I think this is indeed a great post from @udiWertheimer since he is not wrong.
Reading the comments here and here just further confirms that most can't be bothered to understand Ordinals/inscriptions/BRC20s but still have strong opinions about them and hate them, I would say. Some even mentioned that they didn't even read the tweet. That's how spot on @udiWertheimer is about some bitcoiners.
At least I must admit that I don't understand Ordinals/inscriptions/BRC20s on a technical level. So I definitely shouldn't put strong opinions of them out there (which I think I didn't).
Essentially, he explains how systems are usually exploited. Something was found that wasn't found before by a black hat and it got exploited. Now we should do the same with them and their stuff. We need to understand these people (recon) and then use this information against them (like social engineering). Same for what's happening onchain. We need more people like @supertestnet, Breaker of JPEGs. The chance that we can do something about it effectively (without digging our own grave) increases when more people understand this stuff on a technical level.
This should be obvious but unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case.
I saw this notification come in and I was like FFS Swan, can you guys just get your act together. Then a little while later, I read it and didn’t suspect anything until I saw a seed phrase that I was supposed to “recover” my Swan funds into and I only had a week to do it. Then I knew it was complete bullshit when I saw the CTA and sender domains. Thankfully I don’t keep any funds with them, but I bet a lot of people fell for this scam.
It’s kinda strange that they ask you to set up a new wallet but I guess this makes it more believable. It would be funny if they sent the same seed phrase to everyone and someone rugged the attacker’s funds.
seeing another big day of visitors on SN, October is already an all-time record month for unique visitors, visits, and pageviews

Hey, has anyone noticed that in the last few days SN seems to have a flood of new, quality, non bot accounts posting good stuff? It seems so sudden to me, but I'm not complaining.
