Hello beautiful humans!

Kenny Palurintano here, with a special PSA.

Over the last couple of weeks, multiple artists I know have been approached with crypto scams.

One was told the person had a Bitcoin tip for him, but he had to go to a certain site to get it, and then the site wanted $300 in order to unlock the $3000

Two others were told that their art was wanted for a big digital gallery showing.. they just had to pay to mint the NFTs on some random site(s) - also trying to take $300.

If someone reaches out about anything like this, 99% it's a scam. Here's a couple key reminders & things to check:

  1. To send you crypto, nobody ever needs anything but your public receiving address.
  2. DON'T CLICK LINKS FROM RANDOS!!! Put the url into presearch, and try it with "is a scam?" and "_ reviews"
  3. When in doubt, ask someone you know & trust, who knows about crypto.
  4. If you have to ask, it's probably a scam.

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. The more pressure someone puts on you to act now, the less likely they are honest. These principles apply to everything from commercials to spam calls to crypto scams.

SOOOO well.

Nothing better than life in the real world, not taking in internet stories.

Yeay... Kenny's back!!! And I've already given up hope, but what a nice way to be wrong. I'm super psyched, and really look forward to seeing more cool posts from you.

Not really back. Just shared this around on Telegram and thought I'd throw it here too.

Pretty sure if I were to try to come back, I and others would begin getting massively downvoted again.

You never know, things may change... Even though I am the one who doesn't really know. But there may always be a chance. In any case, I would love to see you back (as you kinda are, hehehe).
