THIS IS WHY YOU DONβT POST YOUR PRIVATE KEYSβ¦ EVER
βOkay, so remember how I mentioned I had one of those Casascius Bitcoin bars? Yeah, itβs a 100 BTC one, and I got it back in 2012 for like $500.
Now that itβs worth over $10 million, I knew I couldnβt keep just sitting on it. So, yeahβ¦ even though I was kinda unsure, I finally redeemed it today.β β John Galt
He posted the private key [π:SDzWY6Wmr875zLvUKnLTsQXjVzsDUJ] publicly online after redeeming the 100 BTC, but then remembered that the key also unlocked π the coins πͺ of every fork of Bitcoin since 2012.
Somebody swept the wallet of $40,000 of Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Thatβs 0.4 BTC.
No biggie.
NEVER POST YOUR PRIVATE KEYS
