This guy stole BILLIONS, lived like a king for 10 years and got caught because he transferred $800
Jimmy Zhong stole $3.4 billion in Bitcoin and hid it inside a popcorn tin. In 2012, a 22 year old college kid found a bug in the Silk Road's withdrawal system. Deposit 500 Bitcoin, click withdraw 5 times fast, get 2,500 back
The system just kept paying out. Fake accounts. Same trick. Over and over until 50,000 BTC was gone. He told his friends the coins came from mining in the early days. Nobody questioned it. Bought a lakehouse in Georgia and filled it with boats, jet skis, and a stripper pole. Private jets. Coke. Almost a decade living like a king and nobody could trace a single coin. Then someone broke into his house and stole 150 BTC. This man called the police on his own stolen Bitcoin. That police report connected him to the IRS. Then he moved $800 through an exchange that required ID. Blockchain analysts traced that $800 back to the original Silk Road wallets
When the feds raided his house they found a computer hidden inside a popcorn tin stuffed under blankets in a bathroom closet. That computer held $3.4 billion in Bitcoin. Under the concrete floor they found a buried safe with cash, gold bars, and physical Bitcoin from 2012. The sentence was ONLY 1 year and 1 day. $3.4 billion in a popcorn tin

Everyone knows about the 10,000 Bitcoin pizza but nobody talks about the other 150,000 BTC he wasted after
Before the famous pizza order, Laszlo Hanyecz invented GPU mining for Bitcoin. Which made it possible for him to mine thousands of BTC per day. Satoshi personally messaged him about it, and was worried it would break the network
Laszlo's response: "I feel like I crapped up your project". He kept buying strangers dinner in Bitcoin until he couldn't mine fast enough to keep up. His wallet has a total volume of 162,864 BTC. That's $10.7 BILLION in today's value and $20.3 BILLION at the peak price of Bitcoin. His balance now? 0.00018 BTC around $12. The guy who invented Bitcoin mining actually wasted BILLIONS
Probably the biggest fumble in the history of Bitcoin

Crazy moves on Bitcoin today.
Bitcoin dumped $2,800 from its daily high after the US strike on Iran, wiping $58 billion from its market cap.
Then BTC pumped $3,900 to $67k by day’s close, adding $78 billion back to its market cap.
$570 million liquidated in the last 24 hours.
After news of Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei's death, the market pumped because people are taking it as the end of the US-Iran war.
If this conflict shows signs of resolution before Monday's open, I think Bitcoin can hold its gains and move higher.
But if the bombing continues, the market will be pretty volatile.

Due to low energy costs in Iran, you can mine 1 Bitcoin for just $1,320 and sell it for $64,000.
