Is twitter really such a Wild West for scammers or is that just the cryptosphere?
It won't stop until the bubble crashes or enough people wise up that the scammers no longer make money. As it stands low effort shitcoin token scams using digital variants of the "big store" and Ponzi schemes are still cashing out pretty good.
