🥷 Arkham reveals the biggest Bitcoin theft in history

In a new report, Arkham confirms that 127,426 BTC ($3.5B at the time, ~$14.5B now) were stolen from Chinese mining pool LuBian in December 2020.

➡️ LuBian controlled ~6% of BTC hashrate in May 2020
➡️ Attack began Dec 28 — over 90% of pool funds drained
➡️ Dec 29: another $6M in BTC and USDT stolen from Omni wallet
➡️ Dec 31: remaining assets moved to cold wallets
➡️ LuBian sent 1,516 OP_RETURN messages to hacker addresses, asking for funds back
➡️ Messages cost 1.4 BTC — strong evidence they came from the real team
➡️ Arkham says the pool used a weak key generation algorithm vulnerable to brute-force attacks
➡️ 11,886 BTC were saved and remain untouched
➡️ Stolen BTC last moved in July 2024 (wallet consolidation only)

The LuBian hacker now ranks among the top 13 BTC holders globally — ahead of the Mt. Gox exploiter.

📉 Most altcoin losses start before the buy

What wrecks traders isn’t just bad timing — it’s false assumptions:

➡️ Thinking all coins will revisit ATH
➡️ Ignoring BTC underperformance
➡️ Forgetting that price = narrative, not fundamentals

The best altcoin trades are lonely and boring. Not popular and obvious.

✈️ You’re hoarding life like it’s a video game

Ever played an RPG and saved all the best gear “for later”?
Then finished the game using only basic stuff — while the legendary weapons just sat in your inventory?

That’s how many people live.
Saving money, energy, and time for a “one day” that never comes.


➡️ You already have what you need for 80% of your dream life
➡️ Most of it can fit into a long weekend
➡️ And no, your kids won’t care if you leave them a slightly smaller inheritance

But they’ll remember the night market in Bangkok.
The salt in the air off a Thai boat deck.
And the look in your eyes when you finally stopped postponing.

Buy the ticket. Don’t wait for permission.

💣 Using Hyperliquid liquidations to spot panic

Instead of watching the full order book, some traders now track liquidation clusters to catch sharp intraday moves.

➡️ Focus is on volume-based liquidations (not just price swings)
➡️ Small price drop + large liquidation = real panic trigger
➡️ Especially useful on low timeframes during fast unwinds

Cleaner signal, less noise — and a better way to see where pain is real.

🪙 How to actually understand altcoins

It’s not just about catching pumps — strong altcoin plays usually follow a few simple principles:

➡️ Watch BTC pairs, not just USD — if your alt underperforms majors, it's likely to keep underperforming
➡️ Momentum matters more than “undervaluation” — dips get eaten, not bought
➡️ Real catalysts come before price — narratives, tech shifts, etc.
➡️ Alts run in cycles — know when BTC is dominant and when rotation begins

Most alts underperform over time. Focus on the best ones, not the most hyped.

📈 BTC treasury: corporate growth cheat code

Call it dumb all you want — but companies with BTC treasuries are tapping into one of the most effective growth structures ever built.

Metaplanet went from $10M to $5B in 18 months. Just by switching models.

➡️Most companies never see that kind of market cap growth
➡️ And the kicker? It's backed by asset value — their BTC stack
➡️ BTC miners could’ve done the same, but stuck to bleeding margins
➡️ Coinbase is raising $2B in convertibles to maybe buy something that might generate ROI
➡️ Meanwhile, MSTR was literally engineered to outperform BTC long-term

COIN has been flat vs BTC since 2022. MSTR? Designed to beat BTC CAGR.

If you actually believe in Bitcoin, a BTC treasury isn’t a risk — it’s a structural edge.

🧠 Lessons that cost real money

Most traders don’t fail because they don’t know technicals.
They fail because they can’t manage themselves.


➡️ Emotions distort decision-making
➡️ Overconfidence always sneaks in after wins
➡️ Impatience turns setups into gambles

The edge isn’t just in the system. It’s in staying out of your own way.

As a cycle heads towards its climax, dial up the risk - but lower the stakes.

You want to be less exposed $ wise, but into higher beta assets.

This is a progressive process as we get closer and closer to a peak.

Most people f*ck this up.
