Guy is giving away a silver bar for 99¢ and the people on the street are utterly too dumb to buy it.

Usually when someone offers you something at <10% of the price it's a scam and most people don't know how to test silver.

I guess if your not an expert then why risk it. But, 99¢ though? Why not just take a small risk?

They are assuming the guy is a bad person, I think.

When in fact they are the bad ones.


I knew people who (after they got a demonstration of excel) literally were unable to comprehend that buying a computer was the right thing to do to make their business more productive in the 90s. That's how people are. Taking even the smallest risk is out of the question for them. On the other hand taking big risks (that do not deliver huge rewards) usually come back with huge losses...
