    I just watched a YouTube ad that has Michael Saylor offering to double any BTC you send to them. You send some to their address and they’ll send you double the amount. I remember that Elon had done something like this a few years back and got excited. Then I googled it and seen old news reports about deepfakes of Saylor offering the same thing. I almost fell for it….

    Gotta be careful. There are so many different kinds of scams it's unreal. Careful of any emails telling you to log into your crypto account, also, anytime you try to log into your account and it doesn't take you directly to your account but takes you to another log in page, you need to change your password immediately. So many scams, and way too early in the game to be losing your crypto

    Hardworking and smart scammers really deserve to earn

    tons and tons of money from

    gullible foolish lazy people.


    No pity, no sympathy for those who lose $$$ to the scammers.

    Sooner or later, @long will lose $$$ to the scammers.

    A similar video is on a “microstrategy” YouTube channel that has 150k subscribers. Why doesn’t YouTube take it down?

    Edit: it takes you to a fake YouTube site in the browser. These people are good…

    There are millions of such scammers.
    You can contact YouTube to have it removed.

    After that, there will be another million such cases. You can contact YouTube to have it removed. And so on

    Then you will be extremely busy.
    Good luck!

    So? Prince used to do it. The NFL and Disney still do it. I assume a billionaire could hire a part time employee who has nothing to do just keep the Microstrategy name blameless.

    Youtube site is real, but its clearly a deepfake video. For those interested, they even show a QR Code to make it easy for you to send them bitcoin and get double back!
