When did you realise that you had to get into crypto and how did you feel?

As is the case for most of us, we didn’t come into crypto as early as we would have liked to. 2009 marked the birth of our beloved BTC and I’m sure we all remember hearing snippets of this new internet currency and didn’t think too much of it. “It’s just pretend, it has no real value” we would think and hear… As the years rolled by there was more and more talk of this pretend money, big names started discussing it on panel shows, celebrities would mention they had invested and news articles were being produced. Still, surely this crypto is nothing more than a fad right? Further along, Bitcoin is dominating the web and news during periods on hype. Your friends are even talking about it but still you have your reservations but decide at last it’s time to figure out what this is really about. For me, even though I’d heard about Bitcoin in around 2012 and wanted to look into it, I didn’t really have any spare money or the motivation so I didn’t look too much into it. The thing tha...

Fake airdrop "lido.markets" flooding subreddits

I noticed an elaborate scam for an alleged airdrop for the LIDO liquid staking protocol that's flooding Reddit. The URL is "Lido.markets" and really well done, it doesn't look like a scam on first sight and features multiple links to the real "lido.fi" website. The fake URL was only created recently. It's been post in countless sub-Reddits, and almost all have not a single comment to state this is a scam. I think it's been posted over the last 4 hours. The scammer asks you to connect your wallet for a snapshot, which of course is nonsense. TL;dr Do not connect your wallet to fake airdrop URL "lido.markets". submitted by /u/wayfarer8888 [link] [comments] http://dlvr.it/StXpbH

Once again it looks like the overleveraged have come back to haunt us

Im honestly so tired of this, its really just so incredibly frustrating that once again it looks like someone swimming naked has pissed the pool for the rest of us. Im sure some if not most of you have heard of the recent Curve exploit that occurred, but i dont think everyone realizes the contagion that it could have on crypto. Its a top 5 defi protocol up there with Aave and Uniswap with ~3B in TVL. That is it did up until 3 days ago, where it has now been halved. Fair game, a hack is a hack. It can survive. Youd think life would go on, Curve would limp along maybe recover maybe not but no we still have Michael Egorov to worry about. Egorov is a founder/CEO of Curve Finance, hes a very smart man who likes expensive things. Hes got several positions on multiple protocols like Abracadabra, Aave, Fraxlend, etc. adding up to several hundreds of millions of dollars mostly propped up by the Curve token. Curve is not a shitcoin rug, its a long-standing defi protocol thats earned high g...
