21. Why do his followers keep failling for the same con over and over?

Yes I know we flipantly say they are stupid but most aren't, maybe they aren't the smartest but still they aren't total idiots. He keeps running scams on them that cost them money they can't afford to lose and then they fall for it again.

He's going to make billons from what basically is his followers just giving him money hoping they will get rich but they will lose it all in the end. I was looking at a few Reddit forums and even the crypto crowd who usually falls all over themselves for these things realize this is nothing more than a ponzie scheme. Of course I think all crypto ultimately is a ponzie scheme but this really is.
