Tragic! Lost $91 million in one breath, Bitcoin whale was scammed by social engineering!
On August 19, a crypto big shot's wallet was emptied in minutes, with 783 BTC worth about $91 million evaporating in an instant! The key point is:
This is not a hacker breach, but scammers posing as officials, tricking the big players. Impersonating exchange and hardware wallet customer service, they tricked away the access credentials.
Immediately after the transfer, the funds flowed into a privacy wallet Wasabi, initiating CoinJoin mixing and laundering.
The funds have been completely muddled, and it’s basically impossible to recover them.
⚡ This is also one of the largest single Bitcoin losses caused by social engineering attacks in recent years! Why is it so scary?
The scammer is either a hacker gang or an experienced fraud group.

When we invested in $BIO at 0.1, many people were still waiting and watching. Now it's risen to 0.2, and this is just the first step in realizing its value. Psychological research shows that what humans fear most is not mistakes, but "missing out," and $BIO is quietly spreading this sense of missing out in the market.
Its value lies not only in its price, but in the underlying application scenarios of green asset tokenization and supply chain transparency. The goal of 0.8 isn't just wishful thinking, but an extension of the trend and a logical necessity. Sharing this information allows more people to see the unfolding story. The true winners are always those who understand it firsthand.

Last summer in a guesthouse in Dali, I met Old Chen, who was engaged in cross-border e-commerce. He was squatting in the yard smoking at midnight, with his phone screen lit up, displaying a transaction record from a public blockchain — a payment sent to Southeast Asia, stuck on the chain for three days with no movement; the customer had already sent an email to cancel the order. "It's not that I haven't thought about using traditional remittance," he extinguished his cigarette, "but with the fees and exchange rate losses, the profit is cut in half."
That night we talked a lot, from the 'decentralization' of blockchain to the 'bottlenecks' in practical applications. He said he had tried quite a few public chains, either the speed couldn't keep up or there were always issues during cross-chain transfers. "To put it bluntly, no matter how good the technology is, if it can't solve real problems, it's useless."
Coincidentally, a week later I saw Bitlayer in an industry report. Its main feature, 'Layer2 + cross-chain integration' mechanism, simply put, is that it can rely on the security of the underlying public chain, speed up through its own sharding technology, and seamlessly connect assets on different chains. What attracted me the most was its 'adaptive Gas fee model' — automatically adjusting transaction fees during peak periods, avoiding the 'sky-high congestion fees' that Old Chen encountered.
When I sent the report to Old Chen, he was worried about another order. With a trial-and-error mindset, he used Bitlayer to transfer a test payment, and from initiation to the other party's confirmation, it only took 47 seconds, with the fee converted to RMB being less than two yuan. "If this can be popularized, we in cross-border trade could at least earn five more points." His voice on the phone was filled with excitement. #Bitlayer
Later, Old Chen became a 'wild promoter' for Bitlayer, bringing together a dozen merchants in his circle to use it. Last month when I saw him, he said that cross-border transfers were basically arriving on the same day now, and the saved fees were enough to give the team two more bonuses. "Do you think this currency is valuable? I believe that technology that can solve real problems will eventually be recognized one day." @BitlayerLabs
In fact, the value of blockchain has always been hidden in these specific scenarios. Bitlayer has never shouted any slogans about 'disrupting the world', it just quietly speeds up the transfer process a little, reduces the fees a bit, allowing ordinary people like Old Chen to genuinely feel the convenience brought by technology. This kind of solidity may be more powerful than any gimmick.

$ChillBoss This wave really leaves me speechless in hindsight……
I noticed a few tokens being manipulated by some major addresses earlier, and I was originally thinking that if they really went for it, I would post a tweet.
But not long after, these three directly dumped, so I didn’t pay much attention, thinking I would just play around and not take it seriously.
Who would have thought that in the end, it really took off…… Sometimes seeing too clearly makes you miss the main upward trend.
