Any tips about how to respond to things like this in a way that is normal and cool? I think anything I'd have to say would sound deranged to most other people.
the normal and cool way to respond is with an "lmao" and perhaps a quick "lol"
IDK copy and paste this:
The "Nigerian Letter" or “419” Fraud/Scams often include typos, etc., so that non-gullible people notice and mark spam or ignore.
NFTs are kind of like those typos. Only an idiot would look at NFTs and think "Wow, this is a reasonable value for the price, not doing too much environmental destruction, and the concept of artificial scarcity is desirable!" Now you have a place, generally called "The NFT community", where almost everyone has pre-selected themselves to be three things: an idiot, enough money to not care about "gas fees", and already spent money on questionable "investments".
It's like an all-you-can-scam buffet.
just make fun of them for falling for a get rich quick scheme
He says the scammer posted a chance to win ten hard-to-find NFT avatars on CryptoPunk’s Discord server. The poster used the name “cryptopunksbot” and indicate the offer was being made to celebrate the project’s four-year anniversary.
Stazie attempted to win the NFTs and logged onto a bogus website and entered his twelve-word seed phrase after being falsely notified the security of his Metamask wallet has been compromised. After sending the phrase to the scammer the NFTs and ETH were quickly removed from Stazie's wallet.
Oh OK, so it's like a fraudulent ACH transfer of all your money, except instead of easily reversible it's permanent and irreversible.
An online friend wants me to work for a group that is making a "rev share game with an NFT core". Not sure if I'm gonna have the time, but I'll let y'all know how that works out.
with how much ethereum crashed since may, probably did the guy a favour taking it off his hands lmao
I read the article but still don't understand any of what went on. That's the first sign of a scam right? That the thing being sold is purposefully muddied in definition.
