5/11 - Here is the detail that decided everything. That API key in the leaked code was never rotated. Not after the first hack, not after the second. For months, anyone who read the code held a working key to the fund meant to make the victims whole.

6/11 - And real people were counting on that fund. One Bitcointalk user, DarkEmi, had deposited 5,000 BTC, most of his savings. Another had wired $38,626 saved over two years, verified his claim three times, and received nothing. They checked the forum every…

7/11 - On July 12, someone finally used the key. Within hours, roughly 40,000 BTC and $40,000 in cash drained out of the MtGox account, flowing through AurumXchange into Liberty Reserve, a digital currency the US government would shut down for money laundering…

8/11 - The next morning, developer genjix broke the news on Bitcointalk: Bitcoinica had been robbed a third time, and this time it was the victims' money. The thread is still there:

9/11 - Two weeks later, AurumXchange published its findings, and the story turned. The laundering account traced back to stevejobs807@gmail.com. @erikvoorhees recognized the address at once. He had corresponded with it for months. It belonged to Zhou Tong.

11/11 - Forum veterans were skeptical, but nothing was ever proven in court. In August 2012, Wendon Group was appointed receiver under New Zealand law. By 2014, fewer than 2% of Bitcoinica's customers had received any compensation at all.

🏆 The supply considered lost has just set a new record.

For this chart I considered all Bitcoin (UTXO) older than 10 years.
This represents around 3.54 million BTC lost or dormant.

Joinville vira laboratório biológico com a liberação de mosquitos infectados em 100% da área urbana. Entenda os bastidores que não te contam.

A Constituição de 1988 criou um cargo eletivo que nunca teve eleição. O juiz de paz, aquele que celebra casamentos, deveria ser escolhido pelo voto popular para mandato de quatro anos, está escrito no artigo 98. Trinta e oito anos depois, a lei que regulamentaria…

Vendeu o imóvel e quer abater da conta do imposto o valor da reforma que fez em 2003. Pode, desde que apresente as notas fiscais de 2003. Sem o papel de vinte anos atrás, a cozinha nova, o telhado trocado e a área construída não existem para a Receita, e…

The mempool is Bitcoin's waiting room. Knowing how to read it could save you serious sats — especially with BIP-110 on the horizon.

Today we break it all down live from El Zonte.

Keynesians claim that recessions occur because of a lack of consumer demand. However, demand comes from what we produce, so a growing economy needs more production.

Tesla is making a massive pivot at its historic Fremont factory, officially closing the chapter on its longest-running flagship vehicles to make way for Optimus

ETF de Bitcoin não é bitcoin.

É o pedágio que você paga para terceirizar a chave da sua soberania.

Two scenarios:

1.) BIP-110 buys us a year to find a permanent solution to Core’s repurposing for non-monetary ‘use cases’

2.) Core™ wins and an unprecedented deluge of network abuse and a fatal war on nodes ensues, destroying Bitcoin’s immune system.

Which…

Rooting for 5 corporate mining pools that answer to government subpoenas to kill #BIP110 is the most pathetic fiat-slavery mindset out there. Run a counter fork. Show us your node beats ours. Don't go crying to regulated pools who pick up when Elizabeth Warren…
