DON'T TRUST, VERIFY!

CRYPTOS LEHMAN BROTHERS MOMENT

“ The smartest guys in the room. Not just financial errors but — certainly from the reports — whiffs of fraud. Stadium namings very early in a company's history. "Vast explosion of wealth that nobody quite understands where it comes from."

FTX SCAM, Terra Luna Scam, Bitconnect, One Coin and so many more have two things in common: They are due to human error and have absolutely nothing to do with Bitcoin. While bitcoin, as a decentralized system, gives its users power over their own monetary values, where verification rather than trust prevails, we on the other hand have to believe exchanges or even companies in the cryptospace that things are as they claim to be.

With our new artwork we pick up on the latest fraud surrounding SAM BANKMAN-FRIED, which revolves around the FTX debacle, to draw attention to the importance of VERIFYING rather than trusting & to SELF-CUSTODY to not be effected by frauds anymore!
