Putting $40K of "assets" into an app with ~200 reviews is real Apple enthusiast mindset

    Can't believe a currency made up entirely of scams would come to this.

    Oh well. Too bad there's no giant ledger of transactions one might leverage a regulated body against to retrieve money from fraudulent transactions.

    Tbf crypto has its uses like bypassing US sanctions and stuff. Juche Crypto Hackers are the only good people in the crypto community.

    I can't believe these losers still exist.

    I don't know how anyone can put $40k into something where the ownership belongs to the person with the keys, someone stole your keys? It's theirs now and you can't go to court for it. On top of the risk of buying such a high-risk volatile 'asset', you have to worry about someone else yoinking it. Atleast in the regular stonk markets, you only have the former to worry about.

    pizza-dance

    I can't say I've ever reached into my pocket and pulled out my fake wallet and used the fake debit card that drains all of my money across multiple credit unions by accident. Even bought a cheap wallet from some shady convention guy because it was Star Trek-themed. Zero reviews, no idea who made it. Moneycoin just seems to work like it should for the amount of energy that should cost.

    Who the fuck is putting cryptographic keys which can dispossess them of so much money on a phone to begin with?

    Let them bitch about a malicious app dev stealing it, at least they still have their thumbs.

  • if you have $40k in a software wallet you are a grade-A MORON. Spend $60 on a hardware wallet and this whole class of attacks goes away. I genuinely do feel bad for some of these people. Crypto is in a state right now where you can use it for the intended purpose (crime) if you're technical, and if you're non-technical it is very easy to be victimized by the people doing crime. The genius is that everybody thinks they're pulling one over on somebody else until they get cleaned out.

My brother is years behind on rent last I knew it isn't like he's a tech bro throwing pocket change into the meat grinder

    Crypto scams are on the rise and contrary to popular belief they don’t only target old rich people. My dad was selling his food stamps to “invest” in Bitcoin because his “friend” was an “investor“ who was gonna teach him how to do it. He’s got no savings and he’s actively going into debt over these scams. He seems scarily addicted to it and I don’t pretend to understand why but at the very least it seems to be compulsive behavior and he’s ruined his life over it.

    It’s incredibly funny that North Korea probably doesn’t even need to waste their zero days on these people. All they need is to trick a bunch of these dumbasses and make off with $50 million
