Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

What would the mechanism for this be?
leveraged funds buying basket of shitcoins, which goes to 0?
I mean yeah that's how to turn money into nothing, but how do we get to that point? 59% of Vanguard plan participants only hold a single target date fund according to page 6 of this 2025 report, and I really doubt much of the remaining 31% who use more plan offerings (making them less diversified, paradoxically) will end up investing a significant amount in crypto or crypto funds.
probably not directly, no, but it would be called like "etf of risky investment, 20% yoy perfomance". if they get even 5% of usa market, it would be more than neough for crypto
"even 5% of USA market" is doing a lot of work there. All the sector funds in the vanguard plans (what seems like the closest thing to compare crypto to, particularly the precious metals one) amount to 1% usage by participants, and every sector besides real estate has <0.5% usage.
