coinus boinus

adj A term to describe something heavily hyped and promoted that ultimately turns out to be a scam, or at least heavily embellished for the sake of convincing people to buy in; similar to "smoke and mirrors" or "snake oil." Popular examples: Theranos, Fyre Festival, NFTs, Elon Musk, MoviePass

noun 1. A bad faith offer of opportunity, especially pertaining to financial gain; specifically the essential quality of lacking a realistic foundation.
2. The intrinsically fictive nature of any societal construct so deeply ingrained in contemporary society that many if not most people don’t realize that it is simply a thing that someone made up and not an immutable law of nature, especially one that exists in service of legitimizing systems of power (eg. money, borders, social hierarchy, etc)
Anyone with any actual technical knowledge knows that Elon's entire reputation is all just coinus boinus.
