It's official.
I'm the proud owner of a 1982 manual transmission DMC DeLorean with 5600 miles.
I will be converting it to an exact replica of the Back to the Future 2015 Fusion version from the BTTF II movie.
So excited.
This is going to be an awesome project.

Lots of accounts including Bezos, Elon Musk, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Mr Beast, and a ton more getting hacked for a bitcoin scheme.
Normally account take overs are due to insecure passwords or recovery options, this is definitely something different.

One lesson that I see to folks new and old in the industry struggle with is:
Remaining humble and recognizing that you are always learning and need to continue to learn from others.
