Don't remind me again today

#加密领域市场回调 Recently, there has been a rather ridiculous case circulating in the crypto world - the leader of a scam gang in Cambodia was arrested, holding 130,000 Bitcoins, worth about 15 billion US dollars, yet the management of the Private Key was nothing short of catastrophic.



The situation is like this: This old guy's server from his early mining days was just left with wallet files gathering dust, without even basic cold storage. After the involvement of American law enforcement, the seizure process went smoothly, almost too good to be true—it's like the vault door was wide open, and the key was just hanging on the doorknob.

This matter gives ordinary coin holders a few reminders:

First, don't be overly anxious. The assets we have in hand are not enough to attract a national-level technical team to crack them. The real risks often come from phishing websites and the misuse of authorizations, which are basic vulnerabilities.

Second, when the assets increase, it’s time to use a hardware wallet. Don’t use "cloud backup" tricks to dig a pit for yourself over problems that can be solved with a few hundred bucks worth of equipment.

Thirdly, friends who play with DeFi should remember to regularly clean up contract authorizations. Many people are not even clear about which protocols they have authorized in MetaMask, which is the most common way to lose coins.

As for the quantum computing threat theory, when the entire network's cryptography collapses, traditional financial institutions will be the first to be unable to withstand it. At this stage, it is much more practical to focus on physical isolation of Private Keys than to worry about sci-fi scenarios. ()$DOGE

Laughing out loud, locked up BTC for over ten years, and the wallet was just left on the server to gather dust.
