<pre class="wp-block-verse has-text-align-center">Former <em>CIA </em>Officer Worries About People Thinking Comic <strong>Tokens </strong>as <strong>Investment Assets</strong></pre>



<p>Former <strong>CIA </strong>officer <strong>Edward Snowden</strong> tweeted that he is negative about &#8220;<strong>meme</strong>&#8221; tokens like <strong>Shiba Inu</strong> and <strong>Dogecoin </strong>due to his bad sense of humor. </p>



<p><strong>Snowden </strong>is also concerned about the fact that many perceive &#8220;<strong>meme</strong>&#8221; digital money as an investment opportunity, which could lead to serious financial losses. The ex-<strong>CIA </strong>officer added that he respects people who treat <strong>Dogecoin</strong>, <strong>Shiba Inu</strong> and other similar <strong>tokens </strong>as a joke.</p>


<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Leave the nice dog man alone. I&#39;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.</p>
