If I had my photo ID, I'd activate my coinbase account and then transfer my stellar from keybase into bitcoin and use that to buy a trezor and then put doge coin on it (after donating some to the dance party)https://t.co/me03isNpJxhttps://t.co/god6UKsACc
Who needs non-fungible-tokens when you can just sell people stickers?https://t.co/VbqLPaXra1 https://t.co/0tbM3Tcv00
I think Gaia Online should become a dApp and sell people paper doll clothing via NFTs mechanism to combat their hyperinflation driven by poor central planning.https://t.co/PPXexFMtmS
Someone is selling a sticker version of @suchaone's opus.https://t.co/Cmd76fVGzCNow I'm mad.
I literally bought dog shit with some random tokens I didn't want (and put in a wallet I didn't ask for). And then I gave the rest away because https://t.co/Yd6FIRL92n
Because I never wanted those fucking things to begin with.https://t.co/5PBlEFYgJl
.@StellarOrg hey, this facebook account https://t.co/b1m43DGhL1 is resharing people's public avatar photos as a way to spam your token. The next one I receive will lead to me submitting these screenshots to the SEC and encouraging others to do so. https://t.co/UBU15eJjte
Less that worthless to me.https://t.co/jIeLbp99f3
Keybase stumbled a bit over latest growth hacking attempt w/ the airdrop contest/drawing. Makes me sad. Sybil attacks are an obvious result of incentives there.Cryptographic identity is nice tho, could quickly tell who was legit & who's a doppelganger.https://t.co/pdZknUvEjr
That's right. I bought literal dog shit instead of dogecoin.https://t.co/BHhSfnmIqg
The idea of a literal dogecoin on the moon makes me giggle.https://t.co/MUVY6js85t
Big pepe memehttps://t.co/eseqms1m1I https://t.co/ureFwe7HlU
I've been sitting on that meme for over a year https://t.co/8QAmA2vKM2
Musing at how the "OneCoin" thing was just a website with a front end to some fictional non-existent blockchain. Not even a shitcoin, it was just fake. It was a literal mlm scam people fell for b/c they had no idea how shit works.https://t.co/Q0rkTkgnlVhttps://t.co/1QwaoAeyHa
"Bitcoin was invented by [the devil/CIA/lizzard people/illuminati] to bring on the one-world government that 'the globalists' want." is really powerful meme if you wanna protect your community from predatory schemes like that OneCoin affiliate networks that was spreading around.
It amazes me that someone would go thru all the effort of creating a mock front-end for a "hosted wallet" that claims it 'mines' things and stores it on a 'blockchain' that never even existed.And the people schilling it were diehard fanatics.https://t.co/IZYMgHa4DG
It literally took me 10 minutes to login to the site and see it was bullshit. JFC."After Dr Ruja's non-appearance in Lisbon, a point came when Igor Alberts, like Jen McAdam, asked to see evidence of the blockchain. He didn't get it, and in December 2017 he quit."
Don't get me started on all the 'coins' that are trying to say that they run on 'proof of stake', but when you try to find the code to verify it, it suddenly is "patented" and a requires signing an NDA because it is 'game changing'.Yeah, I don't believe you.
At least stuff like 'Mine Together' actually ran a crypto currency miner🤣. At least they weren't lying when they said they mined it. Where it went? is another issue. Coinhive takes a 30% cut? Ok buddy.Funny how many of these initiatives don't have functioning websites anymore.
I think about how many people get sucked into these frenzies. Watching all these MLM fronts on blab and other social media properties.It is infectious.https://t.co/6rCBynbU08
I'm not actually laughing. I just want people to understand how easy it is to be swindled and dazzled by hype."OneCoin is also a cult and many members who invested are still very much brainwashed and in denial OneCoin is a scam."https://t.co/FhXZHKf11X
I don't even trust mainstream providers of hosted wallets. https://t.co/T1m5XjSaD8
I just give crypto away. I have no way to protect any of my assets and hanging on to crypto myself feels really sketchy. At least if I had cash, I would be able to hand it over if mugged while living on the street. https://t.co/7BT4SNxvcC
Personally, want to have someone mine the feces on the moon and run it thru a DNA analysis to see what (if any) of the microbes survived.https://t.co/10apNb4DPp
I find it funny that there is apparently 100 bags of feces left there from the moon missions. But everybody is freaking out about this particular event like we've not been polluting the moon since the very start.https://t.co/VILpcQoUMfhttps://t.co/ERxM5Dqhcq
If we can fund a moon mission with doge, I vote we make an effort to upload astronaut feces DNA onto a health blockchain.https://t.co/RfbHtySqKw
I have so many questions that mining astronaut feces would answer.https://t.co/BtfwYqZNa7
Reading thru this description of how coinhive worked https://t.co/v3rYh98jCc I am laughing.They don't even use Subresource Integrity?
Wild to think that the routers themselves would be hijacked and injecting cryptojacking code.Would be a shame if something like that happened for an ISP. Imagine what NetZero would have been like if crypto existed back then!https://t.co/21TacmqOvj
Oh neat, the author of the placeholder site even calls out how SRI would have solved the problem of him being able to backdoor all the infected sites.Good job! https://t.co/E7AveUpPAf
Huh. I just guessed."NetZero was the first company to invent real-time URL targeted advertising based on surfing patterns under US patent 6,366,298" https://t.co/hkwisHQWsj
Apparently some of those those telegram pump-and-dump hype groups have been using uniswap as a way to evolve their scam.https://t.co/xoiP0ll2lIMakes me sad. https://t.co/JasmtfT1G3
And they're trying to meme that massive shiba donation as the same kind of pullshit? That's some mad spin doctoring bruh. Blame the one who sent him the tokens and your idiocy for taking the risk on a meme coin.What a fucking joke.
The rug-pulling mechanism of creating a false sense of liquidity is why coinbase got hit when one of their employees appeared to have rigged the market. https://t.co/TAT2tbycAw https://t.co/sGoh3tgWAc
Did you know when a company sells a product to an out-of-country subsidiary, then sell it back to parent company, that the gross domestic product goes up? You can just do this over & over again with out any real costs, and it inflates numbers the same way. https://t.co/h6NRsZn0D3
False liquidity in finance metrics is everywhere. And when you realize how many people use these as pricing signals without an air of caution, things start to look really scary.https://t.co/2LqUa1FeW1
Watching Bill Gates and Warren Buffett celebrating GDP and economic growth as more families are added to this shithole we call a planet.Watching Bill Gates harp on the need to encourage plant based protien because there won't be enough food to go around.You fucking WAT m8?
All those people who Invested in OneCoin, and all the people who thought they were holding on to some real cryptocurrency... when it was all just a number in an SQL database somewhere.There is a lesson here. Can't put my finger on it.https://t.co/0TFHkn9IHK
Whoa, the collectivist model of the market failure is a near perfect extension of Yanis' "investment game" he describes here: https://t.co/HQ4djv3OMBAmazing what pops out when I start thinking about selling stickers on the open market and how tech companies are chasing fads.

It's been bad ever since Ethereum's ICO. https://t.co/FRHCTqpWsZI think the disgust is often a valid response given how many scams are being pushed. Misguided attacks maybe, but the branding helps protect many people from being swindled.https://t.co/xhl9s5PYOA
I saw Tom Brady is behind an NFT platform targeting sports stars. Every time I go to talk about it, I accidentally transpose NFT with FMT.https://t.co/E0W4mAu4OW

Gosh, can you imagine not having any way to secure your assets?https://t.co/Xtq1aaSfDb
"Buy, sell, and _securely hold cryptocurrencies_ with PayPal"So if my Paypal account gets fucked for some reason, does that mean I lose access to a hosted bitcoin wallet? That sketches me out.I am reminded of @KikiSchirr's recent experience with them.https://t.co/Kte7jbEcnv

Since Vitalik followed me I've been getting a lot more spam and scam accounts messaging me cuz they assume I have crypto. It sucks.Good thing I enjoy reporting them to the SEC.https://t.co/6xIckZ8LJs
Having a reputation for being absolutely savage is a fantastic strategy to fight insidious investment scams etc.https://t.co/fE3UEhwho9
I'm all for privacy in transactions (I support zcash/monero for what they are doing for privacy), but holy shit does it scare people when you mention that all these things can be tracked when using a typical public blockchain.https://t.co/4z8AybFUrI
Happy to take some hate for shitting on people who are trying to promote things that are specious and unreliable.https://t.co/rvIU8jxtxJ
It's easier to file a complaint to the SEC than to get foodstamps FYIhttps://t.co/RI0rEbC4qq
Yes, spam me. I do so love spending my time destroying your entire business model and collecting data to report you for investment fraud. https://t.co/lxXeix5iaR
huh."They’re converging on the idea that it’s time to stop using gross domestic product (GDP) as the world’s main measure of prosperity, and to complement it with a dashboard of indicators, possibly ones linked to the [Sustainable Development Goals]."https://t.co/Jfg24xcXBx
"Since it is not possible to quantitatively establish the status of the total of real goods and services, one cannot take seriously the various data like real GDP that government statisticians generate." https://t.co/6DzDttqyvY
@ultimape article seems to conflate "cannot perfectly measure" with "measurement is pointless" so yeah summarising the productive power of an economy as a single number is a lossy compression but that doesn't mean it's worthless
"Seeking to maximize that macroeconomic measure translates, at a microeconomic level, to each business cutting costs to achieve the highest possible short-term profits." https://t.co/aG3dY6Iciyhttps://t.co/RKMygl0lfs
I found a scam that tricks you into putting money into the wrong account after a repeated transfer. https://t.co/jSX3gtt7rX
Someone figured out you can spoof sending USDC coin for $0 (and cost of some some txn fees). It makes it look like you sent money to an address.If your software presents it as your own (@Trezor, fix this) and you go back to copy the address absentmindedly...
It seems Celsius was a very convoluted variation on a pyramid scheme. Oof.https://t.co/6tlalb7FYBSome bankruns are justified. https://t.co/qqijXAiU3x
