GREED Token Was Just a Scam Spotting Experiment

A social experiment called GREED has taught crypto traders a lesson about internet security, morality and sensibility. The creator of the experiment, Ivor Ivosevic, wanted to show the dark side of crypto trading, and the result was a viral tweet that attracted thousands of followers and offers of seven-figure sums for a nonexistent token. Despite the hype, the token was designed to be bot-proof and free, and the airdrop included a warning to others.
