Keep an eye on your mail if it is an outside box since by all accounts it seems like it will probably be less about 'securing a gift for you and your family' than them getting referral bonuses for signing more people up.

Have any of your other neighbors been hit up on this same 'opportunity'? Might be good to find out.

And see about some identity protection checks after June 30th, or in general.

Yeah for those of us goons with neighbors that actually will talk to you it is tricky.

Just play up identity theft concerns, make up some poo poo about a past thing happening. Also what the hell is a crypto coin doing asking for know your customer regulations? Huge burning flag

In this case, the goal should be to be so blunt and straightforward that they back off, and if they no longer want to talk to you then consider that a bonus. "This sounds like a scam, I'm not interested."

Fuss and misery
There's a whiff of desperation in there, that they know they need to sign up other people in order to get the 'bonus' or whatever like an MLM pawn doing the math and realizing that they either need to take a bath or go in harder. Mail theft, identity theft, whatever it takes to get their head above water.

Nugen is absolutely selling PII on whatever shady marketplace there is for that poo poo.

The thing that gets me about all the exchanges shutting down withdrawls and such, is that it must be generating a huge head of panic behind that dam. Can you imagine your bank refusing you access to your money for whatever reason? The hot second they open up again I'd yoink every red cent out of there and stuff it in my mattress. Celsius, Bitfinwhatever, all those exchanges that have 'paused' withdrawls can't possibly unfreeze them because the moment they do there'll be an avalanche of people who have freaked out and want cash in hand vs. yo-yo funbucks

Good point, expect them to pull the “free gift but you need to invest $5000 dollars to get your 20K gift yes I brought it up at the last minute why are you making a big deal out of this”

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

if he's buying the shitcoins for you as a gift, he's the C that they have to K in KYC. so he's definitely trying to scam you. if he's asking you to trust him more and is upset that you aren't trusting him more, that's definitely confirmation. just say no to everything, even very innocuous things like taking in packages, and make sure any guests or family members are clued in. he's dumb enough that he's probably going to get caught soon if he's had any success so you want to avoid providing him any freedom liquidity, if you catch my drift.

I'm a bad liar and would just outright say that the whole thing sounds like a scam. I had a neighbor try to sell me on a gold scam a few years ago. I declined and I respectfully argued that it's a scam. Stand up for yourself. You're doing the right thing if you call it out. They're going to either knowingly or unknowingly scam other people.

Stop being passive and just outright say no and some other hard rebuttal. Also warn some of the other people on the street.

Also also warn him you will report mail crimes if he tries to mess with your mail/mailbox and you will ask the USPS cops that you want to be the one to kick him into the their oubliette.

I can't speak to technical analysis or anything but the big players are desperately trying to pump the price back up to keep everything afloat. A lot of these DeFi protocols and other more explicit ponzis only appear to work when the line is going up, and when they fail there are cascading effects like the thing that motivated that Solend fiasco. We're seeing a lot more stablecoins being printed and there are rumors of big players bailing out various things.

I'm not sure what the threshold is for things to really start collapsing but BTC being significantly under 20k for any long duration will cause a lot more chaos

This is the time when the real grifters cash out, and the middling grifters waste a ton of money trying to prop everything up and keep the plates spinning. I love it everyone loses.

Do you have an Air Miles Card?
Another "defi" lending platform is about to go bust

Invest Voyager lent 15,250 BTC + 350 million USDC to 3AC, who haven't been returning phone calls for a while now and presumably have no money left. Voyager has given 3AC til Friday to pay up or will consider it to be in default (spoiler alert: they won't pay up because they don't have any money). Now customer withdrawals are being limited, in some cases to $0.

Meanwhile, BlockFi, which also has 3AC exposure, got a $250 million loan from FTX so they can pretend everything's fine for a while longer:

Edit: Also some pro tier doublespeak here:
https://twitter.com/BlockFiZac/status/1539216595729453056

The "proceeds" of the loan are "intended to be" subordinate to client's accounts. Translation: if BlockFi goes tits up, FTX gets paid back before BlockFi's clients.

Nah, that was a bacryonym.

As far as I know it was just baby talk "friend", it only started have racist connotations after Frenworld was created, which was a clown centric neo-nazi subreddit that communicated in baby talk, because the 2020's are stupid. Although after "fren"'s thorough association Frenworld it's definitely a red flag when people use it.

I think you should report that scam coin to the FTC or your state office. Link: https://www.usa.gov/stop-scams-frauds

Not because they will do anything necessarily, but because it will reaffirm to YOU that yes this is indeed a scam and no you should 100% not participate.

If there's anything the last decade or so should have taught us, it's that there are few if any arguments that morons can be refuted by, so you're better off just telling them to get bent because that's clear and concise language they can definitely understand

Also nobody should give a poo poo what their neighbors think about them, especially if their neighbors are trying to actively push dumb cryptocurrency poo poo on them. As long as they aren't making meth or waking me up at 3 AM with loud arguments/music, I don't give a poo poo what my neighbors do otherwise
