 Turns out it's the SatoshiVM scam. Fuckers are running a scam on testnet! 🤡

 Hmmm.

Maybe they had some sort of way to get normies wallets connected to testnet? Or were they using a web-wallet and then linking to mempool-testnet to "prove" the funds were sent?

 Wait ‘til Liz Warren hears about this shit! There will be hell to pay!

Some has GOT to stop this before millions lose out on their testnet retirement funds.

 they promised rewards for using testnet, it's not about convincing the user that the assets in Testnet have real value.

 OK, yet they're bragging about having tens of millions of dollars in activity when testnet coins have 0 value.

 Yes I do

But, to be clear, I have nothing to do with this scam or the scammers doing it

They coopted the bitvm name because it generates buzz among altcoiners
