This is why you shouldn't wholeheartedly give money to people online without even knowing them that well.

I would even expand this that you (probably) shouldn’t give $300,000 to anyone, ever.

The highlight to me in this article is how pandemic loneliness + crypto frenzy has made this type of victim a lot more common today.

You can't do anything about crypto over the short-term, but I hope the loneliness aspect of this gets reduced as people slowly go back to their pre-pandemic lives.

Great! :D

I think uBlock Origin is definitely a must-have as a browser extension.

This is some big news, I do appreciate that this is on the front page.

Real Estate prices are beyond saving at this point, prices skyrocketed slowly up until now.

I do support Telegram on this one. They need it for their further growth and expansion. This will increase the user and brand of the ads will try to promote.
