The Crypto Summit is about to start, and scammers are already all over YouTube with fake live videos. Some are just old interviews, others are random junk, but they’re made to look like the real thing to fool people.
Big names like Brad Garlinghouse from Ripple, Michael Saylor from MicroStrategy, David Bailey from Bitcoin Magazine, and Brian Armstrong from Coinbase are going to be there, so everyone’s excited. But crooks are using that to trick folks with fake streams, throwing in misleading pictures and chat messages to get clicks.
Don’t get caught! Check where the video’s coming from before you watch. Stick to real sources like CNBC, Bloomberg, the White House’s official page, or the summit’s website. And don’t believe some random person online saying they’ve got a special link—it’s probably a scam. Here is one example of a fake YouTube Live.
These fakes aren’t just annoying—they might try to sell you shady deals, steal your info, or sneak viruses onto your device. Be careful, look at the web address, use the legit channels, and tell someone if you spot a weird one.
With cool people like Sergey Nazarov from Chainlink and Vlad Tenev from Robinhood showing up, you’ll want to watch the real thing to hear what’s happening. Stay safe out there.
