Scammers hacked the late actor Matthew Perry’s Twitter account and posted a fake plea for cryptocurrency donations in the name of his foundation. The foundation confirmed the post was a scam and urged people not to donate.
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.
Weird that they wouldn’t either delete the account or memorialize it thereby removing the ability to log in or create posts.
But hey! It’s Twitter, the worst managed social media platform on the internet!
Lol, isn’t “cryptocurrency scam” a little repetitive?
The fact that people are still saying things like this about crypto—even after ETF approval—is proof that it’s still early. By the time the average person realizes what’s been going on with Bitcoin, it’ll be too late for you.
I’ve already tripled my initial investment from a year ago, and we’re just only getting started.
I can’t tell whether you’re a real crypto person or not. Real crypto people don’t believe in ETFs because you’re not holding your own keys. So it sounds like you are just in it to make more fiat, which is bullshit. But I could be wrong about you.
That’s why I don’t buy ETFs. Never said I did. Keep it all in a hardware wallet, only leaving enough on an exchange for day-to-day transactions.
Sure
Not like we still get daily updates on here: https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/
Then invest in ETH instead. It uses proof of stake instead of proof of work.
To be fair, it makes sense for chai tea to be made explicit from unspiced black tea while still letting people unfamiliar with it know that it’s tea. Cryptocurrency not so much.
Nope, most crypto use is legit. ~1% is illegal and such. Throwing the baby out with the bath water.
It’s a ponze scheme. It always was. It may have found a niche, unregulated market, but that doesn’t make it any less of a ponze scheme
It was specifically designed to be a currency and that’s what people are using it for. So I guess currencies can be Ponzi schemes. The dollar sure is one.
Every celebrity/rich has a foundation. And they make you believe that they do it to help the poor.
He had a foundation for helping people with addiction issues. By all accounts he was very committed and proud and it helped a lot of people but you continue making generalisations and insensitive suggestions.
Your thinking is so interesting that I need to learn the way you think. Please answer this if you don’t mind: If someone who are good at what they are doing are garbage, how do you define those that are not good at what they are doing?
Crypto being used for scams? Say it ain’t so!
Nope, ~1% if crypto is illegal use. The other 99% is perfectly above board. Cryptocurrency IS currency and so will be used for illegal activity just like every other currency
Sure, not like 72 billion has been used in scams or anything.
Biggest scams are done in USD. The big part of not falling for a scam is doing your due diligence and people are adults and should be treated as such.
Biggest scams are done in USD.
That’s because USD is widely used.
Crypto isn’t widely used and it still has scams worth millions. Cryptwats are 🤡🤡🤡
*billions
At most a couple thousand. Ive been using crypto for ~10 years now and by doing my homework and not jumping on hype trains have not been scammed.
Could I be receiving anymore bitcoin??
