Squid Game season 2 features a crypto sammer 😂 (Spoiler)

(edited)

Haha, in der Season 2 der koreanischen Netflix-Serie Squid Game macht ein Kryptowährungs-Scammer mit.

Squid Game ist eine Art Battle-Royale, zu dem hoch verschuldete Menschen eingeladen werden, um ein Preisgeld zu gewinnen. Was sie am Anfang nicht wissen, ist dass jeder Spieler, der bei einer Runde verliert, getötet wird. Jeder "disqualifizierte" Spieler erhöht das Preisgeld. Nach jeder Runde stimmen die Teilnehmer ab, ob sie weitermachen wollen oder nicht.

Der Player mit der Nummer 333 Lee Myung-gi (gespielt von Im Si-wan) in der Season 2 ist ein verschuldeter Kryptowährungs-Betrüger, der einen YouTube-Kanal MG Coin betreibt und einen fiktiven Shitcoin names "Dalmatian" promotet hat, der zu einem Verlust von 15.2 Milliarden Won (circa 10 Millionen Dollar) geführt hat.

Andere Teilnehmer, die durch den Shitcoin Geld verloren haben, finden schnell heraus, dass der Promoter des Shitcoins unter ihnen weilt.

Wie sich das dann entwickelt, könnt ihr euch sicher vorstellen.

Finde es witzig, dass Squid Game das Thema Kryptowährungen aufgreift, aber leider wird nur das negative Image/Klischee (Shitcoins, Scams) bedient.

Vielleicht haben sich die Macher von Squid Game vom SQUID-Token inspirieren lassen. Nach dem Start der Season 1 gab es nämlich einen Shitcoin SQUID, einen inoffiziellen Squid Game Token, der mittlerweile 95% an Wert verloren hat.

Was sagt ihr dazu? Habt ihr die Season 2 von Squid Game bereits gesehen? Wie gefällt euch die Rolle des Krypto-Scammers? Warum werden Kryptos in Serien immer negativ dargestellt?

Haha, a cryptocurrency scammer takes part in Season 2 of the Korean Netflix series Squid Game.

Squid Game is a kind of battle royale where highly indebted people are invited to win prize money. What they don't know however is that any player who loses a round will be killed. Each “disqualified” player increases the prize money. After each round, the participants vote whether they want to continue or not.

The player with the number 333 Lee Myung-gi (played by the actor Im Si-wan) in Season 2 is an indebted cryptocurrency scammer who runs the YouTube channel MG Coin and promoted a fictious shitcoin called “Dalmatian”, which led to a loss of 15.2 billion won (approx. 10 million dollars).

Other participants who have lost money through the Shitcoin quickly find out that the promoter of the Shitcoin is among them.

I'm sure you can imagine how that develops.

I think it's funny that Squid Game takes up the topic of cryptocurrencies, but unfortunately it only serves the negative image/cliché (shitcoins, scams).

Perhaps the creators of Squid Game were inspired by the SQUID token. After the start of Season 1, there was a Shitcoin SQUID, an unofficial Squid Game token, which has since lost 95% of its value since then.

What do you think? Have you already watched Squid Game Season 2? How do you like the role of the crypto scammer? Why are cryptos always portrayed negatively in TV shows?

I have not watched season 2 yet. I'll have to watch it later and it's interesting to see a crypto scammer there. I think they do it because it's a way to attract viewers.

Ich habe einen Teil der ersten Staffel gesehen. Mir sind aber offenbar generell diese Todesspiel-Serien zuwider.

0.00319218 BEE

I think it's natural. Since the participants are people with a lot of debt, it's no surprise there are some people in there who lost a lot in scams related to crypto.

This needs to not be a show and instead be real lol

that part of the episode was very funny

I think the focus on the negative aspects comes through the story of the series. The main characters all have massive debt because of gambling or bad financial decisions.
Maybe season 3 switches it up a little and shows a VIP who became rich through crypto

Klingt interessant. Eigentlich mag ich keine Filme/Serien mit unnötiger Brutalität da ich finde, dass die Gewaltdarstellungen in den letzten Jahren unnormal zugenommen haben. Oder meinst du man kann oder sollte sich das trotzdem ansehen?

0.00318500 BEE

Squid Game ist als Battle Royale schon ziemlich heftig, aber denke gibt Schlimmeres.

Not familiar with Squid Game, but yes, I observe cryptocurrency is a favorite theme in K dramas on Netflix. At least, I watched three films that identified it as a scam and a favorite exit for embezzlement.

Hehe
I watched that part especially the way Thanos hated him for scamming him😅😅

Isn't that so often the case... the image still remains a negative/scammy one in MSM. I was kinda amused/disappointed by the portrayal, although he does become a likable character towards the latter episodes, or at least, he did to me.

Why are cryptos always portrayed negatively in TV shows?

I dunno, but I think the over-the-top negative portrayal does signal something interesting. It's not just a matter of saying to the gen pop "this is bad, don't". After all, drug dealers/users and serial criminals get portrayed with some degree of compassion, complexity and understanding. Though those are obviously cases of "bad, don't". Anything they try so hard to discourage is worth looking at, at least.

They could also add a character that lost his money because of high credit interest rates or high taxes 😂 Already looking forward to season 3.

0.00000000 BEE

It's no news hearing that 99% of shitcoins are made by scammers. So anytime I hear shitcoin, I just hear, scammers.

I have recently finished it and that was good

Sehenswert und fand ich spannender als die erste Staffel.
In Korea sind die Leute sehr Krypto freundlich da die Leute gerne spielen und es keine Kryptosteuer gibt.

Laut den aktuellsten verfügbaren Daten gibt es in Südkorea etwa 15,59 Millionen Kryptonutzer[2][6]. Dies entspricht ungefähr 30% der südkoreanischen Gesamtbevölkerung von etwa 51,23 Millionen Menschen[2].

Diese Zahl stellt einen bemerkenswerten Anstieg dar:

  • Im November 2024 stieg die Anzahl der Nutzer um 610.000 auf 15,59 Millionen[2].
  • Zuvor war ein stetiges Wachstum von monatlich etwa 100.000 neuen Nutzern seit Juli 2024 zu verzeichnen[2].
  • Ende 2023 lag die Zahl der Krypto-Investoren noch bei 6,45 Millionen[3].

Der starke Anstieg wird verschiedenen Faktoren zugeschrieben:

  1. Die Krypto-Rallye nach dem Wahlsieg von Donald Trump in den USA[2].
  2. Erwartungen eines günstigeren regulatorischen Umfelds für Kryptowährungen unter der neuen US-Regierung ab Januar 2025[2].
  3. Das Fehlen einer Krypto-Steuer in Südkorea, die möglicherweise erst 2028 eingeführt wird[3].

Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass diese Zahlen auf Daten der Bank of Korea basieren, die Informationen von den fünf größten Krypto-Börsen des Landes berücksichtigen[2].

Vor diesem Hintergrund kann man sagen, dass Krypto in Südkorea Mainstream geworden ist. Unglaublich, auch hinter der jüngsten Hive Rallye vermute ich die Koreaner.

Yes, I liked that character.. very like real life. 😎✌️

I've never actually seen this show. But killing the guy who stole your savings is motivating.

Just saw this last evening and was laughing my ass off, the Korean Sam Bankman-Fried lol. You know that dude ain't making it to the end of the games lol.

0.00315567 BEE

I haven't watched it and not sure I'll take the time to either. You would have to be a sucker to buy a Squid token, unless of course you were the guy creating it trying to rake in all of the millions from the suckers who buy it because of the word Squid...

Hey there, the Bilpcoin team just wanted to give you a virtual high-five we manually curated this post.

Their attempts to intimidate and silence their critics are equally concerning. The use of downvotes as a means of censorship is a clear indication of their desperation to maintain their grip on the narrative. But it's not working

A Call to Action Against Downvote Abuse on Hive

Bad downvotes on Hive are a growing concern that must be addressed. These downvotes not only discourage users from sharing their real thoughts and ideas but also damage the community as a whole, we see many walk away

The Buildawhale farm scam has been a topic of concern for us, and we've exposed it. However, despite our attempts to bring attention to this issue, it seems that no concrete actions have been taken to address it. This lack of response is puzzling

Let's discuss a more serious issue that affects all on Hive. The prevalence of bad downvotes on Hive is a major concern, and we urge you to speak up if you've been affected by it. Don't be afraid to share your experiences speak up

Hey @lasseehlers. Squid Game Token sounds like something you would love now that your XEN and TitanX investments are in the toilet and the HEX crypto scammer you promoted is now on the run from Interpol.
