Jun 17, 2022“It’s kind of late to be doing that when people are trying to hold on to their dollars and everything is so expensive,” said 58-year-old retiree Myra Raspberry. “People don’t want to be investing money knowing that they might have a chance of losing it.
Raspberry said she had seen news reports about bitcoin’s crash, and had no interest in participating in the course.
“Every dime I get got to go to rent, phone, TV and internet. I don’t have money like that to be losing. If I did, I would try to invest in something that’s more reliable, like the basketball game last night. You know I’m going to win something from that.”
She hasn’t heard anybody talking about bitcoin in her community, she said. “People looking to make money, not lose it.” The average household income for public housing residents in New York City is $24,454, according to the New York City Housing Authority.

“Half the people that’s going to go to that class, probably just going to go to the class for the $25 that you get. The other half of the people, they’ll probably take what they learn and forget it down the line.”
Figueroa said the bitcoin class signified how out of touch the rapper was with his former home.
“If you want to do something, fix this place up,” she said. “We have a basketball court with no hoops. Our parks is broken up in here. He should be doing more for his community, not no Bitcoin Academy.
“The only thing I could say he really did for us was the Christmas stuff. Every Christmas he would come around and he would give out free toys to the kids or like pocketbooks, perfumes and little MP3 players. That was good; the bitcoin ain’t.”
Figueora added that the holiday giveaways haven’t happened in a while. “He stopped coming around, and then it was just his mother that was coming around for a long period of time. And now I don’t even know if they do it any more.
“This is where he rep he’s from and all that, but he don’t do nothing for us.”

One Marcy resident, Luis Rivas, did express enthusiasm for the class, saying, “I would like to learn how they become a millionaire, and learn what to trade and what not to trade.”
Rivas, who is unemployed, said he had been acquainted with Jay-Z when they were both teenagers. “Now he’s a billionaire and I’m still living in the f***ing ghetto.”

Wild man, I always do wish people in his position would give back more…
It’s something I always try to do, and once I get into more money I really want to help the communities I grew up from

LaFleur"the primary function when it comes to understanding bitcoin is understanding fiat"
what would he need to understand then since we both agree that it's an easy (and useless in this case) concept and why would you assume he didn't know what the word means ?
Broski
The word astrophysics is something we both know, I know the definition of it, that doesnt mean i understand it conceptually. Are you slow? Fiat currency just means money that isnt backed by a commodity, does that mean I instantly understand how it works in its various systems? The history of it? Youre stupid as f***. Read what you write

Brother I just checked and your currency lost 30% of its value since we started talking me and you.
You should focus on that more and not on mixing things that could help you pretend to be smart when you sound like an idiot for people who actually studied these things.
With that being said this is going to be my last message to you. Have a nice day or evening in whichever timezone you are !

Lol because it's losing value at the moment thats supposed to prove your point?
Thats irrelevant, especially considering the fact years from now its going to more than likely be worth a lot more
