Gary Vee is a notorious ~~grifter~~ NFT salesman with a checkered past.

Webacy is a cryptocurrency wallet "technology layer" that "provides security features" like password backup, "digital wills", etc.

Mozilla, as always, late to the party.

Crypto and NFT scam were a thing long ago.

Crypto and NFT scam were a thing long ago.

So was this article :) Not that there ever was a party.

Luckily Firefox remained a fine browser throughout the crypto nonsense, so I'm hoping the same holds true when the next AI winter sets in.

Even back in 2023 this was all old stuff … NFT scam was a big thing in 2021 and the crypto hype was a thing around 2013-2018. It’s both still there, but no-one really cares anymore as far as I can tell.

so I’m hoping the same holds true when the next AI winter sets in.

They are already sinking millions into the AI hype :(
