Binance CSO: Every day there are North Korean hackers disguising as job applicants, using voice changers, synthetic videos, and other AI technologies to forge identities
PANews August 13 news, Binance CSO (Chief Security Officer) Jimmy Su revealed that North Korean hackers disguise themselves as job seekers every day in an attempt to infiltrate the company, becoming one of the biggest threats in the cryptocurrency industry, especially the North Korean-linked Lazarus group. According to statistics, North Korean hackers stole $1.34 billion last year and have already stolen $1.6 billion this year. The hackers use AI technology to forge identities, tricking trust through voice changers and deepfake videos, and also attacking employee devices by polluting public code repositories and faking recruitment links.
Binance discards suspicious resumes every day, which often use specific templates, and applicants commonly use Japanese or Chinese surnames. With the development of AI technology, these hackers have now been able to disguise themselves as developers from Europe or the Middle East, using voice changers and deepfake technology during video interviews. However, their internet connections are often slow, which is a significant clue for identification. Additionally, Binance requires applicants to perform certain actions during interviews to break the forgery, but the specific methods are not disclosed.
As with my idea from last year, a large number of old BTC address formats are gradually being upgraded and sealed by proposals from the new generation. Only in this way can the market makers calculate how much BTC is truly circulating in the market, thus clarifying the chips on the entire gambling table. At the same time, it could trigger a sudden activation like the previous 80,000 BTC. If the new proposal is really implemented, the BTC in these old format addresses will indeed be permanently invalidated.

Bitcoin Faces 'Survival Threat', New Proposal Aims to Freeze Quantum-Vulnerable Bitcoins like Satoshi's
PANews July 16 news, according to Decrypt, Casa CTO Jameson Lopp, along with five developers, has proposed a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) aiming to phase out quantum-vulnerable address types in response to the unprecedented threat that quantum computers pose to the security of Bitcoin private keys. The proposal will prohibit transfers to high-risk addresses and prevent such Bitcoins from being spent over the next five years, affecting about 25% of existing Bitcoins, including the 1 million owned by Satoshi Nakamoto. The proposal also suggests future recovery of frozen assets through new BIPs. Research shows that if a quantum attack is successful, the entire Bitcoin ecosystem could face significant economic impact.
This time there will be, next time only half a tune will be sung, there will be other temporary replacements.

Bitcoin used to have a well-known 'four-year cycle': every four years, the production of new coins is halved. According to this pattern, prices would plummet before the halving and surge after. However, more and more people have recently discovered that this pattern may have become ineffective. In the initial surge in 2013, the price did rise due to the halving, which reduced the supply of new coins while increasing demand. But by 2017, the situation became complicated—although Bitcoin's price increase occurred after the halving, it coincided with the depreciation of the US dollar and fluctuations in US Treasury bonds, making it difficult to determine whether the halving was responsible or if it was due to the broader economic environment. By 2021, the relationship between Bitcoin's price increase and the halving was even less direct. Now, with the US government announcing its intention to include cryptocurrencies in national reserves, it is akin to an official recognition of their financial status. This means Bitcoin will increasingly resemble traditional assets like gold and stocks, with price fluctuations more influenced by global economic conditions and policy changes rather than a simple adjustment of production that occurs every four years. In short, Bitcoin has grown up and is starting to play the macroeconomic game alongside other financial giants.
I heard that PI is finally listed on the exchange X)
Hmm... Then what... ?
60,000,000 global fans.
About 10,000,000 accounts have been authenticated and migrated to the main network.
Then what?
If (¿only?) 10% of people want to cash out, there will only be 1,000,000 people who want to sell.
I saw many people who have mined PI and showed off that they have mined 5,000~6000 PI. It seems that they are very rich. . 😅
If (¿only?) an average person only sells 1,000 PI, it is normal to sell a little bit after playing for so many years, right?
Of course, the remaining PI should be kept, after all, 1PI is equal to 1BTC.
I'm just guessing, 1,000,000 people X 1000 PI = 1,000,000,000 PI (1 billion PI) will flow into the market in a short period of time.
The question is, who will buy and who will take over?
According to my ignorant observation, the only people who make money in the market are individuals and large institutions with BTC, and it happens that the most black PI is also this group of people, and those who are heavily invested in copycat memes have all lost half of their money. Again, who will take over?
Postscript:
The current market is in the most need of incremental funds, that is to say, after 20/2/2025, when there are uncles and aunts playing PI all over the world, there should be a considerable number of people who will automatically learn how to transfer money on the blockchain, which is a critical step.
This means that the elderly have the opportunity to see other altcoins and meme coins in major exchanges. At this time, the time is ripe. As long as the market makers, institutions, and whales continue to push the market up slowly, there will be a chance for the elderly to see the rising altcoin memes, tempting them to take out their pensions to chase the highs. . .
What kind of opening price would make you choose not to sell, but instead to invest more and increase your position? This question is also being asked by the other 60,000,000 people who are mining PI. Currently, in the market, only institutions hoarding Bitcoin and individuals with large positions are making money, so what kind of people are willing to take over and drive the price up to the sky? Think carefully before answering.

How is Pi? The data speaks for itself! The number of original Twitter followers has surpassed Ethereum
Titanium alloy bits, flowing memes. So, your uncle is still your uncle.
*Wait until the market falls enough *Wait until the big players have bought the mainstream coins enough *Wait until retail investors have almost finished chasing the rise and fall *Then it’s time to pull
The knockoff car is too heavy, the upper layer just needs to be washed first 🙂

How fragile is Bitcoin? Federal Reserve Chairman Powell said: "The Federal Reserve does not allow and does not intend to hold Bitcoin," causing Bitcoin to fall from grace to the ground in an instant, with blood flowing in the global market. Bitcoin's price plummeted directly, breaking the psychological barrier of $100,000, and the capital market was in wails. "Virtual currency," usually praised to the skies, but isn't it just living under someone else's roof? One sentence turned the "faith" into powder. “The East wind overwhelms the West wind”? With one sentence from the head of the Federal Reserve, Bitcoin's golden body collapsed directly. Old Powell's command was truly like a Christmas sale, forcibly giving players in the crypto world a "half-price" discount event. Is Bitcoin really that reliable? Its price fluctuations are faster than a diving athlete. "Floating wealth is like water; even if you fish it up, it’s still empty." These days, after buying a virtual currency, watching the numbers on the account soar. But in the end, overnight it returned to square one, waking up with nothing left. Isn't this just using your own money as fireworks? Powell's words revealed a clear sense of sobriety: "No need to revise the law." Isn't this just plainly telling everyone that the Federal Reserve doesn’t want to be the fool for Bitcoin? This "faith" was originally inflated by capital institutions, and players are just following the trend. But if you expect virtual currency to rely on the central bank, isn't that a joke? If this happened in other countries, if the central bank made a similar statement, wouldn’t the crypto world explode? Can the so-called "decentralization" and "faith support" really withstand the storms? If one day virtual currency completely exits the market, who will pay for these players? Netizens hotly discuss: ① "The value of Bitcoin is just a bubble; once pierced, it disappears." ② "Powell is too ruthless; one sentence made the crypto world suffer huge losses!" ③ "The Federal Reserve is not foolish; virtual currency is just a tool for harvesting leeks."#加密市场回调
