If your first question about bitcoin is it's price prediction then it's probably not a great asset to buy at this time. If you're convinced by the 'Why' of BTC then it's a great asset to buy.

Really unfair statement. Users of ColdCard tried to do the right thing to keep their BTC safe. Coinkite the company absolutely failed them.

Mentions:#BTC

Not a single person can answer this question with any real degree of certainty. There are very little market trends to look at unlike traditional investments. There's no quarterly financial reports from a publicly traded company. BTC isn't used for anything like gold is. Whatever you would hear here, good or bad, is merely a guess. Probably an uninformed one. If you're a bit of a risk taker, BTC isn't a bad thing to speculate on. If you traditionally go into low or moderate risk index funds, BTC probably is not for you.

Mentions:#BTC

Yes, very easy to navigate for anyone that’s ever used any crypto exchange to send/receive BTC. I wouldn’t buy there though, the price slippage + 1% transaction fees on the one buy that I made with them was too much. I’ve been a River user for a while. I’d continue to buy there and send to the Fidelity wallet.

Mentions:#BTC

So why are they selling then? Saylor is on record saying that the plan is to buy and hold the BTC, never sell, or you erode trust

If you want lowest fees and privacy, BTC is the worst option here. TRX network fees are basically nothing for USDT transfers, like a few cents. For the no-KYC part, just use any swap service that doesn't require an account to turn your euros into USDT TRC20.

Anonymizers, mixers,... You can track it now, sure. What if the attacker sends it to a big common wallet (mixer) which has all sorts of incoming legitimate transactions. You just lost your trace, now you see one big wallet with a 1000 BTC and you can only blindly guess which outgoing transaction is the attacker's one (can be tomorrow or months later).

One upshot of this debacle will be more people buying ETFs rather than holding their own BTC. The custody of BTC will likely be the next area of regulation. Expect the banks to play nasty.

If you're already looking that far ahead, short-term volatility probably doesn't matter much anymore. It's also nice that there are now ways to make use of native BTC while still keeping it in self-custody.

Mentions:#BTC

River is great. They show their "proof of reserves" every month verifying the BTC they claim to hold is actually there. They're constantly innovating/improving the platform. The fact that they're BTC only is another reason that makes them a great choice as an exchange.

If your personal investment portfolio includes just one asset, you expose yourself to concentration risk. Diversification is the standard way to mitigate concentration risk. If you sell all your BTC to buy AAPL, you haven't addressed that risk.

The first moment I heard about the hacking I thought that price of BTC will drop to 5000$. So just a theory for experts to examine: Big banks and conglomerates fund secretly a tech company to develop a faulty hardware wallet. Then steal Bitcoin from users and have many successes at once: 1) defame all the self custody idea. 2) make users paranoid for cold wallets. 3) earn a lot Bitcoin with a few millions of investment. 4) panicked users run to buy ETFs and other hybrid products with fiat money. 5) having a good big supply of BTC in case make something like gold standard with BTC in the future. 6) promote the idea of semi-custody. Half private key for the user and half for the bank. 7) obtain knowledge to break other companies' cold wallets not only tech knowledge but also operational knowledge to infiltrate in tech companies and do damage. So people who affected and all the crypto world should carefully examine: > How exactly company funded? > Relationships of everyone with big banks, former employments? even family relations. > How law enforcement handles the situation? Who goes to prison. > Future careers and wealth of everyone implicated and their families. Etc etc

Mentions:#BTC

OP is referring to vulnerable ColdCard BTC that remains to be stolen. A benevolent group could race the attackers to brute-force remaining wallets, empty them, and somehow return the coins to the rightful owners afterwards (as OP's theory goes).

I generated my seed on my laptop. Not airgapped. Totally insecure. I always was planning to move to coldcard, but didn't come around it. Seems my procrastination helped me here. Last year i decided to leave BTC completely instead. I don't hold anymore It is devastating to see so many people with lost BTC, collected with DCA or whatever. I count myself lucky. If i would reenter the game, this episode would definitely adjust my strategy. I would probably choose an airgapped computer with USB boot or something. And a stupid game to create entropy. Or role dice. I would probably refrain from hardware.

Mentions:#BTC

I agree that SOL probably has more upside than BTC and ETH. However, its volatility and unpredictability are also much higher. Network stability, ecosystem competition, and overall market sentiment can all have a significant impact on its price. For me, investing isn't just about chasing the highest returns—it's about finding the right balance between risk and reward. That's why my current focus is on short-term futures trading. I prefer to manage risk through strategy rather than relying solely on the long-term potential of a single coin

Crypto has been pretty doom and gloom for the last few months from what I've been reading here off and on. People legitimately think the last bull run was the last big one, and that altcoins and BTC will never see the mountains of returns we've seen previously.  That, to me, is very bullish. My speculation is that it's a great time to buy, but I also could see why people believe people altcoins (not necessarily bitcoin) are dead. Especially since crypto in general is very much based on speculative value and almost zero use case. Obviously outliers exist, but that's my take in general.

This is so cool, very cypherpunk, I love it. I don’t own a N64 but I saw a similar project for GBA and BTC so I might as well try that one. One thing worth nothing is, the novelty here is the device used to generate which was built on the pre iot era, giving it the same level of isolation than the ones of devices that were designed today **with that objective in mind.** Same security vulnerabilities could be found here as the CC wallet because that depends on the RNG algorithm they decide to use, I assume controller input, sensors which should be validated are still working properly before using them as entropy source, PRNG etc. The key here is scrutiny, which is something CCW didn’t had until bad actors took a look. But this is the monero community after all, so this is in good hands. Thanks for sharing!

Mentions:#BTC#CC

Care to name some.. Because taking the loan then moving the BTC seems like the simplest rug in history

They both have some of the lowest multipliers in terms of return. Neither of those coins are getting more than a 3x and that is absolute best case scenario. Hell even SOL can hit a 4.5x on it's best day. A far better ROI than BTC or ETH.

>nothing about the seed generation is changing anything about the capabilities of the device to hold my keys "Sure, one of the two primary functions of this device was shown to be incompetently implemented to a staggering degree, such that almost a hundred million dollars worth of BTC were stolen off devices whose sole purpose was to secure that BTC. But trust me bro, there's *no way* there could be any undiscovered vulnerabilities in the other primary function of this device. That would be just crazy. They pinkie-promised it was just that one." >pls explain exactly why and where there is potential danger This is why I asked if you get scammed a lot. If it has to be explained to you why using a coldcard is dangerous at this point, then you are not good enough at risk assessment for it to be worth the time.

Mentions:#BTC

I had a cold card so I sent my BTC to one of the big exchanges and made it as secure as possible using 2FA with an authenticator and a long password etc I think it depends how much you have dude. If it’s a small amount leave it where it is, if not, do what I did My dilemma now is worth to cash out or hold. I think we’re at the point where self custody is becoming too dangerous to be worth it anymore with the Advent of AI et cetera.

This is the final straw for me. QQQ +7.25% over 5 days, BTC -0.94% over the same period. Crypto is officially dead. It has been fucking garbage in the most incredible bull market in history. There's no runway left. Any sign of the beginning of a bear market will send Bitcoin below $10K.

I think BTC could go up, or down.

Mentions:#BTC

I doubt there would be accidental collisions from legit cold card users. I can't say for sure without knowing the full details but given that the timestamp and deviceId were part of the faulty entropy, on first glance it seems that duplicate seeds would not be generated under normal use. I was wondering if someone (or multiple people) figured out the exploit some time ago but chose to only take from a small number of wallets to not raise alarm bells. If a hacker takes from one wallet, most people would probably thing they exposed their keys somehow and it wouldn't be high priority for the authorities. With the current situation, the hacker is going to have a hard time cashing out that BTC and could be caught if they make any mistakes.

Welcome to Bitcoin. My advice as a beginner: don’t rush to buy 1 BTC all at once just because you feel you’re late. Nobody knows the perfect entry point. Start with an amount you can afford to hold for years, learn about Bitcoin, and consider buying gradually (DCA) instead of trying to time the market. Also, don’t put money into BTC that you might need soon. It can drop 50%+ and you need to be comfortable with that. The best investment is the one you can hold through the bad times.

The best way to cash out on the heist would be send it to a series of real users who then proceed to “wash” the BTC.  For example, a private VPN service provider that offers VPN service to the hacker in exchange for BTC (these exist).  The provider then proceeds to cash out the BTC.  If questioned by the authorities, the VPN provider can simply state they were offering an anonymous service to an anonymous user and not breaking any laws for doing so. Once the authorities stop looking, they proceed to funnel the cash back to the hacker in exchange for a very decent commission.

First, there is no such thing as tainted bitcoin. That’s just a label created by the government to promote a negative outlook on Bitcoin or “criminal money”. As if the dollars in circulation aren’t used illicit activities by criminals worldwide wide. To answer your question, nothing. They can’t make the wallets that received the funds do anything. The same way as if you send BTC to the wrong address, you lost and the got free money. On contrary good hearted people would send it back to the original ones who had it stolen. This is a decentralized network, there are no rules, no laws, or no protection .

Nunchuck supports the liquid network It’s a second layer similar to lightning network Liquid is private and it also supports swapping back-and-forth between BTC and USDT How it’s private is it still reports that a transaction happened but it doesn’t say the coin type or the quantity. There’s a wallet called aqua wallet that supports spending liquid network bitcoin at lightning network bitcoin addresses. Doing a transaction like that is two different layers of privacy. When you send a lightning network payment, they can’t look on a block, explorer and see how much you have or where it came from. Same with liquid.

I know this was the first time I heard the word "entrophy" (at least in the context of BTC) and I've been in it for almost a year. It's reasonable that these people thought the product was as good as advertised. I sincerely hope something like this never happens to you. The pain these people are feeling now isn't pretty. People have already offed themselves, divorces initiated etc. Please don't make it worse. They weren't grossly negligent in this. Or even a little. The fault lies with Cold Card.

When you sell, you have to write down a cost basis for taxes. If it never left Coinbase, they can fill it out for you and report to IRS. Otherwise, you have to report it.

Could be a test from God. Who trashes their vows, when the $ is lost? I do in part blame certain youtube "influencers" who preached this, "ALL BTC and ONLY BTC and everything MUST be in self-custody" mantra. If you questioned that you always got shouted down with the, "Not your keys, not your coins" argument. If you believe in BTC (as I do), it's very hard to avoid confirmation bias. Humans want to believe they're smart, seeking out BTC channels telling them BTC is the only way. There are more than a few BTW. I know it's hard but remember this: Money isn't wealth, Health is wealth. That and your relationship with God. Perhaps both of you can use this as an opportunity to draw closer to God and focus on your long term health?

I wouldn't mind if my parents bought a few BTC for me. Take that $20 they would have used on a birthday present and saved it in the form of 10 BTC. It would suck if it was lost to a hacker, but BTC has been a good way to save money into the future for all of its history so far.

He was after BTC not fiat.

I don't know much about BTC, but assuming he tried to sell or withdraw from this wallet could that be tracked to identify him?

Can’t they just monitor the thefts wallets and see how much BTC is flowing in?

2 days ago he was posting this: > *"I had 3.533382 BTC that i moved into my Coldcard because everyone always says hardware wallets are the safest. I thought i was doing everything right and taking security serious."* https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1vcwbsk/lost_it_all/ Not sure what he's trying to achieve with all these fake posts though.

Could explain why now amounts are drained below the original threshold of .15 BTC

How about the guy saying he cleans or washes BTC and takes 10%. Don't remember the phrasing. Surely he just disappears with it all.
