I was this 🤌 close to losing $10,000 worth of Bitcoin in a social engineering attempt yesterday

I had my mouse on the SEND button

But for some reason, I paused

Maybe it's because this stuff is top of mind every day

Maybe it was luck

Maybe it was the universe looking out for me

My days are spend talking about physical security, encryption, cold storage to protect against $5 wrench attacks

But the biggest threat to Bitcoiners - imo - is AI and social engineering

Here's the story if you're interested 👇

Could have happened to anyone! I am happy for you that something protected you.

There was an imbalance between:

What does the famous YouTuber get and what do i get in return?

Maybe the social engineering part was the thought to connect closer to this famous Youtuber? Which obviously is a sexy, emotional thought.

Maybe its a reminder to always check-in with oneself and ask: whats my intention and what feeling is behind it?
