One of the best things my brother said to me this year was that people usually have a real reason for everything they do. That thought genuinely changed how I see people, and myself.
The human brain is powerful, but it was built for survival, not success. It chooses comfort over stress by default. Even though we all have the ability to think long term, plan, and push through discomfort, most of the time we do not use that part of the brain properly.
We see successful people and we know what they did to get there. The problem is not understanding the steps or read their books. The problem is being willing to go through the same discomfort every day without stopping. Our brains are not used to that level of consistency, so they push back.
Take something simple. If you spent three hours a day learning a skill instead of watching films or scrolling, this time next year you would be good enough to make money from it. That is not a theory. It is basic repetition.
We all have access to information now. AI, books, videos, courses. Information is not the issue. The issue is that learning and applying it feels uncomfortable, boring, and slow. So we avoid it and tell ourselves stories instead.
Since that realisation, I stopped waiting until I feel like doing things. When my brain hesitates or tries to delay, I act immediately. I do not argue with it anymore. I just do the work.
Shouldโve know it was fishy when @coinbase support was actually trying to contact you rather than send you through endless online chat help desks without ever actually finding a resolution to your problem (speaking from experience)๐
Holy shit.
I just got attacked with one of the most complex scams in #crypto that I have seen to date.
Please read if you use @coinbase.
This just happened 15 minutes ago.
THIS IS A WARNING FOR ALL COINBASE USERS!
There has been some sort of a data breach.
First, I received a text message saying that my @coinbase 2FA was changed.
I then received three calls from a @coinbase "customer support" that was from a San Fransisco number asking if I was traveling outside of the US and if I requested an email change and a 2FA change. (NOTE: I tried to record this, but couldn't find my wife's phone before they hung up)
I said no to traveling and they said that they cancelled the 2FA and email change request and sent a text to verify it was cancelled.
They then sent me to the 'security' team to verify my account to avoid a 48 hour suspension.
They had my name, my email and my location and sent a 'verification code' email from [email protected] to my personal email.
I told them that I didn't need their assistance and I changed the password already and he told me that it wouldn't work to verify the account and that they would be locking it down for 7 days due to a lack of verification unless I provided the code.
He then got angry and hung up the phone on me after I told him that I wouldn't provide the code.
After the first text, I immediately logged into my #coinbase and changed the password and 2FA and caught on that it was a scam almost immediately, but I doubt that 98-99% of people that get this would realize it and would have unlocked their #coinbase accounts.
For those unaware, the code they sent was my actual 2FA, but they sent it from their own email and were logging into my account to drain it while we were on the phone.
Attached are the texts, phone calls and email from the scammers.
Like and retweet to spread awareness please. Thanks.
If you bought crypto in 2021 at the TOP you were congratulated.
But if you buy crypto now after 400 days of downside and -80-95% from ATH, you are criticized.
