IMO, if this is true, it should be the end of cryptocurrency because it strikes at what is supposed to be its strength.

The developers of bitcoin are smart, but the criminals are smarter. Betting they used the anonymity to their advantage.

41mm bucks is a lot of money. I guess. For a person it certainly is.

If it’s news, then whatever it is news for, is sad. I’m sorry for the loss of the equivalent of a small family office or a rich dude.

Not sure why this is news is my convoluted point.

Bitcoin itself is very secure. The idiots running these exchanges are the ones to blame.

Saying this is a death-knell for Crypto is akin to saying robbing banks is a death-knell for the dollar.

It appears there are folks around here that do not understand how this stuff works.

It can be traced back to one of the hackers/perpetrators plugging in a bed-side lamp using an incandescent bulb over 75 watts.

Can’t be true. It’s quite secure.

I’ve read that right here.

Fortunately, greed is not a problem with humans.

Typically inside jobs, they use the honor-system and not everyone is very ‘honorable’.

Yesterday we made believe we had $41 million dollars worth of nothing.

Today we don’t.
