How in the world can anyone realistically believe in Fortune tellers? If they could tell the future then why wouldn't they just buy a bunch of bitcoin or Nvidia stocks and be multimillionaires or billionaires?

Every fortune teller would be a billionaire by now.

They swore an oath not to use their powers for personal gain and by god they stand by it. Respect.

Seriously don't waste your time, you'd just be in a circle jerk finding agreement that fortune tellers are frauds, and you're be gaslit to insanity trying to reason with people that believe in fortune tellers.

Yes, it's much like the Hippocratic oath.

Truly a noble profession; honest, genuine people doing their best for humanity.

Surely you jest, dear forum poster! Why, when I was a child, one told me that some day in the future, my grandparents would die. And lo, they did!

What is with this board's obsession with divination? Has someone claimed to have psychic powers or something, hm?

I don't know how anyone can get into such a tizzy about something they don't believe in. Maybe better just to let it go. If it's nonsense, it's nonsense.

Really... what an odd and random topic to get so worked up about.

Kind of a first, obvious sign that they're full of shit, isn't it?

I made that one thread a few weeks back but that's the only one I can recall. Is this a trend or something? lol

@mrbojangles25: I think it's like the fourth or fifth one, yeah.

One of a few regular themes.

None of my business of course, but a passer-by can't help but piece together his own backstories.

I'm a crypto fortune teller.

I predict 99% of crypto tokens will go to zero in the next 20 years.
