From time to time, some nasty things got hacked on the Internet... Earlier it was some govs databases (WikiLeaks), then apple cloud with some celebrities kinky videos, and it was a turn on Twitter this time... Some of the most popular Twitter accounts were hacked, and from their account has been sent a message of "Big Bitcoin Giveaway", which was actually a scam...
Now, every 5 years old kid already knows that the giveaways where you have to send some money (in any form) to a certain address to receive a double amount are a scam and fraud, but why are things like that still happening... That's more a quest for some psychology institutions... I have tried to break out how this event can be a good thing for Bitcoin, decentralized social media networks (like Hive or LBRY), and crypto in general...
There is a popular saying that even negative marketing is good marketing, and we can use that in this particular event... Actually, if we look closer, this isn't a negative advertisement for Bitcoin, as Twitter is the platform that has been hacked... In this scenario, Bitcoin has worked flawlessly, as always... :)
But, on the other side, Twitter has been hacked, and it looks that those accounts weren't separately hacked, but more likely all-in-one, which means that nobody has stolen personal passwords (and they can't blame Barack Obama or Elon Musk for the non-secure keeping of data)... It looks that it was or "inside job", or someone hacked "MAIN" account and created posts "in the name" of those accounts... In either way, this mess showed the truth about "secure data" on the centralized platforms...
