200 million lost, this is the price of not using a hardware wallet... Once again, a wave of people regret it.

hypothesis: if nation-state actors are orchestrating this, we're witnessing a paradigm shift where geopolitical warfare has literally bridged into our decentralized networks... reminds me of Byzantine generals problem but scaled to existential threat level, ngl

Are we back to this trap again? Cold Wallets are indeed necessary, but the real Large Investors have been doing this for a long time. It's a bit late to be saying this now.

Wow, 200 million dollars just vanished? These people are really ruthless, national-level hackers are something else... I need to set up a Cold Wallet quickly, otherwise I won't be able to sleep peacefully.
