[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, this is so messed up. Targeting an already financially struggling minority group that has historically not had equal access to education around finance and investing vehicles? And then telling them crypto, a highly volatile and risky product, is some kind of solution? There are great, easy to understand educational resources provided by brokerage firms and online that can direct new investors without experience towards securities that can help them achieve their goals. Hawking crypto as a solution to income disparity between racial groups is deeply unethical. [/quote]

What about self accountability? I mean investing is risky for everyone. What about focusing on choices individuals choose to make and sort of not infantilism  them in perpetuity.[/quote]

I don't have an issue with individual accountability. What I do have an issue with is the hypocrisy of hucksters claiming victimhood and moral superiority as justification for something that would ultimately contribute to the further victimization of the people it is being marketed to. [/quote]
