Imagine holding your $BTC for 8+ years... and then boom — someone steals it.
That’s exactly what just happened: a hacker siphoned off $330 million worth of Bitcoin from an ancient wallet that hadn’t moved since 2016. The coins were cold, untouched — then gone.
But here’s the twist: the thief started laundering the stash through Monero, causing XMR to spike over 50%.
Classic move: convert traceable BTC into privacy tokens before making the getaway. Old-school opsec, modern play.
It’s a reminder — in crypto, nothing is ever truly forgotten, and timing is everything. Stay sharp out there.
