This is a test video for my latest AI generated series that combines Steampunk and Crypto into one crazy story. Each episode is filled with amazing AI generated Steampunk images with a little bit of Crypto thrown in. I used all free and open source programs to make this video. I used Fooocus for the images and wan GP to turn the pictures into video. The entire video was edited using Pinnacle Studio. This is part 1 of the continuing story, there will be several more parts to come until this first episode is complete so stay tuned, and thank you all for your amazing support!

I assume that the 'Crypto' part refers to cryptocurrencies rather than cryptography (traditionally popular with steampunk folk) or cryptic puzzles (ditto). It sounds like a brilliant idea and could become as popular and rich as murder mysteries have been. The reader knows that the main character will be scammed, but how? They need to follow the clues to work it out before the final big reveal.

There are so many ways that crypto can bankrupt and ruin people that you have an almost endless list of plot possibilities:

    Ponzi Schemes
    Pump and dump schemes
    Investment scam
    Romance Scams
    Blackmail and extortion scams
    Social engineering scams
    Phishing scams
    Fake apps and cryptocurrency exchange websites
    Giveaway scams
    Upgrade scams
    SIM-Swap scam
    Cloud mining scams
    Fraudulent initial coin offerings (ICOs)
    Celebrity endorsements
    Rug pulls
    Business, government, and job impersonators
    and so on...

The added extra would be that the readers/viewers would learn to spot the scams and thus be able to protect themselves. An intriguing possibility for the 21st century.
