That address then transferred the tokens into a main Kraken hot wallet. Kraken doesn't have users receive funds into their hot wallets because they'd have no idea who sent what or why, so they use an individual receive address and then transfer them. You can even see where Kraken funded the wallet with a very small amount of ETH to pay to move the funds into their hot wallet (https://etherscan.io/tx/0x340732d5a05c1786f63a3127d7a21b83b562b9ea031ca4da8f6e14ffd064f7a8) because the address had no ETH in it to pay the gas to move. Because Kraken doesn't support cbBTC, the transaction from 14 days ago (https://etherscan.io/tx/0x340732d5a05c1786f63a3127d7a21b83b562b9ea031ca4da8f6e14ffd064f7a8) doesn't flow through to the hot wallet of the exchange. It's sitting in your individual receive wallet on the Kraken exchange. You need to go through their non-supported / wrong chain asset recovery process. I hope this helps you.

Oooooph!!! It is important to know a few experienced crypto investors to bounce off of. I watch influencers thoroughly, carefully, take their nuggets of info with a bit of a grain of salt. Brian Jung seems to be a clear, somewhat cautious and stable guy. I like the over the top millionaire crypto Bro guy, who shoots his Bro mouth off continually and holds a silly pistol when he talks. He is the only Bro in the world that I like because he seems to do it ironically but he is probably at least somewhat of a bro in real life. His wife is a designer. I read a lot of forums, and am in the Canada Bitcoin or Canada Crypto FB group whatever it is. I also have been discouraged and am just getting my mojo back. Bitcoin was pretty widely expected to begin to increase in value between late winter and summer and tank by fall. In January we were entering the next bull run, which had traditionally occurred as a four year cycle. And Bitcoin did increase by June. My personal goal had been to sell when I make my measly $500 and put it into other crypto but overall the vast majority of mainstay crypto is losing money. I wonder if people expect crypto probably will continue to plummet under Trump? Or will other governments in the next years, buying Bitcoin, improve Bitcoin and possibly other cryptocurrencies? I figured it would do better with his crypto reserve but I had not studied his 1970 era interests in tariffs like my spouse had. I should have pulled my $500 gains out this June & put it into Canadian stocks but I’m new to stocks… Some Canadian stocks are on the rise or will be due to the sense of unity and federal push for investments.

„Deep research”. Googling „which meme coin will pump 100x” and then going in degenerate FB groups to YOLO your allowance into fartcoin is not research. This is a degen post.

We’re in the “internet era” of BTC and it’s 1999. Your parents didn’t know what it was. Now, parents are texting unfunny memes to you and posting to FB. One day everyone will understand it, and by then it’ll be too late. But right now? It’s still 1999. Take advantage.

Too much sap. Come on, the phones are pretty cool. It's up to you what you use them for. As bad as things may look, you are not a slave in the US. You can quit, you can move, you can start your own gig. You are not chained at the ankle and beaten when you stop working to post this whine & cheese. FB earns $165 billion in revenues. Make your own fair, profitable, and socially valuable business. I blocked FB at the router, they make no money from me. Neither do the chip and soda companies. Their existence or products don't affect me by choice. Things are way better than they were before. Fake lives on tiktok make it look like everyone is having a better time but they don't. 24/7 new cycle makes it look like murder and pillaging is everywhere, and it is, but at much smaller scale than at any other time in history. You are welcome to escape it all. Get your people together and fuck off to the woods. Build your self sustainable farm and don't use fiat for anything. If you want wealth you need to provide the equivalent of products or services to society, not just wax poetic about how bad things are. You have your views, and knowledge, and conclusions though perhaps somewhat jaded. Use the resources available to improve your own lot, within the "big bad" system, or outside of it.

First FB bans crypto ads and everythign related to blockchain, now this. Who could've thought!

My bad lol, too subtle for me after spending too much time on the subs where people are asking for buying advice for the latest tech they found on FB marketplace for half the market value

Mediocre_Piccolo8542

You make more money with a DINO than an officially centralized one. Simple. And SUI is perfectly designed for FB, and they share many investors. You already admitted that Elon did it too. Trump was a token, not a blockchain. Different target demographic and different purpose.

She did want me to open a wallet in Coinbase. She said she's wealthy she just like helping people out. She does want kids, didn't mention a beach. She DM'ed me on FB. Yep, claimed 15-20% gains, from her 'teacher'. 15%, the world would be doing that! She said she does binary trading She is very smart Not named Sandy, I forgot her name stay away is what I would do.

Lavasioux

That's a good question. I'm not sure what about it appeals to me so much- the simplicity maybe. FB and X overwhelm me, and I adore blockchain tech. So it just tickles some niche.

Juz10_Surprise

Btc,Eth,BNB, if altcoins make it past 5 years they are past skeptism. BRISE/bitgert,HUH, PIT is Pitbull meme think it is running to be top dog. I have recieved BNB rewards for staking BRISE a few years ago forgot about it still Holding. Merge mining LTC , Doge, Pep, Dingo,Jkc,Lky,Bells, FB,ELA, Bch,SYS,NMC, BTC although everything has been speculated as rugpull. I still wonder about BTC as there will not be anymore made after it runs out, although Satoshi is unknown once it is all gone what takes place? Does all the investors lose their money? Makes me wonder… Do we go through the Greater Depression of the Digital 20’s as if history repeats itself of the Great Depression of the Roaring 20’s… who truly knows tills it happens as they made tokens and coins & stamps in communities then also Gold was illegal to own like prohibition era… So they feared it till they control it to tax it. With tariffs who knows if everything will normalize or go Dark as digital holdings become unaccesible by loss of energy or seized digital currencies like prohibition all in or all out…

Well you’re having way more fun than me lol, I don’t even let it get to $ talk before I eventually drop them. I only recently added I’m into crypto on my bio, not many takers yet. You’re doing all the right things! But, that videoing may be bunk. Are you FaceTiming live? Bc if not, AI and software make it super easy now to fake vids just with someone’s picture. They tried it with me on Snapchat lmao, pretty good attempt but the mouth and words didn’t match up a few times. Sometimes when you can’t reverse check a photo it’s bc it’s stolen from a private IG or FB account after they friended them. Sandy is lining up the scam, trust that.

Bro there's at least 100,000 accounts on IG/X/FB/Whatever other socials that sell "signals" and they're all 100% bullshit. Lol.

clavidk

Yah! That's a great counter point - BUT the more I think about it, I feel like the two are not comparable. 1. Myspace had a 6mo-1yr lead before Facebook (2003 myspace, 2004 FB). Gold has over a century lead on BTC. 2. Myspace hadn't reached market penetration in the most important markets when FB took over (so one could say MS' network effects weren't super established yet) * Myspace likely had around 20% of college students by end of 2005 * Facebook had 85% of college students by end of 2005 (https://techcrunch.com/2005/09/07/85-of-college-students-use-facebook) * In comparison --> amongst global superpowers, 100% have a gold reserve

GrouchyAd9824

I finally capitulated and just sold my whole portfolio after a $350k drop and it's extremely bittersweet for this reason. I'm still up $350k in the last 10 years so it's not a huge deal, but I couldn't take it anymore. My life became consumed staring at the chart 24/7 and I sank deep into alcohol and depression for a little spark of dopamine when the 20% green candles happened every few months. It was yesterday when I had enough, capitulated, and sold. I was so sick from the loss I legit puked and was so dead inside I slept the entire day. I'm still feeling the beating, but I'm much better this evening. I started looking for a regular job and realigning my life. I think there's greener pastures on the other side of this chart/trading addiction. I haven't worked a regular job in 5 years because trading paid better than any job I could find and even when I did work, I was still consumed by the charts. I'm planning to DCA back into markets again when I'm more stable, but I'm getting the hell away from Robinhood and getting some kind of traditional investment portfolio. That live chart ruined my life. Anyway, yeah, I was able to not stare at the charts prior to 2017. I first bought BTC in like 2014 and forgot about it until my FB feed was going nuts and that's when staring at the charts started for me.

If they are utilizing that ad revenue to build the ecosystem, that can only be a good thing. Reddit became a multi billion dollar company and FB a multi trillion dollar off mainly ad revenue. The coin is intended to be used in various Dapps on their ecosystem. They have about 70 apps already, quit a few decent ones, I use Poker On Pi heaps.

Tarmuyi

If you bought a knife off FB Marketplace, is Zuckerberg responsible for you wounding people with it? That is your thinking. If drugs aren't sold in space X, they will be sold in space Y. People are shit, but it isn't the person owning space Y who is responsible.

Savik519

Sell something on craigslist or FB for BTC. 

General_Strike356

Lots of pi FUD around. Obviously that’s all it is or it wouldn’t be #11 after just a few short weeks 1. Pi uses consensus protocol and has more nodes than any other crypto. It is an attention market like FB. 2. Ponzi schemes, and pyramid schemes, require you to put in your own money upfront. Pi does not and never has. This is a BS accusation. 3. KYC is the future and protects the project. Everywhere I do anything financially, I have to KYC. Pi does not intend to be used as a criminal monetary tool. 4. Utility and use case are accessibility and mass adoption. In Asian countries, Pi is already being used regularly as currency. There are places all over the world accepting pi as payment. Go to pi browser apps and check Map of pi. 5. Pi is backed by Stanford university. They are not always as transparent as I would like about their timeline and plans, but they have very credible backing. Not sketchy. There’s a very good reason it’s number 11. They took a long time but in return, they hit the ground running with a worldwide community of millions and millions of users. Do yourself a favor and educate yourself before you start spewing baseless accusations.

Brendan056

Put it on FB marketplace, sell it and buy some btc my friend

General_Strike356

Since you are copying same misinformation in multiple places, I will also copy mine - This is complete and utter FUD. I have already both bought and sold Pi, and pulled the money off the exchange. On top of that, in many Asian countries, it is being used as currency. Apparently the two sites you mention think it is not a scam as they have ranked pi #11, and there has been billions and billions of dollars in volume since it went live. There is a block chain the reflects all activity. They have more nodes than any other crypto. It is not PoW or PoS, it uses a consensus algorithm which focuses on trusted security circles. Pi uses almost no energy on my phone. They haven’t collected any more information about me than any other financial entity made me provide for KYC. Or other apps with cookies, or FB. What coin do you love that pi threatens? Jealousy is quite unattractive! 😂

Neo2029

All diff places but you’re smart to start here and ask other smart peeps as there are scammers everywhere out there and YouTube fanboys just growing follower count. Some good yt channels too. I follow @iheartcrypto on FB and @PlanB on yt and read cryptoSlate and a dozen others.

yoyo4880

With hindsight, everyone can make a statement like this. “If you sold 500 Apple shares back in 2010, you’d be missing out on $xxx if you just held on to it”. Same with Amazon, FB, TESLA. You can just say everyone who sold a single share within the past 10 years made a mistake.

Your granddad is using this meme on FB by now.

We have never had anything like the TikTok algorithm going on. Say cars, great step once they became available for most people but, those people were the same people riding horses as before but now get there faster. Now with TikTok/IG/FB whatever the brains of the people are absolutely crooked, attention spans are fucked up, reward mechanism in the brain are fucked and dopamine systems and whatnot, those same mechanism are being exploited everywhere to get weird people in power, it's really a weird fucking time. I can confidently say 2015 definitely didn't feel half as fucked up as right now.

One of my friends just announced on FB that he is now a certified crypto expert. Seriously. It is amazing how scams just move from one thing to another.

I'm migrating most of my crypto /investment focus off of Reddit. Wish the conversation still dominated here but it just doesn't. What communities are you most active in away from here? Certain X communities I need to join? TG Discord stuff? FB?? IG / Tiktok? For the love of god I don't want to download tiktok tho.

Long tail as in data stored forever or until the product dies, and the mostly useless part is important - think of all the pics and vids uploaded to Instagram, FB and YT that get very few impressions. It's the vast majority of all content by a longshot, just never gets used, never contributes in an economically sound way to how those businesses make money - except it does, it platforms the users who upload that content and creates the network effect for those companies. Those companies subsidise the useless content from 99.9% of users to maintain the network effect, otherwise you'd see 99.9% of YT being deleted regularly. With the IC model if YT were magically transported across and each channel was to be funded by viewers rather than ads you'd see a bloodbath of channels and therefore users, it's unsustainable. [Yral](https://yral.com/hot-or-not/uoabt-raaaa-aaaai-qqztq-cai/0) is like Instagram/TikTok on the IC, they've made some poor choices architecturally, 1 user per canister model which means huge costs when it comes time to upgrade the app for an ever growing amount of users and just like all other social apps most of the accounts are dead they posted once or twice and that's that, so they're paying for the upkeep of canisters that will never interact with the app again. There's a balancing act with the IC architecture, you want more users per canister so you don't have to upgrade many thousands of canisters at once regularly, you also have to consider a multi-subnet approach to balance load across the network because if you're relying solely on one subnet and saturating it with work because your app is popular then you're going to be causing outages/delays for yourself and everybody else on the subnet at huge cost to yourself.

mr_herz

It's always the same predicament. People said the same about twitter and FB in their early days. But if you want crypto to become mainstream, that comes with all types

codemajdoor

depends, there are crypto you can USE and then there is crypto you should HOLD (Hodl?). the one you should hold should have max network acceptance effect kinda like social networks. sure you can code you own FB in a month but you cant install it in people's minds. countless shitcoins have been doing this for about a decade now.

NoUsernamesss

This is the only possible way to “ You would be a millionaire if you had bought $1,000 worth of Bitcoin 15 years” because everyone and I mean everyone wouldn’t be able to resist to sell at 1k, 5k, 10k, 30k, 50k, and so on. I find it extremely hard to believe you haven’t heard of Bitcoin for 10 years. Every time it hits all time high prices the news is everywhere; TV, YouTube, FB, Articles, Walmart, a student essay.

gihkal

CP is on Reddit, FB, Google and x as well. Yet like SR they didn't allow it. How many people died? That's the wrong question. How many people were saved by allowing a reviewed and reliable marketplace for dangerous products that people of all walks of life enjoy? Ya. Cocaine is dangerous. The most dangerous part is being involved in the market. It's easy to get robbed and killed, police violence and poor quality assurance. Let's say beef was made illegal. Would people be robbed and killed procuring it? Would police kill people involved in the illegal market ? Would people die because of the poor quality assurances? Step back and look and who is doing the majority of the damage when it comes to drugs. It's the drug war. Heroin never would have been as popular as it was if opium and morphine weren't made illegal. Fentanyl never would have been pushed indiscriminately if heroin wasn't made illegal. The drug war obviously doesn't work and is hurting people. I can't say silk road is the way to go but there is a a better solution somewhere in the middle. Your fear shouldn't dictate my liberty. Careful with this dope folks. It's really not worth it.

chemmajorhehehe

He meant ‘in Bitcoin, I’m sure (in equal value). That said I would take the Bitcoin. I actually sold something on FB marketplace recently, and he asked how to pay. I said i prefer Bitcoin if you have it! Instead he responded nah I prefer to keep mine. So I helped him haul it out and used that Venmo money to immediately buy Bitcoin.

shescrimsonclad

Great question! So, one of the tricky things to do when approaching this question is bending your mind around the fact that Hive itself is not just one decentralized social media site, but rather, more like the gigantic interconnected resource database that powers any single one. Hive doesn't do anything at all but collect what you voluntarily put into it- and it then makes that information available to \*\*\*everyone, everywhere.\*\* So for some people, there's no data other than transactions- and for others, they've chosen to document their entire lives, from their real names to their work or time-capsuled history. Some people just play games and all the data tied to them are wins and losses and their favourite gear loadouts. If we compare this to some of the more notorious data handling situations, especially compared to Facebook, being allowed to be fully voluntary is different (FB has wild automated takedown and rulesets around names and content etc, including the ability to not allow you and someone else to connect, even if you both want to) and who has access to that data is different. The only way FB can monetize, and many social media sites in general, is to gatekeep and hide this collected data, and sell it to the highest bidder. Hive really throws that for a loop, as it allows anyone on OR off chain to collect it, analyze it, use it or infer from it whatever they want. There's no way to hide what someone wants visible, and no one front end can be an arbiter of data. That means that any site or service has access to the same data, and can interpret or use it however they want. You could look for post categories, wallet or game relationships, public memos- whatever you wanted to draw on to work with. And the flip side is a user never has to provide anything at all they don't want to. They're not forced to use the platform any particular way, and if they so choose can use things like encrypted memos to send information without the contents being available. What this basically means is that there's a democratization of data. It forces projects and sites to think about what they want to achieve, how to sort and display and build tools that use data intelligently to create a good product. It means that there are a dozen social front ends that are all pulling the exact same stuff that look and feel entirely different and allow a user to choose the one that suits them and provides them with the granular experience they like best. It's a bit like if FB, X, Insta, TikTok, and all the rest all shared the same usernames and post history. What would that world look like if not only a few big corps and government agencies were in control of knowing and shaping everything you do, just to use it against you financially and socially? Well... we're kind of hoping to tell more people about this parallel set of tools that brings that to life.

iam8x11

Immutable account and content.  Your account cannot be deleted/banned like on centralized platforms such as FB, X, Reddit etc.  Not sure that's "counters" other coins, but it's a use case many others do not have.  Hive is not a privacy coin like Monero, Zano, Firo etc. which can have disadvantages, but you do have option ti keep your account anonymous by not disclosing any personal data when posting.

nicetrucknomoney

The NYT posted an article on FB about bitcoin reaching 100k. The 700+ comments are mostly negative and critical of bitcoin. Some comments are insulting towards bitcoin holders. We are definitely early

kmagic13

Should've listen to my college roommate to keep buying bitcoin when it was around $250-300. He seems to be doing well last time I check his FB.

$1000 it does everything ethereum does without the being lazy part. Ripple is going to be the FB and Google of crypto. /s

GrouchyAd9824

I learned my lesson, I bought around $400 and forgot about it until my FB was talking about the 2017 rally. I sold $6k and FOMO'd back in at like $12k and $16k, then wrecked all my gains. I reaccumulated ~$5k and quit being silly.

Julianne_Runner

Someone I'm connected to on FB posted something about who can't buy bitcoin with bitcoin and that is proof it is fraudulent.

Aggressive_Mess_1463

I do kick myself though, I had a friend that was into penny stocks around 2008-2012. He invited me into a couple FB groups to help me understand all of it. Which I tried but math is NOT my forte. I still remember him offering to sell me 3 BTC for I believe $1,000. I’ve known this person my whole life so I knew he was not trying To scam me. But he started explaining mining and how he did it from his personal pc starting in 2009. I want to say i remember him talking about some site called mount gox? Anyways rambling —- never sent him the $1000, I was a brand new nurse and it sounded all weird and confusing. I feel better educated now than I did then But I still have sooo much to try to understand.

GrouchyAd9824

It does not matter much. People also cannot explain Visa and why you mostly cannot pay 1 cent with your card and why there is a high fee on every purchase. As curious people keep hearing about it, they try and realize that the solution in place is not in favor of the users. People don't have to understand tech to use it: how many FB users know how a DB works ? What does matter however is the barrier of entry for sellers and buyers. For buyers, I would argue we are pretty good. For sellers, there is still work to be done so that your local backer (who may not be tech savvy as it is not his job) still can get around having a device to accept payment (there are good options today) and slalom the financial/taxes mess to resulting from payments in "crypto" in general.

lol Reddit is a leftist platform yes. The same way FB and Twitter are full of right wing users. Reddit is the one platform that doesn't have algorithms to push content that's relevant to you, people simply gather in places with others who share their interests and opinions. Echo chamber? sure. left wing propaganda? lol get out. It's simply their personal opinions and views, it's not propaganda just because you disagree with it.

While I'm not entirely optimistic about BTC, it would be stupid to be, I largely accept it as more likely to be a good investment than not. I had the same reservations when it was 7,000 and talked a friend into setting up an account and buying some. Other friends were interested too, but most didn't follow through. I posted about BTC hitting ATHs on FB and it largely was ignored. I spent way too much time day trading small amounts, like $5–10 at a time, to get the hang of it all. Then that collapse came and BTC dropped to \~15,000 from over 60,000. I felt all those naysayers judging, but I held on. All my alts tanked and never returned. I lost interest in day trading. Still, I told my parents to put a $1000 or more into BTC when it was at 15,000, but like most people, they weren't interested. Now a new ATH of 76,999. Rather than miss out on a return, I sold a sizeable percentage of my BTC at 75,000. I expect that it's more likely to go down than up, and I'll buy back at a lower price and wait on the next multiple-year cycle. While I see it as a risky investment, I also wonder what will replace it eventually. It's a given that something will. Until then, like Simply Red sang, I'll keep holding on.

UK population is in general risk averse and want everything provided for by the state + most of the folks are anti wealth and anti rich Keep it to yourself and dont post on FB, it makes you a target for envy crimes

What did you expect from FB, boomer land and matrixed people. Don't waste your time there.

Everytime I post something about crypto on FB I just get laugh reacts and shitty comments. So I stopped and just kept investing. Those same people will be hitting you up as this bull run continues and will FOMO in at the top and be whining when they lose money. Just stay the course. It’s still very early.

Any post about BTC or crypto on FB, even from a legitimate account, is usually regarded as a scam post from a hacker. A lady I know was hacked and this happened to her acct. Just because we liked her comment on BTC, we were DM’d from the hacker to discuss BTC, all with an end game from them to try to get to our sats. It’s like a phishing scam. People are just leery

I've been here since 2014, yes. 2014-2016 was an eternity until my FB had everyone losing their minds over BTC in 2017. 2018-2020 was also an eternity as well as 2021-2023. Sideways in a "bull market" like this is also pretty common. You'll get a couple months of explosive moves and it just hangs out for 3+ months.

Post like this usually uses to makes me gives up on my knowledge on maths. There's a post I saw on FB platform saying if you make 100k per day since Jesus era, you still won't be as rich as Elon bla bla. Always hated this kind of post :(

This is the boat I’m in. My issue is finding a seller who is open to accepting BTC in the transaction. I’ve done small transactions (bought a Jeep accessory on FB Marketplace), but when I offer on a property, they are hesitant to accept.

One of my distant FB friends posted in the earlier days "There will be a day we will all wish we bought more Bitcoin under $100/coin" ....I bought a little back then and have been buying little ever since. Jnrelated but he fell backwards while rocking in his chair, was in a coma for a long time and never fully recovered, misses some cognitive functions...So I live by this: Richest man is the healthiest man.

That's a fair question and this has been good and reasonable discussion. To answer that, I think that the dangers posed by AI in the hands of someone we know will misuse it to their advantage is significantly more worrisome than the idea of government officials slowing down the progress of AI advancement. I say this mostly because governments can't really slow the progress or implementation of AI for a few reasons. 1: The majority of the major AI players are already American companies. NVIDIA, Microsoft, Google, Tesla, FB, etc... 2: The nature of AI advancement is based on data consumptions. LLM and generative AI progress based on the data they have access to. The growth of their modeling is basically unstoppable at this point. They are being developed and fed data by the same companies that control the internet and digital data in general. 3: The government can write laws around ethics and privacy. They can't stop AI innovation. They would have needed to do that long ago. Technology is a space where the government has minimal ability to control. My industry for example has a similar scenario with EMR (electronic medical records). They don't tell us how to safeguard things. They don't tell us we have to use certain tools. They don't define our data policies. They have CMS who can audit your environment and determine if you have privacy issues. If you do, you then have to remediate and prove that you have implemented safety measures to avoid future occurrences. But they don't limit or dictate how we do that or what innovations we use within our own tools to solve the problem.

You're probably right. But compare to entering "Bitcoin" on IG, YT, FB, X there's gonna be a TON of noise. On r/Bitcoin it will be a clean stream of fire infotainment.

Trump has NEVER 👎 said he or family members own Crypto. There are a few comments here that are lies about ownership. Someone named Tough-Bear5401…. Is tossing feelings, thoughts, random numbers and ZERO facts! HE(Trump) DID attend a Bitcoin(BTC) conference(fact ✅), and he WAS a speaker there fact ✅, he DID say he supported Bitcoin and crypto overall ✅. This foolish person(can’t use mean word on FB) “tough-bear5401” says some nonsense about profits of the rich people. The failure of benefits of poor people investing. Major Bernie Sanders supporter! This person supports communist economic beliefs that the poor and lower middle class shouldn’t grow, they should just be happy where they are

And so your data will get lifted from FB, Google and Microsoft into the wilde wilde web for other criminal syndicates to pick over. No fine or prison sentence can undo that. When weird things happen later on, it will be your fault - you did not look after your data properly, nothing to do with your bank selling your data to sites that leak like sieves. Maybe one day we'll realise what an utter con all this mandatory data collection and storage is and that very little, if any, of it is truly for "your own protection".

Ledger hardware wallets will wipe themselves after 3 incorrect PIN attempts. As he had 3 hardware wallets that means you would most likely need either to be able to unlock his computer to get the wallet file (which is a skeleton wallet, the signing mnemonics only exist inside the hardware wallets). Failing that it is is possible to recreate a multisig quorum, but you would need 100% of the mnemonics, so potentially 3 (all of them) 12-24 words mnemonic seeds. There is a good chance he has them written down on paper or stamped into metal with hammer. Every single account that sends you a DM is a scammer. Every single "recovery expert" with YouTube / FB / IG / TG testimonials is a scam.
