- Hackers tricked the people approving transactions by showing them a fake or misleading screen (a "masked UI")
- The screen looked like it was sending money to the right place, but instead, it changed the wallet’s rules (smart contract logic)
- End up the hackers took control of the wallet and stole all the ETH in it

Subculture evolution

1. The Lifecycle Model
- Scenes start with creators ("geeks") who invent something new and exciting
- Fanatics join to support but don't create
- If successful, casual fans ("mops") join in larger numbers
- Finally, manipulative opportunists ("sociopaths") arrive to exploit and monetize
- This typically leads to dilution and death of the original scene

2. The Central Tension
- Geeks want to share their creation but maintain its integrity
- More participants (mops) provide validation and resources
- But too many mops (>10:1 ratio to geeks) overwhelm and dilute the culture
- Sociopaths are both necessary (for mainstream success) and destructive

3. Proposed Solution
- "Be slightly evil" - geeks should learn some sociopath techniques
- Move away from "eternalistic" naive belief in the scene's inherent meaning
- Adopt a "fluid mode" that combines realism with creative passion
