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.

    Why would firefox deal with a known scammer?

    I guess at the end of the day all of these entrepreneur are scammers.

    My guess is the Google deal is running out soon, and they’re desperately throwing shit against the wall, hoping something will stick.
    I still think you should be able to make a decently working browser with the money Mozilla’s CEO earns alone.

      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 :(
