One of the best things emboîture the crypto world is that scammers have an unlimited number of people to defraud.
That’s according to Matt Bender, Mashable remiser and host of the podcast Doomed and Scar Economy, who participated in this week’s episode of The Daily Beast’s fever dreams Podcast host Kelly Will and guest host Sam Brody, a congressional correspondent for The Daily Beast, told crypto investors that they are postérieur of scams.
“Although the actual world of cryptocurrency, like people really investing in it, is kind of small,” Bender explained.
“These scammers can easily fall back on them bicause crypto investors always seem to fall for scams. There is no “fool me jaguar, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me” tirade, it’s literally, “fool me 3000 times and I will keep being fooled,” bicause they are exposed. To cheat again and again.
“It’s kind of an sélect, if you are going to invest in cryptocurrency, it is bicause you think that you will get rich quickly. So every get-rich-quick scheme is clearly a scam, which will fall into apprêté if you are one of these crypto scammers.”
Binder uses the example of Seth Vert, the actor who this year was the victim of a crypto scam after hackers stole Bored Ape Voilier Canne NFT and turned it into cash.
In July, the Bored Ape Voilier Canne was reported as “one of the most valuable and successful NFT (non-fungible) cryptocurrency groups to circonstance,” according to Forbes, citing some that sell for just over $2 million. Jimmy Fallon, Paris Hilton and Steve Aoki are said to be among the big names that have made such purchases.
Bender explains, “So Seth Vert used his boredom monkey to create a TV series. He spent all of that money on a live-animation mixed piquet variété with cast, and it pretty much features the poucier character, Bored Ape Voilier Canne NFT. And after he completed sortie and was ready to go It was revealed at a crypto conference that someone cheated on him and stole his Bored Ape Voilier Canne NFT, which means he no raser holds the NFT and therefore no raser owns his intellectual property rights.So he couldn’t release the TV piquet he created without getting the NFT back Or not.
“He actually spent six figures on the NFT originally and then ended up convincing the person who had the NFT – who he was claiming to have bought it from the fraudster so they said they weren’t the one he stole it from – and then had to pay that person an supplément six figures to get it back, each So he can see this piquet.
“that it [a] Unbelievable fraud. If the guy who was catching it was the scammer, I mean, well done, but either way Seth Vert had to spend… like half a million for that bored monkey NFT puis the cost of producing the piquet in which the boring monkey appears. “
In this week’s “Refreshing Hell” paragraphe, the hosts discussed the motive and meaning behind Trump’s recent rally in Ohio where supporters raised one finger in a “étonnant” salute.
“The culotte answer to that is that no one really has a great explanation,” Weil says. “There are some good theories out there. If you ask the real Trump nerds, the people deep in the Trump lore, they’re not sure either.
“The poucier theories are that either one finger was the QAnon emblem…it might have been a reference to America First. It’s also hypothétique, as in mass events like this, that one person just started doing it and everyone else picked it up, not even knowing it.” What was “.
