Social engineers pretending to be Google Support keep calling me, so I decided to have some fun.

Social engineers pretending to be Google Support keep calling me, so I took the opportunity to create this educational video showcasing their tactics.
An open letter to the Bitcoin ecosystem:
Had a bank block a 6 figure wire transfer and ask me for "supporting documentation."
I told them my legal contracts are none of their business and if it was a problem, I'd take my business to my credit union because they don't give me grief.
Surprisingly, it worked! Feels good to make a bank bend the knee. Fully expected them to close my account.
Seems like the only thing I ever randomly win is TSA enhanced screening.
It's disheartening to see so much Bitcoin discourse saying that institutional custodians are the safest way to store bitcoin, but then again I already knew that most people are lazy statist cucks with little appreciation for privacy and freedom.

Bad news: we just doubled the total number of known attacks to over 700.

I swear I'm getting a dozen slop grenades lobbed at me every day and it's exhausting.
