Referring to Scambrain explosion allegation in the HBO movie,
I tried to search for what you are talking about but nothing is coming up in the searches. Maybe you should link next time or share more of what this is about so we can discuss more about your perspective.
I find shitcoins useful in a sense that you can sybil shitcoin networks and get an airdrop, and then swap the shitcoins for BTC.
That is if you get any or a significant amount enough to convert it into bitcoin. Some wallets may also have a minimum amount of coins you can convert and if you did not get that much airdrops it may be difficult to put it into bitcoin.
