On April 21, 2023, Adidas launched a new line of NFTs called "Into the Metaverse." The NFTs were sold on the Ethereum blockchain and were priced at 0.2 ETH each. Within minutes of the launch, the NFTs were sold out. However, it soon became clear that something was wrong. A single user had managed to purchase 165 times more NFTs than allowed. The user had found an exploit in the smart contract which allowed them to scoop up NFTs at a much lower price than everyone else. The smart contract used in the auction had a block of code that checked the wallet to see if they had purchased any tokens before. The exploiter realized that they could create a new wallet for each purchase, and the smart contract would not be able to detect it. As a result of the exploit, the user was able to purchase NFTs worth over $3 million for just $300. Adidas has since apologized for the exploit and has promised to refund the user's money. However, the incident has raised concerns about the security of NFTs and the need for better regulation in the NFT space. Here are some of the key takeaways from the Adidas NFT exploitation: NFTs are still a new technology and there are security risks associated with them. It is important to do your research before buying an NFT and to make sure that you are buying from a reputable source. If you are considering buying an NFT, it is important to understand the risks involved and to take steps to mitigate those risks.

This is funny! It's like "Now I got you" moment for the Bitcoiners. Silicon Valley bank filed for bankruptcy protection today.

Hey ,I'm recruiting good hackers. Good opportunity. Inbox me @aelpa Need only two ,good hackers.

"‌I'm so tired bros: I'm 22 and I have $160k to my name. I grew up pretty poor and did a gamble on crypto a few years ago. The only problem is that everything has skyrocketed in price. I'm spending $1500 a month on rent. I'm graduating with an English degree in August. I don't want to work. I wish I had ambition early on and had gone the comp sci route. I don't know what to do anymore. I live in the USA and I don't know if there is any place worth living here. Should I just move abroad and teach English? I guess I could learn coding on the side or something. I'm very depressed and have self esteem issues. I've been thinking about ending it all for a while now, but I guess I may as well give life a shot. I've only ever had retail experience and I thought about being a wagie for Starbucks or Costco, but then reality set in and I realized yet again that I would rather die than work at those places. My ultimate goal is to just work from home if I have to work. That's all I need. I wish I would've just dropped out of school and I've still debated it. Growing up poor really does fuck you up, boys. I've thought about getting a therapist and psychiatrist, but I don't wanna waste thousands of money on what could be used towards my future home. Does anyone have any advice? I mean I do acknowledge that $160k is a good chunk of change, and I guess plenty of other people have gotten worthless degrees too. I wanna get back into exercising and eating healthy because I feel like that'd be a mood booster. I kind of just wish I had never been born a lot because all life is, is a boring rat race. I want a nice home, but it just takes so much god damn money. And healthcare is absurdly expensive in the US. Should I just get my passport and leave? Are they really gonna take a 22 yr old with no meaningful skills?" From 4chan
