RE: Crypto Christmas and World Wide Web New Year
Merry Christmas Arthur!
I have never been hacked (as far as I know) but I have been scammed a couple of times in the crypto world. Both times I perhaps got a little too greedy and didn't listen to my better judgement. So I do sort of know what it is like to be a victim of these internet predators. It was actually these incidents that turned me off of crypto for a couple of years which of course turned out to be a big mistake for my pocket book.
You mentioned the psychology of these criminals and it is a very interesting thing. I had a short email conversation with one of these scammers after I was victimized and you were right about the mindset being that "if you are stupid enough to fall prey to me then you deserve it." Sort of like the scorpion and frog parable where the scorpion tells the frog after stinging him it is in his nature.
Thanks for the words my good man - yes indeed, this is what I an concerned about that people being scammed or hacked will be put off joining the crypto-revolution- Good to hear you came bacc. Hopefully security will improve. Merry Christmas to you and yours : )
When I hear about these episodes, I always think to the banality of evil. Which btw is a book I loved from Hanna Arendt.
Looks like an interesting read.
