Yesterday, I Fell into a Honeypot Trap — Be Cautious!
Yesterday, I received three unexpected incoming transfers in my wallet:
5,000,000 SHIB
540 USDC (with a suspicious short link)
200 USDT (worth around $200)
At first glance, this looked like a blessing. But in reality, it was a honeypot attack — a common trap where scammers send fake tokens or funds to your wallet to lure you into interacting with malicious smart contracts or phishing links.
Here’s what you need to know:
Never click on suspicious links attached to token names (like the [t.ly/...] in the USDC transaction).
Don’t try to swap or transfer suspicious tokens without checking them on a block explorer.
These tokens can trigger smart contracts that drain your wallet once interacted with.
Stay Safe: Always verify unexpected transactions. Use tools like Etherscan or BSScan to inspect the contract and transaction details. And remember, if it looks too good to be true—it probably is.
The late John McAfee claimed it's obvious from simple textual analysis of the Bitcoin white paper: all British spelling and two spaces after every period.
"There were only two of the accused who were British. And only one has two spaces in every one of his papers." His challenge:
"Figure it out, people. It'll take you 15 minutes."
#BTC CQ: Crypto markets enter a slowdown phase. The number of active Bitcoin wallets has fallen to its lowest level in the past year, indicating that even when prices move, fewer participants are actually transacting.
