    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not claiming this isn’t insider manipulation, or that it should be legal.

    What I’m saying is people have a personal responsibility to be informed about the risks associated with cryptocurrency.

    At this point, if you lose money on a pump-n-dumps, that’s all on you.

    The same could not be said five years ago, when influencer coins were unheard of.

    I understand that, but I seriously doubt these people are losing essential money. If you can afford to buy Hawk Tuah coins for the ‘community aspect’ then they probably aren’t at risk of losing their life saving.

    There’s a big gap between what’s happening here and telescammers robbing grannies for example.

    Modern safety standards make it so that the seatbelt locks in a crash and limits your longitudinal inertia.

    That’s what I was trying to say.

    I’ve now realised that I’ve explained myself poor. To reiterate;

    Seatbelts reduce whiplash, so does correct posture. Poor posture inherently leads to a loosed seatbelt because it extends the range between you and your seat.

    A lot of people consider a crash which lurches you forward, but if you get rear ended, the difference which matters will be your posture. If your head and neck are cushioned, you’re going to be much better off.

    Fair point about the broken spines. It’s not hard to imagine how much worse things could be without correctly fitted headrests and seatbelts.
