There are now more than half of the total 21 million Bitcoins mined, and  we know that a vast amount of it is being hodled by whales.

 

But how do we know whether or not these whales are still active to crypto, have quit from crypto never to return, have lost their keys/wallets/etc., or have even gone deceased? Will those Bitcoins be considered as gone forever?

 

So I was thinking "Shouldn't there be a way to recover lost Bitcoins?" but couldn't think up of a way to do it. And then it hit me: if there is Bitcoin mining, maybe something like Bitcoin treasure-hunting will work.

 

Sounds ridiculous, but hear me out first. And if you know of something similar to this idea, please give me the link, at least I will know that I am not alone. 🙂

 

Most of us here should already be familiar with Bitcoin mining and its basic mechanics (if not, here's how it is done). Now in Bitcoin treasure-hunting, the same mechanics are used: but instead, a new block (I'll call it a 'treasure block' for the rest of this discussion) is created which is of course separate from the mining block. But for the treasure block to be created, an existing Bitcoin amount, that is confirmed that hasn't been moved for a very long time, is purged from circulation, and its contents are stored in a set amount to each treasure block that is created. And to unlock these treasure blocks, the same procedures that is done with mining is used.

 

If this is to be done, not only the lost Bitcoins can be recovered, the miners can also become treasure-hunters since both mechanics are similar, and even if the total amount of unmined Bitcoins are depleted somewhere in 2140, there is still some treasure-hunting the future generation will look forward to.

 

Of course I am not suggesting it should be done right away. With Bitcoins aged at only a little more than a decade, if this suggestion is to be done right away, of course there are a lot of people, whales especially, that is bound to get angry. With that in mind, I suggest that a minimum of 50 years from Bitcoin's creation should be sufficient enough. A very long time from now, and we might not even be still alive by then, but who knows what the future brings.

 

So, what do you think? Will something like this work? Or do you have a better idea of recovering lost Bitcoins for the longer term? Just post your comments below.

Nice idea, but this would mean serious altering to the bitcoin code and adding changes to the current immutable system just opens new ways to attack it. Less we change the code, more secure it is.

 

And then there's the point that i really don't see any reason to recover the lost bitcoins. Btc doesn't "run out" and if it becomes too expensive to move with 8 decimal place system, we can just increase the decimal places. And that wouldn't even create any inflation.

Yes I think that it can be real and bounty hunting here in cryptocurrency and Bitcoin is possible because I am in bitcoin talk also and there is a bounty hunting thread but I don't know what they do there and how they are earning money there.

I just said that i think this is not a viable possibility, so i don't know what are you talking about being "real", and this thread hasn't got anything to do with crypto bounty hunting so i am not sure what you are talking about.

 

Edit: Because your answer is off topic and doesn't make any sense in this context i am giving you spam reaction.

This is possible, the reason I am using bitcoin is because it is an asset, a treasure that grows over time. 

Same here, the price is not stable where in it can also grow more than what we expecting amount. 

It can grows up to twice or thrice of it's price now and we can't say the value of this coin in the near future.

It is true that the blockchain system is decentralized and has strong protection, but unfortunately it is also a ruthless system, and if Bitcoin is lost it can never be retrieved, unlike what happens in some traditional systems.

Bitcoin are either lost or not claimed apparently burn in cyber space but yes it could be nice to somehow reclaim these coins in some marketing I agree.

Yes, I know that it will be hard, but if Nakamoto-san really can't do it to his Bitcoin, maybe some future successor of Bitcoin might have this feature included 🙂 .

I do feel bad about some people who have lost huge amounts of Bitcoins due to carelessness though. While writing this topic, I also happened to read about a guy who mistakenly threw his hard drive with a cold wallet that has Bitcoins worth more than $100 million and is trying to search for it in his local dump site.

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/21/3-crazy-things-people-are-doing-to-recover-lost-bitcoin.html

Spoiler

1. One person has been trying to search a toxic landfill

James Howell, an IT worker in the United Kingdom, began mining bitcoin on his personal laptop in 2009. The Telegraph reports that his computer broke in 2013 but he kept the hard drive in case bitcoin became valuable one day. It did.

While cleaning his home that year, he mistakenly put the drive into a waste bin at his local landfill site in Newport, South Wales, where it got buried.

Now, with bitcoin's value hovering just above $15,000, Howell's 7,500 lost bitcoins are worth more than $117 million (as of Thursday afternoon).

 

The U.K. resident wants to try searching the landfill, which reportedly has 350,000 tons of waste, but the Newport City Council won't allow it.

According to tech website Wired, the landfill is not open to the public and trespassing would be considered a criminal offense.

And even if the drive were recovered, it likely would no longer work after being exposed to heavy and potentially toxic waste for so long.

Awww, the poor guy. He would have been a Bitcoin whale by now.

 

And I'm sure there are plenty more cases like these where cold wallets are destroyed and are irretrievable. My suggestion in this topic is for those Bitcoins that are lost this way.

Creating something that can Hunt lost bitcoins can be a good thing to discover how to go about it because there are many lost coins out there but I think this will take time to be managed or it will never happen.

Yeah, i actually think that there already could been projects that have tried this sort of thing. I mean there has been a lot of altcoins.

Problem is that if there would be another way to recover the lost bitcoins without the private key, that would mean that there would be another way to hack the address then pure math. And that would mean either centralization or rendering the bitcoin security to next to nothing. We already have this centralized version with Fiat cash.

It will be good but if only miners are able to just mine it again will be better, so that it will not be useless in circulation for ever because those in circulation now are like are not owned by anyone.

It is calculated by various researchers that between 1-4 million Bitcoins have been lost and are irretrievable. We don't actually know how much exactly they are that's the reason they are not removed from circulating supply. Satoshi had answered on this question on lost Bitcoins, saying that we can consider lost Bitcoins as an added value to the existing ones. It is like that exactly. The value usually increases as the total supply is reduced due to the reduction of a percentage of the supply.

About your suggestion, from what I know it is not possible to recover these lost Bitcoins right now. Perhaps in the future technology will advance further and there will be methods to do so.

This idea is very good and many people definitely need to search for the lost bitcoin. but in fact there is no way to retrieve or recover the lost bitcoins. I don't know how to do it. My mother lost half of bitcoin and I wanted to find it but I was helpless. I have no hope of regaining it.

Some where I heard almost 4 million bitcoins stolen are stored in wallets and their owners loss to access this accounts, so this coins are not use in trading are any where, if any latest technology launch and restored this loss coins then its help to circulated this coins in crypto market.

I think it's possible if the creators of bitcoin want to do it I think they will find a way , but I think it's unlikely that they will want to be hated by those who lost their bitcoins.

As for these things, it certainly happened, as many whales lost their wallets that contain large amounts of bitcoins, in addition to the death of many whales and the broadcasting of their currencies.
The idea I mentioned is very good, but it is impossible to happen because it is dangerous and will lead to major changes within the system of Bitcoin

The idea is quite amazing as it seems. But also the bitcoin is secured with some immune codes and system. The more we try to break the system or rules ,the more it will become a risk for everyone. So that's why i guess that it is not wise to make the idea possible. But the idea seemed quite amazing if you knew the creating procedures or codes.

I think it is difficult to access those funds that no one can access, because there are many forgotten portfolios that contain good quantities of bitcoin and their owners forgot them and no one can access them to their owners, so I think these quantities will remain buried.

Only the creators of the Bitcoin can modify the code to include it if they wish.

 

And inactive Bitcoins aged 50 years or more should be eligible to be 'hunted'. For some people who have misgivings about this crazy idea ruining bitcoin prices, I also already gave the stipulation that it should be similar to mining, in that the lost Bitcoins shouldn't be released all at once without some effort.

 

... ... ...

 

Since some of us probably won't be alive by the time Bitcoin has aged that far, we shouldn't be too serious about the implications of this suggestion of mine. But who knows, maybe some future genius will pick up on this.

That of whales not being active, I think is kind of a stock lie that of whales not active, as they just keep staking up their wallets. As practically we have even guys who stake up money on their Banks and restrict some circulation of money, as it's common to have many different coin whales

You are right about whales, they even do manipulate, I have been trying to learn trading recently and I have seen whales manipulations, especially when the marketcap of a coin is not that much.

That should be one of the reasons why I said that seriously considering the idea in this topic is a bit too soon (but shouldn't stop anyone from commenting here though). If a few decades or even a century has passed and a certain Bitcoin amount remains untouched, then one can be sure that that amount can be considered as lost or 'burned' coins.

 

But then there are also news of potential whales who literally threw their coins into the garbage dump (see the link on my previous comment). Those large amounts are really gone and are irretrievable.

    • Forex and Cryptocurrency Forecast for 27 – 31 May 2024 EUR/USD: The Battle of Europe and US PMIs   Overall, the past week favoured the dollar, but the advantage over the European currency was minimal. If you look at where the EUR/USD pair was on 15 May, it returned to this zone on 24 May, regaining the losses of recent days. Recall that the report from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released on 15 May showed that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) decreased from 0.4% to 0.3% month-on-month (m/m), against a forecast of 0.4%. On an annual basis, inflation also fell from 3.5% to 3.4%. Retail sales volume demonstrated an even more significant decline, from 0.6% to 0.0% month-on-month (forecast 0.4%). These data indicated that inflation in the country, though resistant in certain areas, is still on the decline. At that moment, there were renewed discussions in the market about a possible rate cut by the Fed as early as this autumn. As a result, the Dollar Index (DXY) went down, and EUR/USD went up. Stock indices S&P 500 and Nasdaq reached record highs.   The most volatile day of the past week was Thursday, 23 May. Preliminary business activity data in the Eurozone exceeded expectations, strengthening the euro and lifting the pair to 1.0860. In Germany, the main locomotive of the European economy, the Manufacturing PMI rose from 42.5 to 45.4 points (forecast 43.2). This is still below the 50.0-point threshold separating decline from growth, but the trend is clearly positive. The Services PMI reached its highest level since June last year, hitting 53.9 against a forecast of 53.5 and a previous value of 53.2.   Germany's Composite PMI increased from 50.6 to 52.2 (market expectations were 51.0). Overall, business activity statistics in the Eurozone were also positive. The Composite PMI updated multi-month highs and, with a forecast of 52.0, actually reached 52.3 points (previous value 51.7).   However, the euro bulls' joy was short-lived. Later on Thursday, similar preliminary data on the US economy were released. They showed that business activity in the country's private sector grew at the highest rate in the past two years. The Manufacturing PMI rose from 50.0 to 50.9 points, and the Composite PMI jumped from 51.3 to 54.8 in a month. Market expectations were much lower, at the previous level of 51.3, so such a sharp rise signalled a surge in the DXY to 105.05 and a fall in the EUR/USD pair to 1.0804, as the likelihood of a rate cut in September decreased.   But the bears' joy was also short-lived. The GDP data released on Friday, 24 May, for Q1 2024 in Germany showed that the country's economy is saying goodbye to recession and moving into the growth zone. After a decline of -0.3%, GDP increased by 0.5%, resulting in a net growth of +0.2%.   In the end, after all these fluctuations, EUR/USD returned to the Pivot Point of the past one and a half weeks, closing at 1.0845. As for analysts' forecasts for the near future, as of the evening of 24 May, most (65%) expect the dollar to strengthen, 20% expect it to weaken, and the remaining 15% are neutral. All trend indicators on D1 are green, while 60% of oscillators are also green. Another 15% are red, and 25% are neutral grey. The nearest support for the pair is in the zones of 1.0830-1.0840, 1.0800-1.0810, then 1.0765, 1.0710-1.0725, 1.0665-1.0680, and 1.0600-1.0620. Resistance zones are located at 1.0880-1.0895, 1.0925-1.0940, 1.0980-1.1010, 1.1050, and 1.1100-1.1140.   The following week's calendar highlights Tuesday, 28 May, when the US Consumer Confidence Index will be announced. On the next day, 29 May, data on consumer inflation (CPI) in Germany will be released. On Thursday, 30 May, preliminary US GDP data for Q1 2024 will be published. The last working day of the week and the month might be quite eventful. On Friday, 31 May, Germany's retail sales volumes, preliminary inflation indicators (CPI) in the Eurozone, and the US Core Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index will be announced. Traders should also note that Monday, 27 May, is a public holiday in the US, as the country observes Memorial Day.   GBP/USD: Uncertain Times for the Pound   The prospects for the British currency, as well as the national economy as a whole, are ambiguous. Additional uncertainty is brought by the fact that early parliamentary elections are scheduled for 4 July. As Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stated, "economic instability is just the beginning. [...] The time has come for Britain to make a choice. [...] Uncertain times require a clear plan and bold actions." However, what these "bold actions" will be remains unknown.    The macro statistics released last week did not add clarity. The preliminary Services PMI in the UK decreased from 55.0 to 52.9 points in May, against expectations of 54.7. And although in the manufacturing sector, this figure increased from 49.1 to 51.3, the Composite PMI stood at 52.8, below both the previous value of 54.1 and market expectations of 54.0.   As the latest data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed, published on Friday, 24 May, retail sales in the country fell by -2.3% (m/m) in April, against a forecast of -0.4% and a result of -0.2% in March. The annual retail sales volume decreased by -2.7% compared to the previous result of -0.4%, and core retail sales fell by -3.0% (y/y) against 0% a month earlier, with all figures significantly below forecasts.   In such a situation, experts' opinions regarding the timing of the Bank of England's (BoE) rate cut also do not provide clear guidance. Analysts at JP Morgan (JPM) stick to their previous forecast of a rate cut in August but are cautious, citing still high consumer price inflation (CPI). "We adhere to our forecast [...] but believe that the risks have clearly shifted towards a later cut. Now it is a question of whether the Bank of England will be able to ease its policy at all this year." Strategists at Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, and HSBC have also shifted their rate cut forecasts, moving the date from June to August for now. But this is only "for now"...   The maximum of the past week for GBP/USD was recorded at 1.2760. According to economists from Singapore's United Overseas Bank (UOB), the pair's upward momentum has slowed, and the likelihood of the pound rising to 1.2800 is decreasing. UOB believes that in the next 1-3 weeks, the British currency will trade in the range of 1.2685 to 1.2755.   The week ended at 1.2737. The median forecast of analysts for the near future is as follows: 60% voted for the pair's movement to the south, 20% for the northern direction, and 20% preferred neutrality. As for technical analysis, all trend indicators and oscillators on D1 point north, but a third of the latter signal overbought conditions. In case of further decline, the pair will encounter support levels and zones at 1.2695, 1.2635, 1.2575-1.2600, 1.2540, 1.2445-1.2465, 1.2405, 1.2300-1.2330. In case of growth, the pair will meet resistance at levels 1.2760, 1.2800-1.2820, 1.2885-1.2900.   No significant economic data releases for the United Kingdom are scheduled for the coming week. However, it should be noted that Monday, 27 May, is a bank holiday in the UK.   USD/JPY: Calmness, Ladies and Gentlemen, Just Calmness!   For such a super-volatile pair as USD/JPY, the past week was surprisingly calm. There were no currency interventions, and verbal interventions were as usual – lots of words, little action. Thus, Japan's Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki once again expressed concern about rising prices caused by the weak national currency.   According to Suzuki, one of the main goals of monetary authorities is to achieve wage growth exceeding inflation. "On the other hand," the minister added, "if prices remain high, achieving this goal will be difficult." In general, as usual, the government is closely monitoring the situation, understanding that everything is complicated, and therefore ... will continue to monitor.   Based on this contemplative policy, despite the GDP decline in Q1, on Thursday, 23 May, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced that it left the issuance volumes of Japanese government bonds (JGB) at the previous level. According to BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda, "the economic outlook has not changed." The BoJ's view of the global economy has also not changed significantly. In general, calmness, ladies and gentlemen, just calmness!   Against this positive background, USD/JPY pair reacted only to the yield of US Treasury bonds and the dynamics of the Dollar Index (DXY). As a result, starting the five-day period around 155.70, it gradually moved up and ended it at 156.96. Analysts at United Overseas Bank (UOB) believe that given the weak upward pressure, the pair's growth in the next 1-3 weeks will be slow, and the barrier at 157.50 may prove to be a tough nut to crack. In their opinion, a price breakthrough above 157.00 is possible, but the pair is unlikely to consolidate above this level. The next resistance at 157.50 is unlikely to be threatened. UOB estimates that support is at 156.40, followed by 156.10. If USD/JPY falls below 155.60, it will indicate that the slight upward pressure has weakened, write the bank's economists.     Speaking of the average forecast, only 20% of analysts point south, 40% north, and another 40% east. Technical analysis tools are clearly devoid of such disagreements. Therefore, all 100% of trend indicators and oscillators on D1 point north, with 20% of the latter already in the overbought zone. It should be noted that while the green/north color of indicators regarding the British pound indicates its strengthening, in relation to the yen, it signals its weakening. Therefore, we advise paying attention to the GBP/JPY pair, whose dynamics have been very impressive lately.   The nearest support level is around 156.25, followed by zones and levels of 155.25-155.45, 154.60, 153.60-153.90, 153.00-153.15, 151.85-152.35, 150.80-151.00, 149.70-150.00, 148.40, 147.30-147.60, and 146.50. The nearest resistance is in the zone of 157.20, followed by 157.80-158.00, 158.45, 159.40, and 160.20-160.30.   From the events of the upcoming week, we recommend noting the speech of the Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda on Monday, 27 May, as well as the publication of consumer inflation (CPI) data in the Tokyo region on Friday, 31 May.   CRYPTOCURRENCIES: A Week Under the Ethereum Flag     In 2024, the crypto community began gradually forgetting the term "crypto winter." However, there was no talk of a "crypto spring" either. After the halving on 12 April, in the absence of a bull rally, small traders and speculators began selling off their coin reserves. According to The Block Research, the rate of opening new BTC wallets fell to a six-year low. However, the whales buying digital gold for the future prevented a complete collapse in prices. And finally, at the end of the calendar spring, it seems spring has come to the crypto market. And it was awakened by the Federal Reserve System (Fed) of the USA with its monetary policy. According to analysts, the surge in investments in digital assets was a response to the May consumer inflation (CPI) report in the US, which positively impacted the risk appetites of institutional investors.   According to CoinShares, investments in crypto funds increased by $932 million from 13 to 17 May, after an inflow of $130 million the previous week. For the first time, there was an inflow of $18 million into Grayscale's ETF. This sharp increase in BTC-ETF investments, the highest in the last nine weeks, triggered a sharp rise in bitcoin on 20-21 May, approaching $72,000 for the first time since 09 April.   After bitcoin rose above $71,000, its price updated historical highs in the local currencies of several Asian and South American countries. According to CoinMarketCap, in Japan, BTC reached a record level of 11.2 million yen at the start of trading on 21 May. This is the first case where the flagship asset's price exceeded 11 million yen. Digital gold prices also peaked in Argentina, where the leading cryptocurrency reached 63.8 million Argentine pesos, slightly above the maximum on 14 March.   In the Philippines, one bitcoin briefly rose to 4.18 million pesos, the highest since mid-March 2024. In several other countries, BTC prices also equalled or were very close to mid-March's maximum prices: in the UK, Australia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Egypt, Israel, Norway, India, South Korea, Taiwan, and Turkey.   However, the Fed and American macro statistics, having awakened the markets, also calmed them. After strong business activity data in the US, BTC/USD returned to the support zone of $67,000. Another (and probably the main) reason why bitcoin could not update its historical high was its main competitor, ethereum, which drew investors' attention. (More on this below).   QCP Capital expects bitcoin to reach $74,000 and update its ATH (All-Time High) in the coming months. According to the company's economists, institutional acceptance of cryptocurrency is accelerating, and improving conditions in the global economy create conditions for capital inflows into risky assets. The US presidential election, scheduled for 5 November 2024, is also starting to have a strong positive impact on the cryptocurrency market.   Cryptocurrency themes continue to strengthen in the pre-election rhetoric of candidates seeking to gain the votes of the crypto community, which, according to NYDIG, numbers more than 46 million citizens in the US, or 22% of the adult population. Haseeb Qureshi, Managing Partner of Dragonfly Capital, believes that in such a situation, the administration of President Joseph Biden will soon be forced to ease its policy regarding the digital asset industry. A complete turnaround is not to be expected, but a softening of the position will still occur, Qureshi said.   CNN has recently reported on upcoming debates between Biden and his competitor, Donald Trump. The incumbent president will have to answer a number of uncomfortable questions about the harsh policy towards the crypto industry, which led to the outflow of cryptocurrency capital, the closure of large companies, and high-profile lawsuits. From Donald Trump, who turned the topic of cryptocurrency into a weapon against his opponent, in addition to attacks for the current state of affairs, loud pre-election promises can be expected, which could lead to significant volatility in the crypto market. Possible participation of Elon Musk, who expressed willingness to become a moderator, and independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr., should enliven the debates, the first round of which is scheduled for 27 June, and the second for 10 September.   The main beneficiary of the past week was not bitcoin but ethereum. On Monday, 20 May, news reached the media that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) asked companies to update Form 19b-4 in applications for launching spot Ethereum ETFs in an accelerated manner. After these news, the financial agency Bloomberg immediately raised the chances of such funds being approved from 25% to 75%. Against this background, the leading altcoin quickly outpaced the flagship cryptocurrency in terms of growth rates.   The deadline for the first two applications from VanEck and Grayscale was Thursday, 23 May. Shortly before the X hour, ETH/USD reached $3,947, showing a growth of almost 30% in three days. According to Coinglass, the amount of liquidations and forced closures of short positions on crypto exchanges amounted to $340 million. A total of 78.8 thousand positions were liquidated, and the largest individual liquidation occurred on the HTX exchange for the ETH/USDT pair for $3.1 million.   The SEC did not disappoint expectations and on 23 May approved not two but a total of eight applications for the issuance of spot ETFs based on Ethereum and gave the go-ahead for trading and listing these funds on exchanges. According to Variant Investments Chief Legal Officer Jake Chervinsky, this step signals a "significant shift in US crypto policy, possibly more important than the ETFs themselves." This may also mean that recognizing ethereum as a commodity, the regulator will not categorize many other altcoins as securities. According to Rekt Capital, the market is already on the verge of an altcoin rally, the peak of which is expected in July.   Experts expect significant capital inflows after the listing of ETH-ETFs and believe that billions of dollars will be invested in derivatives in the first week after trading starts. Analysts from QCP Capital believe that the altcoin rate in the short term can rise to $4,000 and exceed $5,000 by the end of the year.   An even bolder forecast is given by Standard Chartered Bank economists. They expect capital inflows into such funds in the first year to range from $15 to $45 billion (2-9 million ETH). In this case, the fund's demand will lead to the asset's rate rising to $8,000 at a bitcoin rate of $150,000. Moreover, if market dynamics are positive, by 2025, the price of Ethereum will reach $14,000, and bitcoin's rate will increase to $200,000.   As of the evening of Friday, 24 May, BTC/USD is trading at $69,900, and ETH/USD at $3,735. The absence of an immediate pump and some drawdown of this pair on 23-24 May can be explained by the fact that everyone who wanted to has already managed to buy ethereums ahead of the SEC's historic decision. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization is $2.55 trillion ($2.42 trillion a week ago). The Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index (Crypto Fear & Greed Index) has not changed and remains in the Greed zone at 74 points.   And in conclusion of the review, forecasts from Artificial Intelligence. The latest version of GPT-4o from OpenAI believes that the price of bitcoin on 1 August 2024 will be in the range of $76,348 to $89,108 "considering current market factors and historical trends." GPT-4o's competitor, the anthropic AI model Claude 3 Opus, has formed an even more optimistic vision, designating the range between $105,072 and $167,808 by the indicated date.

    • Полиция Южной Кореи раскрыла крупную группу криптомошенников   Южнокорейские полицейские арестовали 19 человек, которые выступали участниками мошеннической группы, действующей в социальных сетях. По данным властей, задержанные управляли открытым чатом, через который обманули сотни криптовалютных инвесторов.   Изначально мошенники предлагали пользователям чата законные способы вложений в цифровые активы, используя их некоторые инвесторы даже смогли получить прибыль. Такие действия преступников должны были усыпить бдительность, чтобы в дальнейшем люди без раздумий инвестировали в незарегистрированные криптовалюты. Когда инвесторы поняли, что их обманули, они потребовали вернуть деньги, но мошенники к тому времени уже заблокировали доступ к чату.   В результате расследования правоохранители выяснили, что в сети мошенников попали 308 человек, которые в общей сложности лишились примерно $19 млн.   По данным полицейского управления Южной Кореи, ещё как минимум шесть преступников находятся на свободе, скрываясь в других странах. Интерпол уже получил «красные уведомления», предписывающие арестовать их. Все участники мошеннического чата были завербованы главарём, чьё имя пока не раскрывается. Он помогал им незаконно въезжать в страну, а затем забирал у этих людей паспорта и мобильные телефоны, чтобы принудить к сотрудничеству.

    • Даа, лучше поздно, чем никогда. Все таки будем вернуть свои ошибки, когда альты тоже будут расти. Но биткоин пока уверенно себя ведёт, я уверен что до конца года дойдет хотя бы до 90к. Эти альты меня так пугали, что с очень осторожностью покупаю их.

    • Времени это много не занимает, да и не сложно совсем. Предугадать что из этого выйдет в итоге сложно, но по крайней мере Blum вышли в финал 7-го сезона MVB от Binance Labs (писал об этом в стартовом посте), так что если выиграют и их выберут для инвестиций, то может "выстрелить" 👀
    • Да, тут не попробуешь - не узнаешь. 😎 Проект и правда выглядит неплохо, вполне может оказаться что-то стоящее. Пока идет только 2-ая неделя тестнета, впереди еще 6 - посмотрим что и как выйдет в итоге.

    • Основатель MicroStrategy Майкл Сэйлор изменил свое мнение в отношении биржевых фондов (ETF) на основе эфира, утверждая, что недавнее одобрение регулятором США является только хорошей новостью для биткойнов ( BTC ). «Хорошо ли это для Биткойна или нет? Да, я думаю, что это хорошо для Биткойна, на самом деле, я думаю, что это может быть лучше для Биткойна, потому что я думаю, что мы политически гораздо более влиятельны, поддерживаемые всей криптоиндустрией», — сказал Сэйлор подкастеру Биткойн Питеру МакКормаку в эпизоде шоу от 25 мая. Подкаст «Что сделал биткойн». «Это служит еще одной линией защиты Биткойна», — сказал он после новостей о том, что Комиссия по ценным бумагам и биржам США (SEC) одобрила листинг восьми спотовых ETF на их соответствующих биржах 23 мая. Сэйлор повторил, что это «ускорит институциональное внедрение», поскольку ранее настороженные инвесторы теперь признают криптовалюту законным классом активов . Кроме того, Сэйлор объяснил, что они будут распределять капитал между различными криптоактивами, но Биткойн по-прежнему будет получать большую часть выделенного капитала как «лидер» отрасли. «Я думаю, что основные инвесторы скажут: «О, теперь есть класс криптоактивов, возможно, мы выделим 5% или 10% этому классу криптоактивов, но Биткойн будет составлять 60% или 70% от этого», — заявил он. Майкл Сэйлор разговаривает с ведущим Питером МакКормаком в подкасте What Bitcoin Did. Источник: YouTube/Что сделал Биткойн Сэйлор признал, что его мнение изменилось в отношении спотовых ETF ETF, поскольку ранее у него сложилось впечатление, что вероятность одобрения SEC невелика. «Две недели назад мир выглядел так, будто Биткойн будет единственным активом, секьюритизированным и предлагаемым в качестве спотового ETF истеблишментом Уолл-стрит, и он будет распространяться как единственный законный криптоактив», — объяснил он.
