Somehow I don't buy Luke Dashjr's story. What is your opinion on the allegedly "stolen" Bitcoin?
Discussion
Weird vibes for sure.
Is he a cold storage influencer? 🤓
A Bitcoin core dev, doesn't know how to properly store his coins. Doesn't have over the top multisig setup. Doesn't at least have legit control over his coins and not just a few but 200.
And if it is legit, failed to follow the most basic principles of Bitcoin security (not referring to multisig and cold storage just basic custodial principles). And deserves to learn the lesson the hard way IMHO. He's a huge reason why there are so few wallets that have Paynyms BIP47 and other privacy features. He's an enemy of Bitcoin privacy. And it's apparent with his lack of understanding basic privacy principles.
Are we sure it’s a “hack”
Im about to get real tin foil hat
I think Luke did this so bitcoiners can think "if it can happen to luke it can happen to me" then hes gonna champion custodial solutions, to which he has a backdoor deal with one or many of them.
As I understood luke might be trying to say funds from his hot wallet and cold wallet were co-spent in the same txs. The question is that hackers tend to sweep ASAP, not take the time to construct a complicated signing tx from multiple priv keys. The chain seems to suggest to me that he's been using a hot wallet from his defunct mining pool to receive donations.
Lots of questions not answered.
It just pisses me off... Not only did we crowdfund him money last year for the dentist when he had so many coins, but I'm really pissed that he won't take responsibility and say "I stored them hot on a jerry-rigged cloud server."
Now every noob will wonder how they can safely store coins when Luke-Jr can't.
And don't forget all the FUD that is now being spread in the media…
yeah it's really strange
I’ve known luke for a while, he’s the biggest troll ever and I’m pretty sure he played all of bitcoin twitter…pretty brilliant if you ask me 🤣
Boat accident was to obvious. So he created a other story.
Me neither...Maybe it's someone with physical access.
