Some of the wallets used in these attacks remain under constant surveillance and have stayed dormant for years. One of the most notable is the Bitcoin address, widely believed to hold funds stolen during the 2011 Mt. Gox hack. The address remains active on the blockchain but has never spent its holdings, still containing around 80,000 BTC. Its continued inactivity has made it one of the most closely monitored wallets in Bitcoin's history. The wallet adress 1FeexV6bAHb8ybZjqQMjJrcCrHGW9sb6uF
Sorry but nobody with 6 BTC is this dumb. I'm calling BS.
My bitcoin is with fidelity and won’t ever be hacked or lost! I’m not a doomsday prepper. I believe in the asset not surviving and apocalyptic event and needing BTC. Time to grow up!
I would compare it more to a storage facility (considering BTC is an asset) than a rather unique 70s Ford case. All the storage facility has to do is lock the front door and MAYBE have a fence to meet any expectation to security, even though storage units still get broken into, the facility doesnt get sued because they "could have done more for security." Theres a point where the user has to take accountability, which is the whole spirit of what BTC is. The Coinkite hack in question met a pretty reasonable expectation until a vulnerability was found. Plenty of fortune 100 companies have been in very similar situations being hacked and compromising millions of sensitive files still operating today. They also gave options prior to the attack to further add protections, which people didn't, and now they want to sue. You'd have to prove it was intentional, egregious, or blatant lack of accountability on the companies part. They seem to be handling it the best they can considering most of these companies just go dark afterwards. Not your keys, not your coins 🤷
I'd just leave it alone in BTC, the more you play with it, the higher the chance you'll lose it.
I don't think fragmentation would make tracking any more difficult. There are advanced tracking methods, and they are done with computers, that can crunch such wallet counts easily and still see the connections. I think the only way to hide the trail would be to mix it with coinjoin transactions with other people with legitimate bitcoins. If you make a transaction with 3 inputs from 3 different wallets, each 1 BTC, but only 1 of them the stolen one. And the transaction sends 3 new outputs to 3 new addresses. Then you can't immediately tell, which one of them is the stolen one anymore. And it would throw a shade of the 2 legitimate ones. And then you would need to do some more advanced analysis to figure out which is the stolen one, by tracking further movements.
BTCI is a useful option for some people (like those wanting cash flow) but for overall return it will never beat BTC.
I'm thinking about moving my BTC to my Fidelity account. Currently using a Trezor.
It's somewhat difficult by hand, but can be easily tracked by software. Every descendant address from hold addresses, even 100 hops deep, is suspect. Someone innocently may end up buying that BTC. I don't know how accurate that website tracker is but a few addresses are labeled kucoin already. Exchange may freeze accounts getting those deposits. Will have to see how it plays out. Someone is getting paid to investigate all this and I'd like to believe they are doing their jobs.

"with BTC you can move a million dollars no problem while the banks would take forever and charge ridiculous fees" - every BTC chud last bullrun
So this is some 5D chess level form of triangular arbitrage? Saylor is such a jean-yus. Buy high. Sell low. Dilute common stock shareholders whom also have the least claim to BTC after debt and preferred, to increase BTC per share somehow? He said sell a kidney to buy something he sold at a loss. He's also been convicted of fraud and civily sued for fraud. He's a trustworthy fella.
That's an interesting point. I agree that BTC doesn't disappear and the history remains visible. The question I was thinking about is not whether the coins can technically be traced, but whether attribution becomes practically impossible when an attacker creates an extremely large transaction graph. At what point does the problem shift from "can we trace it?" to "can we realistically identify the person controlling it?"
Well we will see buddy. At this point, thinking 100% on either side isn't practical but assuming the future of BTC is ETF is just nonsense considering more than half of the world will use BTC but won't and dont have access to ETFs nor the banking solutions available to those in the West. This is why I believe self custody will grow alongside ETF users, you know why I know this? I am from a 3rd world country and we are not using freaking ETFs but self custody.
How many BTC do individuals here own?
Bitcoins are moving. You can get alerts in your browser when coins leave the hold addresses https://coldcard-hack-tracker.vercel.app/ There is no such thing as converting btc to anything. It's a trade, or an exchange, and bitcoin obviously remains on the blockchain. Bitcoin does not disappear into nothingness and "privacy altcoin" or stable coin does not appear out of thin air. If the hacker does a "trade" for another thing, coins move from hacker address A to another trader's address B. Hacker gets "other asset" but coins in address B that now belong to another trader are still being watched. When 6 months later address B sends to address C on an exchange, LE descends on that trader because they are KYC'd. Trader is mercilessly hassled and has to explain their entire life and how and where they got "other asset" to trade for the watched BTC they hold now. They will provide links and everything they can. LE subpoenas everyone, DEX runners, etc to keep closing in on the hacker. If anyone dabbles in shitcoinery, especially the half broken "privacy coins" I would avoid making any trades with them right now.
A jakiego etf polecacie do inwestowania w BTC?
I mean even if they send 5 BTC for cocaine and whore, isn't that tx going to be flagged by the authorities anyways?
Anyone with over a couple BTC knows enough to know to not trust a wallet like that.
I’m surprised that it hasn’t had too much of an impact on the price of BTC in relation to USD. Surprising positive I guess out of a bad situation
Lower price! Or just maintain current price for a long time. May BTC stay boring so it weeds out men who can’t just DCA but have to talk about it.
Exact same with me. \~0.1 BTC on a mk 3, just used their RNG, no passphrase. Got it out of there 8/31/26 as it was still there. I thought there was much more on there, but it turns out I literally just straight up forgot to move the majority of it off platform onto the ColdCard. I guess my laziness saved my ass for once in my life...
Same happened to me last year, lost 0.85 BTC (my whole stack, my whole saving), on a fake wallet on the Ubuntu store. I thought it was more or less like debian repos (which are usually safe), didn't know it was full of malware masquerading as reputable wallets.
Fishing for generous people to feel pity and give them some sats. They start high so that a rich person sending them like .25 BTC sounds more reasonable.
This is just one of many other wake up calls for good self custody. This has nothing to do with BTC as a protocl, but the behaviour of the average cold wallet user.
My grandmother used to tell me this was her favorite pastime and it would mean the world to her to get this BTC
Plenty of BTC have been hacked. Social hacking is a thing...
Yes, but it hits close to the culture surrounding the BTC - all the talk about being outside of the system, using cold wallets is sort of subdued now. Many of the worst hit users are the more technical ones, not less (like myself who actually trusts Binance with their 0.001 BTC) Also, it hits the widespread mainstream adoption story which is a cornerstone of BTC to 1 Million thesis.
call me a foul but i dont have dice hanging around and i dont want to send to exchanges. also mk4 was not hacked..it was the lower entropy mk3. I feel sorry for all that lost BTC - i was in celsius myself.
So where’s the other 1000 BTC?
Around that amount yes. How can it be a con when it gives me EXACTLY what they announce on their product website? That is a weird definition of a con. I'd say it's quite the opposite, especially recently when they sell BTC to fund the dividend even further down the line. Are you just jealous because you missed an opportunity to earn 12% a year without lifting a finger?
L take. Crypto is absolutely mainstream in some ways. You can literally buy into the crypto ecosystem on the stock market. Apps like Cash App and Robinhood make buying actual coins incredibly easy. The largest financial institutions in the world are exposed to cryptocurrency. Incidents like this Coldcard fiasco where people are experiencing MASSIVE losses through no fault of their own are deadly to the long term health and acceptance of cryptocurrency. As AI gets "smarter" and computers get stronger we may see more stuff like this happen and if that's the case it's basically a wrap for crypto as we know it. Even someone like me who's been investing since 2017 and believes in the long term potential is seriously thinking about selling at least half of my BTC next times it hits ATH and just dumping that money into my VOO ETF. Self custody is just too stressful in the long run. I don't wanna wake up one day to and have tens of thousands of dollars of my crypto gone because Ledger had security incident or something.
Horrible take and this attitude will keep BTC from being actually used IRL forever. It needs to be leveraged in a way that’s understandable for the avg person. That’s how mainstream adoption happens.
The guy on Twitter posted a link to an actual transaction (TxID: 20cfb1ee80f68bbb47b049015c76d7e8cd95046a79c7e6ca57b202c160c2f1b1) where 6.06 BTC gets moved, so it looks real enough.
If you have 6 BTC from long time ago and they suddenly land in an exchange, I wouldn't be surprised if they freeze the shit out of them until you provide all sorts of evidence.
How do you manage to have the funds to have 6 BTC yet be this careless when it comes to storing them? Why wouldn't you just move to a more trusted cold wallet or even an exchange for now, before getting some shady app from the app store that nobodies heard off.
How is Bitcoin NOT mainstream? We have ETF’s, companies leveraging debt to buy BTC, there’s crypto ATMs basically everywhere, basically everyone knows what Bitcoin is. IMO it’s completely mainstream. Whether it’s being used is a separate conversation tho
You want honest verdict ? With the current implementation none. BTC is not problem solving chain it's more of store of value much like gold. It's worth is what people agree to spend. More like a rare commodity. For any industrial use it's already to expensive. ETH and similar are trying to bring intrinsic values by running smart contract ( pay fee for execution of the smart contract ), but again too expensive for large scale real world execution. Crypto is in limbo and the problem is; if your blockchain does not generate revenue it doesn't get traction or adoption and if it generates revenue it becomes too expensive for real world mass adoption. Anyway, first the tech need to be made smooth for general purpose use and bad actors needed to be weeded out ( the casino makers, useless L1 chains, false promises etc). I think the best one not yet invented which will solve the “crypto limbo” — bring intrinsic value while being affordable.
It’s really interesting to me how many people, as of Coldcard saga, suddenly have more than 1BTC. 👀
I know someone who's been buying BTC since the beginning and he rolled his own wallet. He isn't worried. I'm also not worried about self custody. A wallet with a properly random seed is not at risk. The issue though is for Joe Average out there. It's already painful to use bitcoin, this makes it much worse. People's perception on the security they have has been shattered to some degree. On the flip side, people are sheep and since it didn't affect them, they don't seem to care - look at how many people are now shilling Ledger as an example of a secure wallet. As if having firmware with seed export to the cloud is something that we should proclaim a good idea.
Having BTC rules you out of being smart.
I mean, the device can still sign. There's no reason not to use it. I feel I wouldn't be using it if I had lost any BTC because of it, despite of understanding how it works, just out of pure anger. I did investigate something you might find interesting. You can create your own signing device with a USB drive booting into Tails OS and using Electrum Wallet there to have your dice generated private key. And then going back to an online machine to broadcast the transaction through Sparrow in any os you like. I also recommend downloading the HTML of Ian Coleman website and opening it in Tails to check dice generated entropy in an offline environment. I think this shit that has happened will educate some of us, will expell many, and will scare almost everyone.
If you're wondering why they keep "selling low, buying high", it's because they're arbitraging BTC with MSTR--not with USD. MSTR price moves like leveraged BTC price. When BTC price rises, MSTR price rises even faster. And when When BTC price falls, MSTR price dumps even harder. Strategy's main goal is to increase Bitcoin-Per-Share (BPS) of MSTR, which requires selling BTC when its price is high relative to MSTR even though that happens to be when it's low relative to USD. They could "sell high, buy low" if they arbitraged against USD and held a larger USD reserve, but they're stubborn.
Big green candle for BTC for what reason exactly?
BTC, like every other security system (banking, military, government..) are facing the same threat. It’s not like BTC is the only one in danger from high computing power. They are going to adapt accordingly, why wouldn’t they?
Yep. Sold 1638 BTC to repurchase STRC shares. No wonder STRC finally rose past $90.
Get a **Bitbox02** BTC-only edition. They are very thorough when it comes to safety and their software is open source.
Plot twist: he sent his BTC to the wrong address
If anything is a bearish case for BTC it’s this god damn community. Nothing but a bunch of assholes. Make a post about losing some money “fake post the transaction” - posts transaction - “that’s not real” - seriously why would anyone waste their time over this. I came to find people that maybe went through the same but you’re all just uneducated simps with nothing better to do. No wonder bitcoin doesn’t do anything.
Maybe they were simply early and bought BTC with their leftovers. You don’t need to be smart to buy a lottery ticket.
Split up your BTC between multiple wallets.
Hard to believe someone would be so careless with 6 BTC
So a couple things I’ve learned following this incident the last few days. You need to be able to trust your hardware token provider. I’d be looking for one that has an experienced and large engineering/security team. If you look at how much BTC you own and think “If I lost this then it would really hurt and be hard to recover” you should look at multisig options (Bitkey or Casa/unchained if you don’t feel comfortable doing multivendor multisig yourself. This is me) If you really don’t trust yourself or are at all technical then sure you can look at Ibit or something. This would be if you are just looking at the price to increase and not looking to hold Bitcoin yourself and has its owns risks.
But you made a fake post about being a loser and losing your BTC, by definition that means you are a loser... Don't shoot the messenger 😭
I mean, owning six BTC and not knowing reputable wallets, it sounds almost like it’s not true.
Hold up, you made a post saying you allegedly lost 0.05 BTC, and you're calling others loser? By definition arnt you the loser crying online about some shit?
Looks like saylor sell out sold more BTC.
Just send me the BTC, I send double of it back.
The most curious thing was how the first attack moved all funds to the same BTC address. That doesn't sound like someone planning this for months. They would have had 100 addresses to send to, and put the whole thing through a mixer before anyone even realized what was going on.
ikr Guys, do not use corporate implementation for Bitcoin. The community has been developing tools for 16 years to generate safe BTC wallets. Your HW should be only used to load your private key and used to sign transactions, do not use their hardware to generate your seed, even if they say it all safu.
I have noticed that past bottoms have occurred about 1 year after an ATH, and October matches this. That said we cannot know if it will repeat the cycle at all and if it does will the timing be different. I have been DCA the past months and will continue until BTC reaches around 70k in euros and then I’ll hold. My system but who knows what will actually happen..
If a weak CC seed is found to have 0 BTC but has movements in the past, crackers will definitely try some easy wordlist passphrases.
Patience is key. But true if they did I would of done it when BTC was 125k not 64k
I think its a BTC Bear market, but my concern is when there is a large correction in the overall market how it will affect us. The institutional investors are much more skittish than we are. We are heading for a major recession (we've technically been in a recession off and on since 2022)
The problem with alt coins is the only useful thing they have ever done is offer a cheaper way to move BTC and ETH around when gas is high. They literally don't do anything but offer speculation. After 10+ years of multiple generations of investors being burned, its just not worth it. You can get the same returns with less risk from the stock market.
Your value would have anyway fallen irrespective of the delay given both BTC and eth fell. 2% is nothing bro.
Putting 100 BTC in a wallet and saying ‘hack it’ doesn’t test Anthropic’s sandbox security, it tests whether Claude can break Bitcoin cryptography. Those are completely different challenges
BTCI is a horrible idea. It owns Bitcoin-related ETPs and overlays an active options strategy designed to generate monthly distributions. Selling call options can sacrifice some Bitcoin upside in exchange for current cash flow. It is not intended to replicate Bitcoin as cleanly as FBTC. Not only these reasons but it’s annual fee to own is four times 3 times more expensive. So if your plan own $250k of BTC then you pay $633 annually where as if you own the same amount of BTCI you pay $2500
He doesn't really care about making more money, more about providing abundance to the world and making us multi planetary. That being said both Tesla and Spacx both hold around 10k BTC each on their balance sheets.

The fact that BTC didn’t protect their holders by securing the entire ecosystem and wallets providers by strongly suggestion to use a Qastle Wallet !!!!!! From Krown technology is just pure negligence and stupidity !!!!
When BTC is at 200k, you’re going to wish you bought the dip @ 62k on 8/3/26 😂
I have 200 USD in BTC on this scam platform. I think they are all lost. I'll report to local police just to cut the amount from taxes...

Yeah at this point I don’t know why ppl just don’t buy ibit. If ibit and Coinbase go down then BTC will truly be over. Ibit will also allow you to sell CCs on ur capital
This will force some people to never look back at bitcoin... This is sad, since that never was a problem of BTC itself
This will not affect the market price of BTC.
I understand. And I’m also going to trust Fidelity’s ability to put together a safer “wallet” than myself going forward. I don’t know where the next threat comes from. That company in particular was very early to BTC and they already secure trillions in assets.
Also if you sell your BTC in Fidelity, it was a horrible deal for me to sell. I had to move my BTC off Fidelity to sell in order for the fees to be much lower.
In a currency exchange? I doubt it. This wasn’t a transfer. This was a swap from BTC to ETH.
Swapping BTC to ETH now? LOL
Guys hear me out, move your BTC to Xapo bank ASAP
Mass adoption will never happen. BTC is volatile, slow, and ultimately there are too many whales who can liquidate.
That is insane, I thought I was already lucky by moving 1 BTC out of Celsius 3 months before the collapse.
Bro I’ve been selling BTC all year and making insane gains elsewhere you guys are a dying breed and that’s not a compliment lmao.
You said "spreading out BTC". I'm not talking about SPENDing. If you only have a hw wallet, it goes down and you lose all, but nothing else happens will hit you. If you have half in an exchange and half in a cold wallet, you now have two things to worry about, and in each case you will lose 0.5.
I had not heard about the BTC Heist until j just the other day becayse i have not been around my computer as of late, but wheb i was reading another subreddit post and replies someone said something like how CC did not have the money to pay everyone back so it made me think that if there company was not worth 100 million or something like that so i thought to myself well shit i bet the owner split after finding out about the vulnerabilities and either hacking it himself or finding someone else to do it for him but then he got burned because the hacker he thought he could trust thought to himself well what's better that 50 million?? 100 million and no strings so i really do think it was an inside job honestly it just sounds from the way people have been talking about it all over the place like the it was an inside job. I am completely with you on that train of thought.
You sell your BTC , you buy physical GOLD , you buy a gun , as safe as it gets.
If you have (for e.g.) more than 1 BTC, I would read up about multi-sig wallets and set one up. Using different wallets of course! Brute forcing the extra password can be extraordinarily difficult if you choose well. I suspect the 'two word passphrase' was easily guessed. Also, I assume that Coldcard have had a \*very\* thorough review of their code base after this and their devices are probably pretty secure. Note that it was not the hardware that was faulty but the software. So I'm keeping my Coldcard 3 and keeping the firmware up to date.
I bought IB1T today, was holding my stash on Jade. Will take a hit on taxes, but I will know my BTC is secure. Yearly tax fillings and inheritance will be super easy. TER is a bitch, but well worth for the piece of mind. I cannot afford my +1 BTC to be stolen, it took me 5 years to accumulate in a terrible job in a god-forsaken EU country. I know Jade is safe, code is open source etc but I am not tech savvy, there could be a problem (as CC) that I would understand nothing.
That could be a really lengthy answer but I could maybe give you one example even though it may not answer your question. 1) Say I have three BTC and three kids and I'm planning my inheritance to make sure everyone gets 1 BTC, I could use the cold card to sign three different transactions on three different SD cards and give it to my estate lawyer for when I die. This is a very secure way to guarantee a transfer will be made at a future date without any middlemen or hackers changing my wishes. I'm not giving my private keys to anyone, Just three signed transactions that only sends a set amount of BTC (1) to a specific address (Little Joey's BTC address) All my estate lawyer can do with these files is broadcast the signed transactions, the address can't be changed and the amount can't be changed.
You feel compelled to fact check someone claiming they own 0.05 BTC? Grow up man I’m just venting a bad situation. Not asking for sympathy.
What about the long-term outlook? It is uncertain how this will play out in the long run. BTC's average price needs to more than double every 4 years to cancel out the halving and fiat devaluation.

Is all this in response to the post the other day where the guy lost 0.15 BTC using a hardware wallet but claimed he never exposed the seed phrase online?
>If funds are recoverable at some point, they will probably be sent back to their original owners. If that does happen, it won't happen via returning BTC to the same wallets, because they remain compromised, it could just get drained again.
It's because the "experts" are giving you shitty advice. Notice how none of the "experts" lost their coins? The experts use multisig, or Electrum or Core airgapped, or frankly just Electrum on some random old ThinkPad running Linux that is not airgapped at all. This whole Coldcard, "Swan," "River" crowd are complete CLOWNS. They are CLOWNS. They're the second wave of BTC maximalists, guy who got famous in 2017-2024 with their GARBAGE catering to "ORANGE PILLED" IDIOTS who will trust anything so long as it's BTC ONLY! You trusted these people who treat Bitcoin like a religion and you got burned because life is not a fairytale. Next time, just use Electrum, or a Bluewallet multisig, or a LEDGER goddamnit, not your weird ass COLDCARD!
Left crypto, wont leave BTC I'll reduce exposure and IBIT only.
