I got lured in, despite being in this space since like 2014 and being very knowledgeable about nfts and stuff. I just never came across this scam before.

I am also around cryptocurrency since 2014, and maybe I was lucky, but no one scammed me so far. As I know, no one even tried it so far.

I created my first Bitcoin wallet on 2014.02.26, and I started collecting cryptocurrencies with faucets (for example FreeBitcoin, QoinPro). I created my first Dogecoin wallet on 2015.05.01. I started mining with MinerGate somewhere in 2016. I registered on the Steem/Hive blockchain on 2017.05.17.

By the way, I found Steemit by searching for something GPU or mining related, and I clicked on an article, which was on Steemit. At first I did not even noticed Steemit, just/only the article. I do not know which article was it, and who was the author of it, but I registered on the Steem/Hive blockchain on the same day.

Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.
