Bitcoin Scam: using Chamath Palihapitiya

This just happened a few minutes ago. Youtube algorithm recommended a 'live' video of Chamath Palihapitiya. Being a fan, I clicked on the video link and on the video it said "send 1 bitcoin, get 2 bitcoins back" with a link in the descriptions. (https://chamath2021.net).

The description from the website reads:

*Chamath Palihapitiya believes that blockchain and Bitcoin will make the world more fair. To speed up the process of cryptocurrency mass adoption, We decided to run 5 000 BTC giveaway.

To participate you just need to send from 0.1 BTC to 20 BTC to the contribution address and we will immediately send you back 0.2 BTC to 40 BTC (x2 back) to the address you sent it from.\*

I normally wouldn't have believed it, but I thought it was Chamath performing a live give-away... After a second thought, I bought and sent $2,000 worth of bitcoin (0.05231213 BTC) to the address.

What a way to start off the new year :(((

Here is the youtube link:
