How to make a BILLION dollars, in eight easy steps

1.  Join a cult of an insane meme so inanely stupid, so obviously wrong, nobody will ever take you seriously once you as much as mention it to them casually.
   
   
2. Then form a victim complex, because they're victimizing you, they don't understand what innovation is, you're a revolutionary, you'll change the world, and it's everybody else who's a moron and you're a visionary, despite actually not understanding the technology you're pretending to care for my gambling for it.
   
   
3. Once things start going south, form complex narratives around grand conspiracies, how it's all a global conspiracy formed my national governments, bankers, financiers, trading apps, random redditors, your friends and family even because everybody wants to take you, the real revolutionary down.
   
   
4. Pretend there's going to be mainstream acceptance of your ideas any day now, and misinterpret messages posted by serious people to mean they support your cause, and use that in your marketing.
   
   
5. See your money double or triple or quadruple, for no reason at all, because other morons like you joined the cause, and truly, really believe you're in the right, and instead of pulling all you earned back, sick in every cent of your spare cash, because you're in it for the tech!
   
   
6. As your 'investment' in the ponzi scheme goes down, keep doubling down, fantasizing about how insanely wealthy you'll soon become, and come up with ridiculous, fantastical, nonsensical multiples for your 'investment', and try convincing everybody that your numbers are in reality quite conservative.
   
   
7. Blame the government for bringing you down when it punishes the straight-out scammers and schemers.
   
   
8. See your 'investment' go up by a million times, and suddenly you're a billionaire!
