šŸŽ„ A Bigg Boss showdown on Crypto YouTube

Gm. This is the doodhwala. We’re that one friend who will cover for you if you are dozing in class!

Aaj ka taaza khabar:

  • Don’t fall for the $MASK scam!

  • A Bigg Boss showdown on Crypto YouTube

  • Still Fresh Doodh

  • Milky Meme of the day

Don’t fall for the $MASK scam!

Remember that chokidaar?

That one that helped you cross the road, got the cricket ball back from under the car, and didn’t complain to the uncle when you hit his car?

You can think of the doodhwala as your crypto chokidaar.

Because we’re here to protect you from crypto scams. šŸ‘®šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø

One that’s going around is the MetaMask Scam.

What’s Metamask?

Metamask is a crypto wallet that can be used to interact with decentralized applications like DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and Metaverses. Users store and manage their private keys through a wallet address and a seed phrase. It can be accessed through a browser extension or a mobile app.

Unlike most things in crypto — MetaMask’s got no token.

There’s no $MASK and no $META, beta.

But that’s not stopping people from sending such emails:

The link on the ā€œCheck Eligibilityā€ button takes you to a website that looks exactly like the official Metamask website which is — metamask.io.

Once you connect your wallet to receive the ā€œAirdropā€ here’s what we think happens:

😈 asks you for your seed phrase

🤔 drains your wallet

😭 you cry

MetaMask’s execs said earlier this year they’re down to launch a token.

And everyone wants it because MetaMask is like a gateway drug into the world of decentralized apps (bad reference?)

When they launch a token, it’ll be HUGE.

Why?

Quick facts on MetaMask:

  • 21 million monthly active users

  • connects to 3.7k apps

  • daily swap volume of > $10 million (Rs 80 crore)

But we’ll all gotta wait for the MetaMask token. Till then don’t fall for any $MASK scams. āœŒļø

A Bigg Boss showdown on Crypto YouTube

Speaking of scams, we know a place that’s full of em!

No, I’m not talking about Palika Bazaar or Chor Bazaar.

I’m talking about a bigger scam-pumping-marketplace.

šŸ“ŗ YouTube šŸ“ŗ

YouTube is full of videos selling crypto scams!

And one YouTuber that’s accused of promoting crypto scams is — BitBoy.

And BitBoy is a BigBoy by followers:

  • Youtube: 1.4 million subscribers

  • Instagram: 475k followers

  • Twitter: 880k followers

Who’s calling him out? Another YouTuber called — Atozy

Long story short: Atozy called BitBoy a ā€˜dirtbag scammer’ in a video from 2021. And BitBoy responded with a straight up lawsuit for defamation.

Now, BitBoy dropped the lawsuit the minute it went public, because he didn’t know it would get so famous!

Yeah, a dude with over a million followers pumping crypto projects costing investors millions, and people calling him out won’t be BIG news!

And, we’re Indians! We hate scammers 🤔 but love the goss šŸ’„

After all, why do you think Big Boss is so famous?

Btw, just for the doodhwala’s record, BitBoy is a hella shady character:

The man promoted a bunch of projects that turned out to be duds and their tokens dropped to ~0:

  • Ink Protocol

  • ZAO Finance

  • Ethereum Yield

  • Meridian Network

  • Cypherium Blockchain

  • PAMP Network (really?)

He’s promoting scams like Karan Johar promotes rich film star’s rich kids.

And what does BitBoy charge for this?

A BOMB! That’s what.

Here’s a BitBoy charge sheet from 2021 floating around Crypto Twitter:

The worse part for us is: BitBoy has 1.4 million subs, 213 million views and Indians make up 3.2% of his audience.

Aiyooo!

Doodhwala’s take: Crypto scams on social media are like software engineers in BLR, too many to keep up with. Many times, unknowingly or knowingly, influencers promote em. And we gotta call em out!
