🛡️ Key tips from Uncle Funk:
NEVER click on links without verifying from multiple sources.
Enable 2FA (or 3FA if you can).
Regularly change your passwords and check device activity.
Avoid downloading unknown files or apps without scanning.
If you're ever unsure — ask the community first.
Uncle Funk isn't crawling into a hole. He’s flipping this pain into power.
He's been advised to sell his community tickets, repump the funds into $FUNK, and give back to the people who believed in him. That’s right — he's using the stolen moment to create momentum.
This is his gift and his apology to the Funklets who ride with him.
🚨 As of now, he’s:
Contacting TheArenaApp for account recovery.
Setting up a new wallet.
Resetting 2FA and formatting his PC.
Warning followers: DO NOT click links from the compromised OpSafePlace account on X.
The $FUNK movement is a community-first rebellion against hype, greed and shady behaviour in the crypto space. Uncle Funk’s story reminds us: the goblins are out there — but they can’t break what we’re building.
We rise stronger. We rise together.
