Not only job-hunting is getting harder and harder, we also have to deal with the occasional cryptoscam or work-now-get-equity-later scheme!

Here's what I answered to a respectable businessman who offered me a lead role in exchange for a coin that cannot be traded.

Russia is sick: Russia burning off $10m worth of gas every day - BBC News
