    Ten days from now, 220 crypto investors will sit down to a lavish three-course dinner and enjoy “stunning views of the Potomac river” with US president Donald Trump at his 600-acre golf club in Washington DC.

    Before I was fully awake, still fog-headed and bleary-eyed after my alarm, I could already tell that something was wrong. It was 7:30 am on a frosty February morning, and my phone was already lit up with notifications.

My X account was hacked and used early yesterday morning to promote a fraudulent $WIRED memecoin. The posts have since been removed and I have regained access to the account. For clarity, WIRED does not operate any branded crypto coins.

I spoke to the father of a kid that made $30,000 in under ten mins on a cryptocoin he'd created. He didn't believe it at first. But when angry messages started to flood in, he realised his son was telling the truth—if not quite the full story. https://t.co/JSbSa9rfvz
