just giving you free crypto

If being alive for 40-some years has taught my anything, it’s that companies “Just giving you free anything” should raise red flags.

Even if it is benevolently intended, I’d be suspicious and very cautious about using their products.

Point still stands.

Everyone has to figure out what they will/will not tolerate for themselves in the internet ecosystem.

I’m mostly just advocating caution.
