I'm not for victim blaming generally, but who puts their money into a company that says this:

>"...create a parallel system of existence that will change how people live, how we interact with people around the world, and even how companies and corporations will conduct business."

What is supposed to mean, other being some thought-terminating word salad to fool less cynical people?

How is this different than the argument to sell NFTs that are jpegs that somehow have some value, or token's having value from all these random crypto sites. And they take your 'hard crypto' eth or btc and somehow manipulate trading to make the ftx tokens worth billions.

I interviewed at a company that was making tools for analyzing this world and they had similar arguments about the world changing impact of their analysis tools.

It isn't. Those were scams too.

Exactly this.
Isn't this taken from the WeWork pitch?
