Someone lost $68M (1155 WBTC) three hours ago from an address poisoning scam by mistakenly copying the wrong address.

Pro-tip: when transferring 70M USD worth of BTC, do a test transaction first 🤦‍♂️

💯. I mined back in 2013 and have 30 years of programming experience and I still struggle and make mistakes. It's like paying with a credit card and having to worry about what physical connection it's on and having to bridge funds...

This is why crypto won’t be mainstream for a long time.  It’s so difficult and dangerous to transact safely.  The killer crypto app will remove all of these hurdles, scams, gas fees, etc.

Oh boy, is this the guy or a coincidence?

I once lost 250 USD coz I wasn't paying attention and the lame exchange I use only supports USDC on Ethereum. Felt stupid for days. Would pay to watch an interview with this dude.

only true degens yolo copy/paste it all

also side note... i couldn't imagine living with that guilt

...and don't copy paste an obfuscated address, for Crom sake.

Or if you're going to do that, at least click on it and see if the transaction history looks correct... How do you accumulate that much wealth and not hire a professional firm to manage the day-to-day, or pay for a dev to build something specific for you. So weird.

But isn't the point of a test transaction to save the address into your wallet?

they did.

but then went and copied the address from spoof txn instead of the one they made.

I can't believe I'm reading this advice lol

This tip that you mentioned also works for the dating🤣

Maybe it's not the last money for the guy and he has much more on other addreses, and that's why he is not so careful as we think he should be? 🤷
