  1. So remember Lanistar? Yeah, the company that had a massive social media campaign fueled by influencers to promote its product? It's been over a year and nothing has materialized There's still no product (in the UK & Europe anyway)

      In the meantime, the company managed to rack up a number of bad press articles, like the time when they weren't able to pay their staff so the CEO promised salary payments in Bitcoin to make up for it (for some reason) fnlondon.com/articles/lanistar-uk-staff-plea-to-be-paid-people-are-genuinely-suffering-20210618

        What am I getting at here? I want people to be wary of things promoted by influencers because quite often influencers don't spend a lot of time checking what they promote They just see a paycheck Anyone remember what happened to CryptoEats? vice.com/en/article/3ab8qk/elaborate-cryptoeats-food-delivery-scam-steals-dollar500000-in-minutes

          Anyway, maybe I'm wrong Maybe Lanistar will finally launch something in 2022 But I'd still be careful because this company hasn't had the best history in its short time of existence
