Part 12/14:
Today, charismatic figures and politicians, such as the Argentine president or former U.S. Presidents, openly indulge in crypto scandals—launching tokens that crash, leaving supporters holding the bag—in ways that resemble their historical counterparts' confidence tricks but on a global, digital stage.
The recent case of the Argentine president's "Libra coin" illustrates this perfectly: a political figure backing a token that spiked and then collapsed within hours, resulting in thousands of supporters losing their money—yet retaining the aura of being a "revolutionary" or "anti-corruption" figure. The real winner? Those who orchestrated the scheme from behind the scenes, securing personal gains while the public is left with ruins.
