I was just talking to lady who got scammed. Asking me how she can pull her money.

She paid the scammer money and he sent her an xpub to add to blue wallet.

She saw her bitcoin stash increase daily, thinking that’s her wallet.

Really sad.

We just need more education on scamming. Not sure who works on that.

Seems to me like education is just a product of time and improved resources. The same way a 70 year old now has a basic idea of what an IP address is, people will have a basic idea of public/private key cryptography.

Someday I will be the one falling for AI scams probably because I don't understand about biometric digital signatures or something.

That really is the issue. Getting into Bitcoin takes five minutes. How to not lose it all takes a lifetime of learning.
