The article details several possibilities for how the account may have been compromised, highlighting the importance of strong passwords and multi-factor authentication for securing social media accounts, especially for celebrities with large followings.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that. - George Carlin

You’ve admitted that you need to be cautious when using crypto because you buy the wrong one and you loose everything.

That little fact alone makes it fucking useless to the average person. FTX conned lots of people, celsius.

Seriously you’re just pissing in the wind and ya wonder why you’re getting wet

STOP PISSING IN THE FUCKING WIND!
WE DON’T CARE!

Buy the real ones, bitcoin, ethereum, monero. Second tire like litecoin are okay, but not as good. Stablecoins are not real crypto since they are managed by companies and can be revoked or frozen.

What is the point of cryptocurrency if someone like you has to tell other people which ones are the good ones?

In my view, the point is that everything will be tried, and lots will fail. But some will succeed, and those will become the things people go to. Another point is that most cryptocurrencies are either deflationary or inflationary, but controlled very strictly by code, and therefore runaway inflation will not happen. So there will be no more million dollars in Bobway bills, or Venice Waylas, or Argentina’s, or whatever, with hundreds and thousands of percent of inflation per year. Separation of money and state is something we should strive for because the state will no longer be able to fund endless wars and prosecution against innocent people. The way they do it now is through inflation, since taxation is not popular.
