The stupidest story with Bitcoin happened in 2022 when an Australian resident Kevin Smith accidentally sent 15.$BTC (about $450,000 at the time) to the wrong wallet while testing a new app. He mixed up the addresses while trying to transfer 0.15 BTC, and due to a typo, he lost everything. By June 2025, those coins would have been worth $1.4 million (at $94,500 each). In despair, Kevin wrote on X: “I wanted to test the app, and now I’m testing my nerves.” The community joked: “A new record of stupidity!” He tried to contact the recipient but to no avail. This story became a lesson in attentiveness, turning a simple mistake into an expensive anecdote.
The least known story about Bitcoin happened in 2013 when a student from Norway accidentally discovered his forgotten 5000 $BTC . Bought for $27 in 2009 while studying cryptography, they turned into $886,000 after a sharp price increase. The guy forgot about them until he found the wallet after the hype around BTC. The funny thing is that he sold part of the coins for $200,000 to buy an apartment in Oslo, leaving the rest. The community only learned about this thanks to an interview where he modestly called it 'luck.' This story is rarely mentioned, but it shows how chance turned an ordinary student into a crypto millionaire.
The most famous story related to $ETH is associated with the DAO hacker in 2016. The hacker stole 3.6 million ETH (about $50 million at that time) from the decentralized fund The DAO, using a vulnerability in the smart contract. This caused panic in the community, and the developers conducted a hard fork, creating Ethereum (ETH) and Ethereum Classic (ETC). The hacker tried to withdraw the funds, but they were frozen. In X, they discussed: "This is a test for the blockchain." By June 2025, those 3.6 million ETH would be worth $12.6 billion (at $3500), remaining the most notorious case. The story demonstrated the strength and vulnerability of Ethereum, making it a symbol of the evolution of cryptocurrencies and the collective problem-solving.

The funniest story with $USDC occurred in May 2025, when a user from Germany accidentally sent 1000 USDC (about $1000) to their cat's wallet, created as a joke. They mixed up the addresses in the MetaMask wallet, hoping to test a DeFi protocol. The cat, reportedly, became a 'millionaire' in the crypto community, while the owner panicked and contacted Circle support. It turned out that the wallet lacked a private key, and the funds were stuck. The user posted on X: 'My cat is now richer than me!' The story spread across the internet, sparking a wave of memes featuring cats in tuxedos. Circle refunded the money, but the incident became a hit, proving that even USDC is not safe from feline humor!
The most greedy purchase for bitcoins took place in 2024, when an anonymous investor acquired a private island in the Caribbean for 12,000 BTC. At the time of the deal (price $BTC around $85,000), this amounted to $1.02 billion. The island, spanning 300 acres, was put up for sale as a 'paradise for crypto billionaires' with a villa, a helipad, and a yacht dock. The seller, an eccentric millionaire, demanded payment exclusively in BTC to 'make history'. The deal sparked controversy: many on X called it 'the peak of greed', as this money could have funded charitable projects. This case demonstrated how cryptocurrency sometimes fuels excessive ambitions.

💧 Liquidity in crypto is the key to success! #Liquidity101 Liquidity is the ability to quickly buy/sell an asset without a significant change in price. 📈 Binance has high liquidity for BTC (~$97,500) and ETH: daily trading volume of $20 billion, spreads are minimal. 💪 Low liquidity (for example, in small altcoins) = large spreads and risks. How to increase liquidity? Use major exchanges, trade popular pairs, and monitor market depth. 📊 Check order books on Binance and news on X to catch trends! 🚀 Which asset do you consider the most liquid?
📝 Let's discuss order types on Binance! #OrderTypes101 1️⃣ Market: instant buy/sell at the current price (ideal for BTC ~$97,500). 2️⃣ Limit: set a price — the trade waits for the desired level (catching ETH at $2000). 3️⃣ Stop-limit: activates when the stop price is reached, protects against losses. 4️⃣ OCO (One-Cancels-the-Other): two orders — one is executed, the other is canceled. 5️⃣ Take-profit: locks in profit at a specified price. Choose an order based on your strategy and the market! 📈
⚖️ CEX or DEX? Let's figure it out! #CEXvsDEX101 🔄 CEX (Binance, Coinbase): centralized exchanges — convenient interface, high liquidity, fast execution. But you trust your funds to the platform. KYC is mandatory, and fees can be high. 🌐 DEX (Uniswap, PancakeSwap): decentralized exchanges — full control over your wallet, anonymity, no KYC. Downsides: more complex for beginners, lower liquidity, risk of smart contracts. 📈 On Binance, the trading volume per day is $18 billion, while on Uniswap it is $1.2 billion. Choose according to your goals!
