Dear Editor:
I love listening to the future Reform leader Pierre Poilievre discuss bringing in Bitcoin to tame inflation. He is right about it, since Bitcoin is becoming worthless and therefore you won’t have to worry about inflation since your money will be gone.
As Paul Krugman’s column in the New York Times stated, Bitcoin are the new Ponzi scheme run by grifters. Investors have lost almost a billion in the last week – gee how great, but then it turns out Pierre is involved with a company that sells Bitcoin; invest with them and you will get 30% return. It is a Ponzi scheme and think of the Canadian who died in India with the codes to the boxes. Everyone lost all their money.
I learned a long time ago if it sounds too good it is a con. But Pierre’s hero is Trump the ultimate con man and those truckers who break the law, but then again he is for law and order. Passes himself like Trump as a populist who has never worked a real job in his entire life.
We live in the age of the con man/grifters, which by the way the ring leaders of the truckers were hoping to grift millions. I hear he, like Jason Kenney, now rides around in a pickup truck and drinks beer. Hey, let the Conservatives elect him and watch them sink in the next election.
The Reform cons have not gotten the message from the real people of the country. They, like Trump and his MAGA crew, enjoy living in an alternate universe of grift and chaos.
