A few even ended positively, showing acts of generosity within the crypto community.
The Ethereum blockchain, which records transactions worth trillions of dollars, also holds an infinite array of irremovable messages. These range from desperate appeals for hackers to return stolen money to heartbroken lovers pleading for reconciliation. According to a pseudonymous industry analyst, known as Croissant ETH, the Ethereum's blockchain has it all: love notes, crimes, manipulative exploits, and more. He claims to have combed through over 1.5 million messages on the Ethereum blockchain, according to his post dated May 27th.
A notable message was from an individual reaching out to a presumed paramour who had blocked them on various social platforms. The individual describes their moment without contact as an perpetual wait, pleading for another chance from their ex-lover.
In another message, a stressed widow pleas to a fraudster to return the $500,000 of Wrapped Ether (wETH) she had mistakenly sent to a drain address. The sum she had received from her late husband. With distress, she pleads for the cyber thief to return the funds, insisting they are good deep down.
Similarly, a scam victim is seen lamenting over his inability to face his wife after losing their funds. He begs the scam perpetrator to end his despair by giving back what was stolen, otherwise claiming his life is in ruins.
Some opted to use the Ethereum blockchain to share personal tales of adversity, even as horrifying as kidnapping, torture, and brainwashing.
Yet, other messages on the Ethereum blockchain ended on a cheerful note. A generous cryptocurrency whale gifted a sick child's struggling parent with 0.5 Ether, equivalent to $965 at the time. Others used this platform to pay respects to a lost loved one or even to educate a girlfriend about how cryptos transactions work.
