CryptoTwitter Drama files, Part 1
The first in a series documenting the most dysfunctional industry in the entire world.
This post starts off with what I put on Twitter and then continues on with a bunch of added commentary after the bolded line. If you already read the initial post, you might wanna skip to bold.
This week's cryptotwitter drama subplot centers around a sneaky Indian man named "Sewyash."
Ol' Sewyash went around begging everyone he knew for money. Someone gave the dude $920 and after he got the payout, he deactivated and ran off.
The stealing itself wasn't unusual, and wasn't the main point of contention - what people really got worked up over was that he scammed someone for ONLY $920.
Massive scams are extremely common in crypto, with people often taking tens of millions. If they do it in a clever enough way, the community might actually celebrate the scammer's ingenuity.
The idea Sewyash would so fear the repercussions of stealing $920 left everyone bewildered. There was this general sense of "Come on man, it wasn't even 1k. Who cares. My favorite influencer stole $15m this spring, it's not really a big deal."
People started wondering if Sewyash was poor - maybe $920 was a ton of money for him? A picture of Sewyash started circulating that cometely debunked that, though.
The regality with which he was dressed made it clear we were dealing with some kind of prince, or maybe even a young king.
To this day, nobody has any clue what motivated Sewyash to act this way.
My only hope is that he'll realize we still love him, come back, and try to do better.
We'll forgive a scammer 100x, but we'll never forgive a pussy.
Set your sights on at least $100k next time.
This marks the end of my longpost as first posted on Twitter, but I have some thoughts on it below. I do some rambling sometimes in my Telegram channel, too
I get that a lot of people who follow me don’t really give a shit about crypto, but almost all of them do care about funny stuff. The stuff that goes on in crypto is simply hilarious. Even if you have 0 interest in participating financially, there’s a lot you can learn or laugh about.
I’m obviously biased. I love the industry with all my heart, for a whole bunch of reasons.
