If you’re a regular reader of Breitbart News, you may have noticed a relatively new genre of advertisements in your inbox. They are hopeful, even promising messages, offering recipients exclusive financial advice that will massively boost their retirement savings.

The trick comes down to a simple investment: Bitcoin.

“Turn a single $100 bill into a retirement fortune,” one ad reads, “in a matter of months.”

Putting one’s money in bitcoin is—most financial experts would insist—not the safest investment for someone to make, let alone a person nearing or in retirement. But those very people happen to be the primary readers of conservative websites. And advertisers have long viewed conservative newsletters and email marketing campaigns as an effective way to hawk their products.

3. My brother-in-law is still trying to figure out what to do with all

the Dinars he bought with the $1000 he invested. I suggested that he wallpaper the rec room with them. He wasn't amused. He also put down a $1000 deposit on some 3-wheeled car that was supposed to go into production "real soon now," and sell for just $6,000. He's a Trump supporter, though, so just judgment is suspect.
