and you can't help him?

if he knew that you were available

for advice and didnt consult - not your problem.

I was listening to some podcasts on YouTube, and ads for a cloud mining app kept appearing. I don’t remember the name, but I saw several of the ads.

Really unfortunate πŸ˜” I’m sorry that happened to your friend; these scams are all too common and can be a real headache.

Fuck, that sucks.

Damn. Sorry for their loss πŸ˜”

That sucks! Was it one of those mining rental services?

I am not given to finding fault, for there are innumerable fools.

Your family has bad karma. Must be for being a cuck to nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8

When I talk with anyone that shows interest in "bitcoin" I approach it knowing they are being bombarded with scams.

I liken it to an ocean full of boats... and they all have leaks but one... the bitcoin boat. Is the newb going to waste time researching the vast sea of sinking ships or seek out the noah's ark of life boats... it simplifies the decision and focuses them on the positive, winning solution.

Have them download a wallet and send them some bitcoin... and the seed is planted.

yea its important to fully guide them rather than just tell them to search bitcoin

I was a victim to a mining scam recently as well. Lost very little cause the cold storage is too cold. But they fooled me with Ai voice of a friend and knew personal things about him ( probably gathered the info online). Be careful out there, maybe having a secret word would have helped.

older people are constantly scammed.

yea its brutal

I've accidentally identified clients are in these scams a few times just by talking to them about crypto. It's an epidemic.

Pretty sure me plus all my family members and friends got scammed by the transinternational elite. People make mistakes. We're only human. Just do what you can an SH SS about it.

you gotta fully dox the "fake bitcoin mining scheme", hopefully save the next victims

its a pretty scammy looking website tbh

Scams and thefts really hurt the space
