BlackPool Bulletin #39

How to scam millions of people, but silently? Do it slowly. That is how a big group of influencers drained more than $200M through hundreds of projects. Mainly through little NFT collections. Why would you trust projects with two tweets and already 30k followers? Saying DYOR everyday, yet not doing basic due diligence is the symptom of this endless greed.

Hoping that the bear market will clean this ecosystem isn’t enough, we still need to educate ourselves on a daily basis to enjoy more of the incredible work achieved by the (true) builders. The evolution is going so fast that it’s impossible to catch up on everything. Slow your pace and learn, and maybe you won’t get scammed.
