    Looks like a huge scam.

    Video on youtube has been taken down with Michael Saylor telling everyone he will double the amount of Bitcoin you deposit to at his address. Do not fall for these scams, this looks like an AI generated movie. And I can tell because his facial expressions stay the same and his mouth is the only thing moving.

    Besides the fact I myself get scammed 365 times a year, these people should ask themselves if they would upload a video themselves asking people to sell them a loaf of bread for double the price in the grocery store.

    Some scams are too simple, the scammers could better do legal scams, like offering lower quality after the sale, or hidden costs in a million ways, create need for extra sales because of defective products etc etc

    But for the world to be a better place I like those scammers to stay ‘ simple ‘

  4. I used to wonder what woke people were falling for the really badly rendered AI clips. They even get the voices wrong as well as the lip synching, and make Saylor always sound like a robot.

    Even more entertaining, is how Youtube can't even get its own shitty AI system to flag obviously bad AI clips.

    This video on a scale from 1-10 had to be an 8. The lips matched the words perfectly, the voice sounded very fluently to the way Michael speaks.

    The only thing giving it away was the facial expressions.

    The human race is doomed...

    Regardless, why the hell would Saylor give you 2x when he could just buy it from the exchange? It's just mind-numbing to think how some people could fall for this kind of crap. :rolleyes:

    Because AI is so new that not everyone knows about it. And quite frankly, a lot of people investing in Bitcoin don't know any better...

    Don't have to worry about such videos.

    They are out to fool the gullible investors.
    Prudent, non-gullible investors wouldn't be fooled.

    Video is gone now, so good job to everyone who reported it.

    I remember when I was first really started learning about bitcoin, I came across the exact same thing, and I remember thinking at the time that it sounded believable. It wasn't a video or deep fake, but a comment on a youtube video that said was that someone found a bug in the code, and if you deposited coins, you could withdraw twice the amount. I never did anything about it, but in that moment, I did actually believe that something like this was possible. My thought wasn't that it was a scam, but rather that whatever protocol or project this was, it would have a massive hole in its balance sheet. It was only months later after seeing so many scams that it hit me that it too was a scam.

    I literally thought that some good person posted a note to say "come here for some free shit". Kind of like if a truck with beer rolled over and everyone raced to the accident site to see if they could "help" clean up the mess of beer cans all over the highway. It would make perfect sense for something like this to go viral and the first people on the scene would get the most beer. I think the post even mentioned about doing it quick before they discovered the bug and shut it down.
