Serial meme poster Elon Musk has taken to Twitter to share some of the worst advice you could possibly give to cryptocurrency investors.
In response to a sanctimonious tweet about risk management posted by Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus, Musk jokingly recommended his followers to do the exact opposite: believe everything they see on the internet and put the blame on others.
- Everything on the Internet is true!
- Externalize responsibility!
- If you are able to do this, buy crypto!— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 1, 2021
The not-so-sound advice came after a dubious cryptocurrency inspired by the hit "Squid Game" series collapsed to zero earlier today. Its founders pulled off an obvious exit scam and ran away with $2.1 million worth of victims' money. Notably, the cryptocurrency gained widespread mainstream coverage from major mainstream media outlets, including BBC, before the implosion happened.

The original meme coin is still down a whopping 63% from its all-time peak.
In October, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissioner Hester Peirce warned crypto buyers that celebrities who tout their favorite coins won't bail holders out.
