A Bitcoin investor was recently scammed out of 9 Bitcoin (worth around $490K) in a fake “Exodus wallet” desktop application for Linux, published in the Canonical Snap Store. This isn’t the first time; if nothing changes, it likely won’t be the last.

    Bitcoin is just a scam in general.

    “Bro, I’ll sell you this really complicated number. No one else has it.”

    “What can I do with it?”

    “Sell it for more money to a bigger fool than you.”

      “Bro, I’ll trade your food for this fancy piece of paper”

      “What can I do with it”

      That’s how all currencies work.

      “Bro, I’ll sell you this piece of paper with a number in it” etc.
