So, apparently, we’re at peak stupidity. The numbers, according to some report – CORP-DEPO, I think? Honestly, who names these things? – are just…astounding. Over 100,000 crypto scams this year. A hundred thousand. And people are losing real money. Ten thousand dollars, on average. Ten. Thousand. Dollars. For what? Hoping to get rich quick with…digital magic beans?
And now, of course, it’s AI’s fault. Everything is AI’s fault. It’s like they needed a way to make these scams more infuriating. Like it wasn’t bad enough that people are willingly handing over their money, now they’re doing it to…algorithms? It’s just…preposterous. They’re practically begging to be fleeced.
The latest outrage? This OpenClaw thing. Apparently, it’s “the next ChatGPT,” according to Jensen Huang. Jensen Huang! Like he knows. He’s selling graphics cards, not dispensing financial advice. And now, predictably, there’s a scam attached. Developers, they said, could get free tokens if they linked their wallets. Linked their wallets! It’s like a trap. A ridiculously obvious trap.
And you know what happened? Of course, you know what happened. They drained the wallets. It’s so predictable it’s offensive. And then, to add insult to injury, they spoofed the founder’s social media. Spoofed it! Like it’s some kind of elaborate game. And then this CLAWD token…a pump and dump. Of course. It went from $16 million to zero. Zero! I mean, honestly, are people not paying attention?
The Problem Isn’t the Tech, It’s the People
So, what’s the solution? I don’t know. Common sense? Is that too much to ask? If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Especially if it involves cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. It’s like a double whammy of bad ideas. And paying in crypto? Forget about it. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. Like throwing money into a black hole. A digital black hole, but still.
And the social engineering…don’t even get me started. Deepfakes of company executives? Persuading employees to wire money? Twenty-five million dollars? It’s just…it’s exhausting. It’s like we’re living in a bad movie. And the fact that it’s happening on social media? Thirty-eight percent of these scams start on social media. It’s just…where are the filters? Where’s the responsibility?
Look, I’m not saying you shouldn’t invest in AI crypto. I’m just saying…be careful. If you’re hearing about it for the first time on social media, maybe think twice. And if someone is pressuring you to send money immediately, run. Just run. And for me? I’m sticking with Coinbase. At least they’ve done some vetting. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than nothing.
I’m also looking at market caps. At least $500 million. The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance – FET – that’s a good start. Anything smaller, and it’s probably just a pump-and-dump scheme waiting to happen. It’s just…it’s the principle of the thing. People need to be more discerning. More skeptical. More…annoying, frankly. If everyone was as annoying as me, maybe these scammers would go away.
