Some advice to avoid getting social hacked: Ideally, don’t take inbound meetings without a trusted referral. If you do take an inbound meeting: 1. Require them use *your* meeting provider of choice (eg Google or Zoom) 2. Ask them to turn their video on. 3. Do not download *anything* from them under any circumstance. Two people have tried to scam us in the last few weeks. Very elaborate, but sticking to these rules rebuffed them pretty easily. I expect this stuff to increase with our token value. Crypto not awesome in this way. But it’s hard for people to do much to you if you control the terms of the environment. Be a little paranoid.

I recommend that everyone takes a class with "Boring Security" - it's free and there are different levels. Usually "too good to be true" is also a good sign. I was very paranoid when the head of Gnosis Pay helped me with onboarding, because my process got stuck. I asked around and was sceptical until the end. Turned out to be true though. The head of Gnosis Pay led me through the onboarding while at home with his newborn child, because he was interested to see how the new process works. Crypto can be awesome like that, too.

Some day I will be telling those stories about you! "And then the founder of Bracket settled a bet for me that didn't go through and wouldn't take the Bracky back, even though it was for too much!" "There was one person on Farcaster that tipped me every week and that was the founder of Bracket!" etc ...
