NYT had a great episode on HULU on a teen who stole bitcoin from a crypto investor in the northwest by sim swapping his accounts. Got to keep some of the bitcoin of that one bc he was a minor when he was caught. Then hacked twitter to solicit/phish for more bitcoin. Greed gets criminals every time!
The teenage "mastermind" behind last month's Twitter hack reportedly stole hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Bitcoin last year.
Not as 100% impenetrable as it seems. Coinbases have been hacked as well in the past year. Yes hackers can do the same with our bank accounts, but at least those are FDIC insured.
That being said, yes, if you invested in bitcoin early, congrats on your investments paying off. But on some reddits/etc there are people saying BTC is guaranteed to increase in value in the next 10 yrs- thats what makes it feel like a bubble/tech stocks/housing market. Granted that's a select group who post there but still...At least here it seems everyone is using play money, so whatever.

Panscan -some are saying it's a distraction from a bad Tesla balance sheet and exploding batteries in China. Also, a potential way to extract money from the operations in China.
I don't really know. I guess if Apple gets in the game, I'll feel less squirrely about Elon's participation.Comment

"This insurance policy does not cover any losses resulting from the compromise of your individual Coinbase account."- which is what happened with the sim swap case.

I'm literally the only person on this entire forum who talks about it, as far as I've seen. The only reason I mention it in this thread is because there's no Ethereum thread, due to lack of knowledge and/or interest. It's a shame.👍 1Comment

DeFi, my friend. look into it. I would start with the large cap projects, like AAVE SNX REN UNI LINK COMP etc. Those will be the most "stable" (whatever that means in crypto world). But if you want 25x, 50x, 100x, you would need to dive into the small cap projects, 100-200M market caps. I don't give individual names, but I've had a few that have gone 10x in one month, 7x in one day, and many many projects that have 2x, 3x, 4x. It makes sense though: when you invest in a very speculative field (crypto), and then even a more speculative slice (low to mid market cap projects on Ethereum blockchain), you should be handsomely rewarded. You need to put in the time to learn about it, before you invest. Or you could just buy some of the large coins I mentioned above to get a taste. There's also an index coin, DPI, which holds the top 10 I believe.
