I hate to say it buy I already am paranoid. Do I want to be, no. I've just run into far to many scams here on off Hive that you have to have at minimum some caution. It's sad the world works this way and always has, but a good dose of skepticism when something sounds to good to be true or someone desperately needs help and as you said has a gorgeous profile picture. Classic scams...
Worst part is that there's not that much here compared to the rest of crypto, probably due to the marketcap. Twitter for instance has scams literally in most of their ads.
A big part of the reason I stopped using Twitter...
Paranoia isn’t fun, but it’s kind of a survival instinct at this point. Maybe set it to 5% or so ;-)
You shouldn't assume the worst every time, but “too good to be true” usually is.
