‘This is not financial advice’
I’ve a new essay in @noemamag.com on how ‘finfluencers’ use #socialmedia to prey on economic desperation.
It’s a cautionary tale on under-regulated financial markets like the OTC & #crypto attracting gamblers, typically men, chasing the dream of ‘financial freedom’.
“At a time when traditional markers of male success, such as homeownership & predictable family formation, have become less attainable, many men feel increasing pressure to find a way — however reckless — to achieve prosperity & demonstrate value.”
