I believed rating agencies were all bought and paid for long before the movie "The Big Short" came out, because I grew up in a time where magazines were still king, and the internet was just becoming a thing.

With that being said, I first discovered that rating agencies were a scam with a little known magazine called "Consumer Reports", which was a magazine that basically rated all of the different merchandise that came out, including cars, boats, and kitchen appliances.

Well, come to find out, that this publication would get kickbacks and other monetary incentives, to give the company products in question better ratings and scores, and for those who didn't pony up... well let's just say that their scores would reflect this.

Now, all of these rating agencies start out fair and balanced, but just like everything else, they become corrupt overtime, wanting more and more money in exchange for good marks.

So, since Weiss just started grading cryptocurrencies, they are going to be fair, but overtime, when shitcoins start paying them large sums of money, I bet my bottom Satoshi that ole Weiss will start issuing them some pretty fair marks.

And this is how they survive, and get the trust of most of the sheeple out there in the wide world.

In conclusion, do your own fucking research, and never give two shits what these "pay for ratings" agencies have to say, about the coins and tokens you love and invest in... end rant.
