Former CIA Officer Worries About People Thinking Comic Tokens as Investment Assets
Former CIA officer Edward Snowden tweeted that he is negative about “meme” tokens like Shiba Inu and Dogecoin due to his bad sense of humor.
Snowden is also concerned about the fact that many perceive “meme” digital money as an investment opportunity, which could lead to serious financial losses. The ex-CIA officer added that he respects people who treat Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and other similar tokens as a joke.
Leave the nice dog man alone. I've never been a fan of any flavor of dog money, because a) I am a humorless scold and b) I think a lot of earnest people will mistake it for an investment and get hurt, but Billy has imo always tried hard to be a positive voice.

In early November, Snowden warned of the dangers of “meme” cryptocurrencies. Then the former CIA officer advised not to try to outplay the market.
Snowden has spoken out repeatedly about digital assets. For example, in October, he explained the danger of national cryptocurrencies, and also named the reason for the sharp rise in bitcoin.
