|Scamdrops|

Back when I visited @poocoinapp to track small cap coin, I casually connected my wallet to the website only to witness a total wallet balance of $100K+.
Via the website and wallet's details, I saw the 2 culprits.
"ARKR.org" and "DEX88.net" were pumping my bags by $50K+ each.
Was I richer overnight?
Start off by considering every "free" thing out there as a scam and reverse engineer it.

/Insert DYOR

If you happen to receive any unknown token DO NOT:
- Touch
- Try to exchange
- Try to sell
- Try to transfer

Just hide it.
Burry it deep in your wallet.
Let it rot.
Most of these scamdrops share the same template in their websites
Sadly, there are many people felling victims to these scams.

From @bscscan we can see that ARKR.org and the contract tracker there are many people trying to claim these "$50K" via transfers.
Thankfully, due to excessive reporting, BSCscan has flagged this as a scam "Fake_Phishing96".
WHY?

Phishing

A type of social engineering attack often used to steal user data, including login credentials and credit card numbers. It occurs when an attacker, masquerading as a trusted entity, dupes a victim into opening an email, instant message, or text message.
HOW?

When you approve a tx from their contract via your wallet, you literally authorize a scammer to take all the tokens from your wallet.

DO NOT PUSH THIS!

Stay vigilant!

How the situation surrounding NFTs will INEVITABLY change -it's nothing like you'd imagine.

🧵
This thread aims to provide you with my POV about NFTs regarding:

1. The status of their current BRANDING

2. The major CHALLENGE to mass adoption

3. A glance at the FUTURE of the ecosystem*

4. Things to kindly CONSIDER

*This is, by no means, financial advice.
1. The BRANDING

One day when I was on the phone, a friend of mine heard me saying "don't sleep on NFTs... NFTs this... NFTs that..."

His expression abruptly changed:

"NFTs? Watch out buddy, this is a well-known Ponzi scheme that destroys the environment"

Hard NFT pills to swallow.

15 facts that are difficult to accept.

🧵👇 Image
Pill #1: Every NFT project is a Ponzi, until proven otherwise.

Some intentionally while others not, the result remains the same; people will be holding a bag of rocks by the time the music stops.

Pill #2: Ponzis can be profitable.

But only if you have the proper timing.

Super hyped projects are producing $Ms of volume.

They are still unethical and will go to 0.

Make sure you are not there by then.

Today is my 1st #cryptoversary.

I don't have an eye-catching story of massive success to tell; however, I will humbly try to add some value.

If I could help at least one NFT newcomer, it would mean the world to me.

My lessons learned so far 🧵

(TLDR in /16)
1/ EDUCATION

I have spent this one-year time massively investing in my education (roughly 75%):

YouTube: @coinbeurau, @DCLBlogger, @whiteboardcrypto and a ton of other videos helped me a lot with the fundamentals. Thanks 🙏
2/ Twitter accounts: The above-mentioned, @Zeneca_33, @loopify, @punk6529, @ryancarson, @wilxlee, @richerd, @thedefiedge, @DataNFT_ and many more helped to consolidate my basic knowledge and slowly but surely move to the next level. Thanks🙏

|Crypto Time|

CT (crypto time) is at least normal time x3, or at least our perception of it.

Normally, we perceive time as "8-hour blocks" due to the typical workday length.

After this, the "day" is over and we are heading home, right?
Thanks to globalization and the internet, blockchain is running 24/7/365, with people actually being present and active.

That means that things are moving in the one hemisphere, while people of the other half are literally sleeping.

Imagine that being a reality in your work.
Furthermore, with so many people CONSTANTLY building, so many events running at the same time and so many chain reactions happening, we are all bombarded by news every minute.

To sum things up, all the above-mentioned are causing a distortion in our perception of time.
