Whenever something unexpected happens, the usual rumours and hot takes start flying. Let’s ground everything in clear facts instead of noise.
Yes, this was a serious incident. But the network demonstrated its resilience, stayed online, and the ecosystem responded with speed and professionalism.
And importantly, this wasn’t a random “vibe coder” accident: it was a deliberately crafted transaction by a technically knowledgeable individual.
Here are the myths vs facts everyone should know 🧵

"Everything is fake, man."
"The media's fake, the jobs are fake, the money's fake, politics is fake... Nothing is real anymore."
"We have traded authenticity for convenience. We have traded truth for comfort."
"The media is feeding you fear. The job is draining your soul. The money's being printed from nothing but controlling everything. The politics is dividing you into teams that both work for the same system."
🚨🇻🇳 Meanwhile in Vietnam
Millions of Vietnamese who oppose Digital Tyranny have millions of their Bank Accounts erased.
Wow that certainly escalated quickly - coming to a Great Britain near you.
People seem very confused about “digital ID”.
It is not the same thing as carrying ID cards that people have in the EU. It is a wholly different beast.
It means you have a number. An identifier. Your ability to do anything can be turned off by the government at any time.
Whether that is taking a flight, buying something on Amazon or sending a parcel.
Whether that is looking at the internet, opening a bank account or accessing the NHS.
In the EU, we are rapidly moving towards a digital ID. The EU is pushing companies like Amazon to require it to make purchases or Facebook to “verify” your account. Right now it is voluntary and works mainly across government agencies - healthcare, mail service, tax authorities. But in due course it won’t be voluntary.
It does absolutely nothing to stop illegal migrants from entering the country or working in the black economy.
