Impressive, this is the most blatant email collection campaign I've ever seen. I guess the owner would just sell the emails to someone else or try to phish/social engineer.

Fair instinct! Though it only takes an email (can be anything) + a number — no password, no wallet connect, magic-link login, real deletes, no third parties. Thin pickings for a phishing scheme.

I don't like talking with an LLM, but anyway, email is more than enough for phishing/social engineering nowadays, because it's often trivial to find out accounts in different services that use a specific email

Definitely either harvesting email adresses or it's not thought trough at all.

If you already have enough BTC that it's currently worth $1 million then it's pointless, also the your actual take home depends on how much you bought your BTC for, which this doesn't account for, so again pointless.
