I feel like that's one thing that can never be called a scam. If you buy something called a "dog coin" it is pretty clear what kind of investment that is.

Lol, the company these rubes are wiring money to is literally in a mall across the street from a Casino in Las Vegas. Nothing suspicious about that. The fact that this mall has a bitcoin ATM is almost certainly not a coincidence:

Players earned cases in Counter-Strike containing weapons and cosmetic upgrades, but had to purchase the keys to open the boxes. Developer Valve runs an internal marketplace on Steam where it allowed players to trade the boxes and the keys. Valve patched the game on October 28 and explained the problem in its patch notes.

Hai guise, I clicked to a malware link on Discord and now my buttcoin wallet is rapidly drained in front of my eyes, already lost $130k (half of it) and I invite you to watch $260k melt: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/oip4mi/if_you_want_to_join_me_in_watching_metamask/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Only if there were systems that can reverse fraudulent charges

Look Mum No Computer (analog synth guy on youtube) made a somewhat musical real-time crypto currency monitor: Hearing them going down is kinda hilarious! He's actually live-streaming it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW0SOnxHFSw today, in case you want a weird cryptocurrency drone in the background.

Figures that guy would be a crypto nerd. I have followed his DIY guides to make modular synth stuff since I'm a synth nerd and the guides are pretty fun and decent.

Oh, I don't think he's into it, other than tangentially as a source for a signal - I mean maybe he is but the eye rolling and "I know nothing about crypto" seemed to indicate not.

The casino across the street isn't an on-the-Strip casino, it's not even the nicest off-Strip casino imo. Tivoli Village, now that I think about it, exactly the sort of place a coiner would want to put a Butt ATM: There's a fair amount of money in the area but without being organized (from what I can tell) under one of the major conglomerates in Vegas who would say "lmao get that poo poo outta here"

There's a buttcoin ATM at the local mall, but I live just south of San Francisco so I guess it's not too surprising. I've never seen anyone using it, of course.

Crypto has hit my office and the dudes especially here seem really excited about it. They all have their pet coins, no mention of BTC or ETH. One of them verbalized “hodl” and I internally winced. It certainly attracts a type and an age group. That’s my crypto story, thank you for your attention.

I live just outside of Chicago and there is a bitcoin ATM in the gas station down the street. A guy that I used to know was a waiter in the downtown area of my city and the owner of the restaurant, a very high end seafood place, put one in his restaurant. I've never seen or heard about anyone using either one. I guess the high end restaurant kind of makes sense but the gas station one baffles me.

The corner store by my house (also Chicago suburbs) has a Bitcoin ATM. There used to be one of those "put a quarter in and try to knock quarters off the shelf" machines there, so I think they just rent the space out to people.

I can't help but see Bitcoin ATMs as basically just cutting out the middleman in a card-skimming scheme. The ones I have seen in the wild only accept cash - they don't dispense it.

When they complain that it took the cash but the buttcoins never arrived, you just shrug and say "must have mis-typed your wallet address, better luck next time, CODE IS LAW"

Did David Gerard post on this forum? I seem to remember that. If so, I'm enjoying the 50 foot blockchain a bunch and will be lending it out to friends. I haven't followed the thread for years, but it doesnt seem like the basic analysis has changed much. Just new bullshit on top of the old with Chia and NFT.

David is the one who posted that twitter link - hopefully thats not doxxing, it seemed pretty clear from his twitter shout out there, and I know he's talked about his books here as well. Seconding his blog is a great read - its generally snarky, but full of good stuff. Hat tip to @ahcastor (on twitter & amycastor.com) as well if you dont follow her. They both are pretty frequent commenters in other media outlets as well.
