content: This one is surely a April fools joke that someone forgot to remove afterwards... right?Especially since Holland Shielding is a pretty reputable manufacturer of RF shields and boxes.

content: Most users loose their crypto, because they connect their wallet to some dubious website, and some JS code will ask for access. Then a transaction pops up, paraphrasing "allow scammer to take infinite ETH from your wallet" and they approve the transaction. The website usually tells them that they will get free tokens. No amount of tents are going to protect against that.And then they go online and tell everyone they got hacked.

content: So, they are reputable huh?After the crypto tent, now the Putin shields:"Due to thread of nuclear weapons your data need extra safety. These weapons can create a huge magnetic field which can destroy your data."Yeah. Certainly some company that I would get onboard with.

content: Actually, the tent does have a useful purpose: when you lose all your money by "investing" in crypto, it will provide you a place to live!

content: QuoteAnother buzzword I am beginning to hate as I am seeing this word used more and more to describe something as newly invented when it isn't and this tent is nothingnew.Image lookup leads to faraday/shielded tents shops.https://shieldedtents.com/emi-rfi-shielded-medium-pyramid-faraday-tentTouting a faraday/sheilded tent as a "Crypto currency protection tent".Sounds to me like beyond a joke.Quote* Prevent that people....Makes some sense but the combination words don't sound right to me... "Prevents people from reading or manipulating..."*spelling mistake imputStill does not say how it works.
