The videos all follow the very same fundamental script. They open with a star stating they personally produced a bot utilizing ChatGPT that permits anybody to generate income with no genuine coding understanding. Early in the videos, the stars alert that the crypto neighborhood has great deals of fraudsters, so it's crucial that the audience not engage with “unknown wallets” and “unidentified exchanges.”
After getting the paradoxical caution about fraudsters out of the method, the script then dives into where you can copy code that can be pasted into a site that will apparently perform a so-called front work on crypto deals.
