on that list. Everyone needs a place to live and will pay more for a nicer place or more amenities if they have the money. Cope harder.
