    More importantly, the scammers who came up with this shit figured out a way to promise their marks easy access to a secret stash of money, and all they have to do to claim it is buy a how-to guide for several hundred dollars in real cash.

      The logic is great on this. “Give me your worthless dollars and I’ll give you this secret currency that is actually valuable.”

      Why would anyone want USD when they claim it will be worthless soon? The exchange makes no sense for the seller if true. Same idea for the gold and silver grifters charging way over melt.

      Yup anyone who is selling a book and/or classes to anything that isn’t being vetted by a third party with no interest in the subject is a scam. The self help section of a book store is basically the scam to borderline cult section.
