my recent experiences with cryptocurrencies have been the large number (10+) of tinder matches I've gotten from women in Hong Kong or Shenzhen who within 2-3 conversations try to convince me to buy into the latest "digital currency their uncle told them would go to $5 in a week."

Each time I ask them for more information in understanding the underlying value of the digital asset they're trying to charm me with and then all I get are screenshots of the values going up mixed with invitations to visit them in China.

it was frustrating the first 2-3 times before becoming comical.



The good side of being ugly guy like me is that I always can spot these scams and never even respond to them - I just instantly block them. Because I know that no such a beautiful lady would actually approach me.

However I guess the scammers will soon figure this out and start using normal looking ladies in these contacts. Similar to those "bang ugly chicks near you" advertisements on porn sites.
