Story time. A couple of years ago one of my followers on Twitter made worqas.eth ENS and just gave it to me. I didn't know the guy at all and it felt like a really nice gesture. He said that I can use that and fund my journalism through crypto. I said thank you but no thanks. I had never even considered that possibility up till that point. He insisted that I accept this gift. So I thanked the guy profusely, and to show my gratitude I tweeted about it. I tweeted that this random guy I don't even know has given me this ENS (I still don't know how it works) and I am excited about it. As soon as I tweeted it, a bunch of my dedicated haters (Pakistani military has a lot of trolls) descended on that tweet, started quote tweeting me etc and saying that I was running some sort of crypto scam and there is no random guy who has donated me anything. Someone even took out some screenshot of a blockchain transaction "proving" that I had purchased the domain myself. I didn't know what to make of all that.

That’s wild. What started as a kind gesture turned into chaos real quick. Sad how people twist things, even when you’re just being honest and thankful. You handled it well!
