“Following the crypto-breadcrumbs, the FBI identified China-based money launderers — the type who regularly assist the North Koreans in ‘cashing out’ ransom payments into fiat currency,” said Monaco. “Additional blockchain analysis revealed that these same accounts contained other ransom payments. The FBI traced those to another medical provider in Colorado and potential overseas victims.”
If I move my craptos from a regular Coinbase account to a self-custody Coinbase wallet, will that insulate me from the possibility of a Coinbase bankruptcy?

I’m confused. Bitcoin isn’t quite trading at Riverman levels yet. What does the $99 refer too?
Tweet is from 9 years ago
So did WAPO cost him millions, or did it save him thousands because he had his money in one of the countless sites that were hacked over the years?
I wonder what % of under 10$ bitcoin buyers held all the way until 2020 bull run.
Maybe the whales like CZ and Sam Bankman.
I think even Satoshi dumped his coins? He told another developer in 2013 that he was moving on to other things and disappeared.
Awice held them all except for the multiple times where he’s flipped his position short at the high only to get long again at the next low.

I seriously doubt anyone for 2+2 has a billion or even hundreds of millions in BTC. My recollection from occasionally reading that thread is that most of the early advocates sold along the way.
Awice ran up his position using leverage in 2020 to $100M.
I think he got blown out in 2021 in the mini crash.
He admitted on twitter he lost 8 figures.
If you held bitcoins at $10 average cost and it runs up to $1000, if you had invested $100 000 at $10/coin, now you have $10M, I think 99% of people would sell at that point.
