Elon talk about freewallet app

[Cosette]

Elon with his savage tweets.
Maybe if you still use freewallet, you probably want to consider to move your funds to another wallet. This really hit hard for freewallet.
Well, they can probably improve it in the future.

[bL4nkcode]

Well, freewallet isn't a wallet after all.

Only newbies who was lured by their misleading marketing use their service.

[Jawhead999]

I don't think they will improve it in the future since they're known as a scam and has bad reputation wallet exchanges in the past Freewallet.org SCAM accusations - a compilation

All users must move their coin to their own non-custodial wallet, I would think freewallet will froze and stole all users coin since they has been caught by Elon Musk.

This discussion has been created before FreeWallet.org is a scam - Elon Musk account locked by Freewallet criminals

Yea, i see a lot scam accusation agains them in the past, but they still doing it until now, its been several months since i hiatus in forum and it still same.

Also, good thread you share there.

[ABCbits]

They deserve it, Freewallet isn't free or wallet, because they collect your personal data, have full control over your coin and freeze your account with vague/stupid reason.

[Festac]

I know freewallet team are on this forum, they need to see this because it's been discussed many times already, I lost some btc to freewallet and also some Doge because I was a noob at the time, I knew nothing about private keys

[Review Master]

It looks like, Elon is now on the way to teach everyone about the basic rules about crypto. Though everyone might know about those scam accusation of freewallet, but Elon helps other to understand the fundamental of crypto wallet and spread indirectly "Not your Keys, Not your Cryptos". So, it's always better to use non-custodial wallet instead of using custodial wallets.

[KaratX]

I knew about freewallet in 2016 and most of my claimed faucets was stored in the free wallet, I have Doge coin and bitcoin with free wallet but unfortunately later on I can't log into my account again, I was told to login with my password and it was correct, it seems free wallet cheat me, after contacting the team they never help me to fix the problem

[The Cryptovator]

At least I wasn't expected Elon Musk would use such as custodial wallets. Anyways there would be a reason behind it that we aren't aware of. Elon said an important thing, we shouldn't use any wallet that isn't giving our private keys. The problem isn't with Freewallet only, all custodial web wallets have the same issue. Just imagine, if they could hold or block Elon Musk's funds who is a well-known person in the whole world then it's quite easy to block our funds. Anyway eventually they solve the issue of Elon's, according to Freewallet they block funds due to security reasons. Honestly, I am not fully satisfied with that answer. I don't think Elon leaves his wallet unsafe at all. There are many ways to contact with real Elon Musk except lock account.

Never knew that part, that is unconstitutional if I am right, collecting big data to sell to corporations or data mine is an illegal thing to do. I am not surprised that they freeze accounts because I know for a fact that a lot of exchanges, wallets and gambling sites do it. The big data part is very difficult to understand because isn't it anonymous unless they have a comprehensive KYC in place.

The problem is with the search engines that show wallet first and the lack of alternatives to it, especially for beginners.
I think that many who want to invest will do the following:

 - Google "Dogecoin" or "Dogecoin wallet" or "Dogecoin best wallet"
 - Download Freewallet wallet because it is free and wallet.
 - Keep those coins out.

No problem will happen as depositing with that wallet is easy, but withdrawing from it will be very difficult (need KYC, Docs, ...etc.)
I also think that the intense promotion of jokes made by Elon Musk about that currency will cause many to lose their money.

[Questat]

Excuse me, what is freewallet?

Honestly, I have not use of a freewallet yet, is this it the one (https://freewallet.org/) you guys are referring.
For now, I use electrum and MEW for my ETH and tokens.

[Taskford]

For this compilation thread about how freewallet works well this one should not be trusted. So to anyone planning to use this maybe they should look at this compilations so that they will not fall and add to write a scam accusation about them.

Better work with  trusted wallet which recommended by many users.

It's true, see https://freewallet.org/privacy. Additionally they share user data with few third-party service.

Yes

Thanks for the reply @ETFbitcoin, I was interested on trying the wallet but when I saw a post from @Taskford, I change my mind, I'm more interested now on how did Freewallet get tagged, this is all completely new to me.

Yes, you've provided a response, what about resolutions?  You could just be honest and tell your customers that you'll require KYC upfront, before they register with your shitty app.

Why don't you provide your customers with all the information they need to make educated decisions before they deposit their funds?  Could it be so you can spring KYC requirements on them once their balance has reached a sufficient amount for you to scam them?  Are you hoping they'll refuse the KYC and abandon their account?  I'm also curious how many users accounts you've locked that have never been returned to the proper owners.  What do you do with all that crypto?

[Denv_eagle]

What? I've never had any problems with the Freewallet. If anything occurs, I just try updating the app or restart the phone.

That's because you're the sockpuppet shill account.  Duh!

Here's my favorite of you're hairbrained shilling:

I can’t remember my phone number and you want me to remember my private keys? No way. I’d better leave it to the devs. For 2 years of using Freewallet my funds were safe and sound without me having the keys.

Lol, that's your excuse?  You can't remember your phone number?  There's no reason to remember your private keys if you're literate.  A pen and a piece of paper will solve that issue.

LOL. This is the funniest yet dumbest reasoning I have ever encounter in this forum. How can someone use memorization of phone number an excuse for users to not keeping their private keys safe? Damn, Freewallet still got balls to reply in this thread despite of being a proven scam platform. @Freewallet, dude, we aren't born yesterday, and your dumb shilling alt accounts wouldn't change your reputation and the fact that you scammed a lot of people. Glad that Elon's popularity warned all existing users (which I hope is none) to leave your service and your platform. I guess freewallet motto was supposed to be "Freewallet Family of simple and ez money for us" afterall?? 

[shield132]

I should follow him on Twitter. Does anyone know what was the answer to Binance's comment? Somehow I couldn't find it from the link, will be glad if you screenshot it.

This is the way how search engines work and I wouldn't say that they work bad, no, and search engines aren't humans or super intelligent AIs to fully analyze everything and submit the really trustworthy things. They work according to some factors, for example: If high authority website links to freewallet, then google thinks: Oh, if cointelegraph includes their link in their main page (for example), then it will be good.

The problem is that Marketing actually works and good marketing can sell bad products. They know that their targets are newbies in crypto world and those newbies who are looking for all in one services.
