Techniques to convince naive people to join your “scheme”

1. Convince them that the reason they don’t understand it is because it’s deeply complex, not because no rational person would find it reasonable (e.g. “study” bitcoin, do the required reading, few understand, etc.)

2. Use acronyms, jargon, and nomenclature to make it sound sophisticated, despite being purely cosmetic or made up (e.g. BTC trading under its 200SMA, support levels, etc.)

3. Downplay the reality of monetary losses by making totally unsubstantiated claims about future performance, but in an indirect manner (halving cycles, zoom out, etc.)

4. Disengage common sense criticism by making blanket claims saying “this isn’t how it works” with 0 evidence or supporting ideas

Please add to the list if you have any, now is a great time to collect ideas since the sell off is putting people into overdrive to find new bag holders of their does-nothing-and-has-done-nothing-for-17-years internet points.
