  • Hey Annie!

  • Have you heard about the biggest Bitcoin theft in history?

  • It's about a crypto trader named ALLINVAIN who lost $1.4 billion worth of BTC!

  • 
• Annie

  • Wow, that's insane!😲 How did it happen?

  
• 

  Joy

  • So, back in 2011, ALLINVAIN had mined a ton of Bitcoin—like 25,000 BTC!

  • But then, on June 13, 2011, he lost all of it due to a trojan virus disguised as Bitcoin mining software.

  • 

  • Can you believe it?😱

• Annie

  • That's unbelievable!

  • How much was Bitcoin worth back then?

  • Hold on! Behold, an advertisement awaits. Legend has it that clicking on this ad will make the AI server even smarter... 😅

  Joy

  • At that time, Bitcoin was barely $10, but it started to rise and hit $30.

  • So, he was one of the biggest crypto whales back then, worth around $500,000.

• Annie

  • And now it's worth $1.4 billion?

  • That's a huge loss!😲

  
• 

  Joy

  • Yeah, and if you think about today's Bitcoin price of $58,800, those 25,000 BTC would be worth $1.47 billion!

  • It's mind-blowing.💸

• Annie

  • How did this affect the crypto world back then?

  
• 

  Joy

  • It was a huge wake-up call!

  • The theft highlighted the need for better security measures in the crypto industry.

  • It led to the development of more secure crypto wallets and exchanges.

• Annie

  • So, did this incident help improve the security of crypto trading?

  
• 

  Joy

  • Absolutely!

  • It made people realize the importance of security in crypto trading.

  • But even today, crypto thefts are still a big issue.

  • Just look at the recent WazirX hack where $235 million was stolen from India's biggest crypto exchange.

• Annie

  • Wow, even now?

  • That's concerning.😟

  
• 

  Joy

  • Yeah, despite all the advancements, the industry still faces challenges.

  • But ALLINVAIN's story remains one of the biggest thefts in history.

  • Imagine, those stolen 25,000 BTC would be worth $14.7 billion today if Bitcoin hits its all-time high of $73,750!

• Annie

  • That's just crazy.

  • So, would you say this news is bad for the market?

  
• 

  Joy

  • Definitely.

  • It reminds everyone of the risks involved in crypto trading.

  • While it pushes for better security, it also makes people wary of investing.

  • So, it's kind of a double-edged sword.😕

• Annie

  • Thanks for the insight, Joy.

  • I'll definitely be more cautious with my investments now.👀

  
• 

  Joy

  • No problem, Annie!

  • Always good to stay informed.

  • Catch you later!👋

• Annie

  • Bye, Joy!
