And, in a sad commentary on my age and place in life, my first thought was that I would pay off my credit cards.

Outlook email?

I know Shell is a bootstrappy little startup, but I was hoping for at least a gmail account.

Wow! This is so amazing and you are so lucky! 

I wonder what would be left after paying taxes to the queen and then to the orange tumor.

I guess I’m just hardwired to look for things like this. I’ve been getting a lot of phishing emails lately, and the sender’s email address is always from some ridiculous domain outside the US.

There’s also bots going around Twitter impersonating various people to scam the unwary out of cryptocurrencies.

What is Ethereum? Some sort of E cash? I remember a college professor way back in the mid-80s telling us about a guy who took out an ad in the paper that said, “Now is your last chance to send $5 to this address!” He made a bunch of money, and never got in trouble because he never promised anything for the money.

There’s a sucker born every minute.

Yeah, blockchain -based cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or Dogecoin . If you’ve had to pay an insane price for a graphics card in the last few years, you can thank bitcoin miners.
