I've used Metamask, to evaluate something. How would you know something is shitty without getting your hands dirty?

ANYTHING is not Bitcoin is a shitcoin. No debate.
I don't have to test or evaluate. I will not spend any second with a shitcoin, better just concentrate on Bitcoin.

The following Tweet from that thread had this info:

Key takeaways
ALWAYS use a cold wallet to store your valuables
Never give out verification codes to ANYONE
Protect your information, don't give out your phone number or your personal email
Caller information is easy to spoof. Companies like Apple will never call you
