Hard to feign sympathy for a guy that self identifies as NFT GOD
Hey man, what if god was one of us? Just a slob like one of us? Just a stranger on the bus, trying to make his way home? (So he can buy jpgs and shitcoins on his hot wallet)

If you can get beyond the fact that the song is pretty bad, itâs slightly moving (upon reflection)

So you knew your twitter was hacking and then just relaxed and said NBD and didnât even think about your crypto?
I got a reset password request from my Apple ID that I didnât initiate and I freaked out assuming I was being targeted by someone - changed every username and password for everything important, set up 2FA everywhere. And I donât even own crypto.

I donât know shit about NFTs and cold wallets. But this all seems weird. Also the dudeâs attitude immediately going to âoh well, it happens, life moves onâ and not being in shock sand losing his mind for a few days.
Letâs just say heâs making this up for the sake of argument. Would that make sense if he wanted to keep his substack following without publicly dumping his NFTs? Or maybe for some kind of tax reasons?

Itâs probably true but the whole thing just seems crazy.

But then again, he keeps saying this over and over. Feels like over-explaining or something.
Havenât there been times people got their apes back through some combination of pressure and begging? Who wants to buy an obviously stolen ape?
Seems like a really dumb way to proceed after purposefully dumping his shit for whatever reason.
Just donât click anything that could be potentially malicious and you donât have to worry about any of this.
Yeah thatâs some Boomer-level shit Iâd chastise my Mom for doing.
The second part was a joke. The point is that it is fucking idiotic to not have a cold wallet. Itâs dumb that way too but a lot less so.
Apparently heâs saying he somehow accidentally turned a cold wallet into a hot wallet? Is that possible?
Or you could hold actual assets.

Short answer, yes. In effect, cold wallet means âI have never typed my seed phrase into a âhotâ internet-connected computer, so it is impossible for hackers to stealâ. If you fuck around with your seed phrase sometime after setting up your âcoldâ Ledger, itâs not really cold anymore.
Like many things crypto, that makes no sense to me. I thought cold wallets were physical devices that held your keys and arenât connected to the internet.
Is this seed phrase something for opensea?
You are right about cold wallets, but when you create one, you also generate a seed phrase, displayed on the device, that can restore your wallet (otherwise if it were lost or destroyed, you would lose your crypto). If you follow the instructions, that phrase will be recorded on paper only and canât be hacked.
The phrase can be used to restore your wallet to another ledger securely, or it can be used to restore to a software wallet, which means that it is now hot and potentially pwnable.
Got it, thanks.
Doesnât it seem like this guy did multiple really dumb things and they all just happened to come together in the most perfect way possible? And he wasnât worried at all after his twitter was hacked? Am I the only one who thinks thatâs weird.
Pretty much everyone ever who was âhackedâ did dumb things. As has been explained over and over and over.
Also how is it possible to spend so much time on one subject for a decade+ and post something like this.

NFT God needs to change his avatar. He doesnât own it anymore.

My spidey sense is tingling on this one. As someone who has set up a Ledger/cold wallet, it is not believable that he âaccidentally turned his cold wallet hotâ. It is extremely explicit during setup to never ever ever super duper never ever type the seed phrase into anything or store it digitally. If he did, heâs a moron that explicitly tried to have his shit stolen, full stop.
Getting Authenticator-based 2fa âhackedâ (if true) most likely means that he fell for some kind of mfa fatigue attack where someone bombs your phone with dozens of push notifications until you give up and just tap accept to make it stop. Not super plausible in this description of events.
But, if that happened AND the guy had a google doc named âCRYPTO LOOT SEED PHRASEâ, then yah you lose. But installing some malware doesnât mean they can get your seed phrases that you set up years/months ago unless they are sitting somewhere or you typed them while the baddies are watching.
And if you are highly technical or whatever he called himself, this seems fishy and my first instinct is that he either did something super dumb/lazy/embarrassing (cryptolootseed.doc) or this is invented for some other purpose.
Just the two cents of a dummy.

LARPing for more followers and some sort of gofundme?
Very odd to lose what he considers his networth savings and suddenly 24 hours later âpainful but moving on whatever, my substack more valuable to me k thxâ
