Scams and frauds areubiquitous in crypto, but sometimes the biggest losses are those people inflict upon themselves.

“I deserve all of the jokes and criticism.”

Instead of an ugly string of characters, my wallet could be CNET.eth.

(Porno.ethsold for $200,000.)

Well this is the most surprising 1.891 ETH I have ever made.

This will be the joke and bag fumble of the century.

I deserve all of the jokes and criticism.

stop-doing-fake-bids-its-honestly-lame-my-guy.eth is now in the top 5 ENS sales of all time.

He hoped that offer would trigger the ENS bot.

Franklin ended up minting “stop-doing-fake-bids-its-honestly-lame-my-guy.eth.”

The ploy worked; a few ENS sales bots tweeted out the fake bid.

After that, though, someone offered Franklin 1.891 ether ($2,890) for the ENS address.

Franklin accepted the offer, calling it “the most surprising 1.891 ETH I have ever made.”

“I didn’t get ‘botted.’

I had plenty of time to cancel my offer, I just ran to Twitter, instead.”
