[2023] Mozilla and Gary Vee fund cryptocurrency company Webacy - eviltoast

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.

      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.

        Mozilla purchased FakeSpot back in May 2023, and at the time, I sounded the alarm because of the dubious privacy policy they imported without changing.

        People told me to Wait and See. And I waited, and Mozilla never changed it.

        Unfortunately, if you Wait and See for too long, things apparently become Too Old Too Matter.

        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 :(
