Who will not love getting free Bitcoin BTC? People that are interested in making money and don't care about its scalability, high fees, or crowded network would scream with delight if they are given free BTC, even if it is only a small amount. Its price is still relatively high compared to recent years, despite a significant price correction at the moment.
As of the time this post was written, the price of one bitcoin is now about $20,762.43, and if I have 0.0435 bitcoins in my wallet, it works out to be about $903.16 and N695,4330.2 in Nigerian naira, which trades at 770 naira to the dollar.
A person of a fourth-world country would have a life-changing opportunity given that the sum is already enormous in our country; I just need N231,761.25 to sum it up to N1 Millon.
I'll just sell it all because the state of the market makes it impossible to predict whether it will rise or fall.
Therefore, these are the things I'll do if I ever have that much money.
Just N5,433 is all that is left, which I would like to share with my neighbors, but, since the money isn't much I'll just have to use the best option available. With the remaining money, I will buy flour and other baking ingredients, then I will make chin-chin and share some to the neighborhood kids.
If I had that 0.0435 Bitcoin in my wallet, those would be the things I would prioritize. Unfortunately, all of this is just wishful thinking after I received a phishing email claiming that I had been rewarded the 0.0435 Bitcoin and should claim it.
I received this email on Wednesday night. When I checked my inbox, I discovered the email and the link, both of which are highly suspicious as phishing links.
To prevent accidentally opening the link, I immediately deleted the email after taking a screenshot of it.
Scammers are going insane trying to find new ways to steal other people's money, and using bitcoin as a bait is very alluring and tempting. Given that things are incredibly hard and receiving a reward of that size seems appealing, anyone who is curious about it or a newbie would have fallen for the trap. I didn't click the link, so I don't know the context, but I think it's a phishing link that targets users of crypto wallets. They might be prompted to send fee (funds) in order to receive the reward or to login with their private key or any other banking details. And at the end the scammer have access to the prey crypto wallet or banking details.
Considering hackers and con artists would stop at nothing to steal from people's hard-earned money, I advise everyone to exercise extreme caution and be safe so they don't fall for their tricks.
I truly apologize for that; I made the post's title that way so that readers might click and view it. I hope you've enjoyed reading it and have picked up a few new things.
