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
