Last year I invested in Safex, I was in an amazon seller conference in New York and Ed Rosenberg was promoting it, he said it was going to moon, put 5000$ and now is worth less than 9$.
Ed Rosenberg just plead guilty a few weeks ago in federal court for bribery and other crimes.
Aharon Bernal the co founder of Safex was later doxed and we found out he had criminal record for shoplifting and stealing a car.

Only legit "scam" I ever fell for was this minereum bullshit, I saw I had like a bunch of MNE tokens airdropped and could get some money on uniswap, but of course they were "locked" or some bullshit and in order to unlock them you pay some fee which was like $100-200 worth eth or something to "upgrade" them. But I didn't realize they unlock over a period of like 40 year or something, lol. So I am still accruing them but of the course they are worthless by now.

Safex is a scam that has been around for long time, I smoked a joint with the CEO Daniel Dabek at the mandarin hotel, anyone can tell he is a scammer from miles away, he was talking crap and had an autistic smile. SAFEX was a good idea but the people who runs it kill it, fake hack, delisted from exchanges, lies and delays and Dan always blames others for his mistakes, he is still blaming a guy named LEC who was one of the first investors in 2015 to dump it all a few months later.
Then, the roadmap always change, there is always new products and new people who last a few months and dissapear, this has happened over and over, Richard Bate and Aharon Bernal for example

One time I went to a college convenience store and There was a female cashier and a young man loitering behind her (probably her boyfriend). I gave the cashier a 20 and she gave me back change for a 5.
i complained and her boyfriend said you're wrong and proceeded to quickly count all the money in the register so as to bewilder me. I said whatever and left.
I should have called the cops and got their names. then at the very least, they wouldn't be able to do it again because the complaint would be in the police's system.

- Request network (2017-2018) - even before the Buffalo Mozarella dining event. Lost $70k here.
- ADA (2017) - bought at $0.11 and sold at $0.04 - about $30k
- LINK (2020-2023) - bought at $10 in 2020 and lost 30% holding in 3 years, sold last month everything at $7. Lost about $100k

In the future I will just buy QQQ and chill. I am a terrible stock picker.

The Food Pyramid
The picture is the USDA's original food pyramid, from 1992 to 2005, which were my developmental years on this earth. Switching my diet to Paleolithic Intermittent Fasting changed my life completely. I have a clear face, healthy weight for my height and age, and I feel satiated and satisfied.

Interesting you are the ONLY person in this thread that said this. A lot of people were mega bullish on it and only a small minority were calling it out as an unsustainable ponzi. So many people got fucking rekked but personally i'm am just really depressed at missing the short opportunity of a life time. All the warning signs were there.
