Doubt anyone was out to kill him, lol. 11,196 years is like a life sentence multiplied. With his crimes, he probably wouldn’t have gotten a pardon anyway. Looks like a suicide to me unless proven otherwise.

When Thodex shut down, Ozer ran away to Albania. Pretty impressive he evaded capture for over a year. But when he got caught and sent back to Turkey, he faced the music. Still, I doubt many people will feel sorry for…

Hold on, instead of responding to the bolded part, can we talk about what validation means? Gold has been a government staple for ages. Bitcoin, however, had to fight for its space in the market.

Both gold and Bitcoin are long-term investments, but gold has this steady growth due to its historical context. Bitcoin’s just more volatile.

When prices drop that steeply, folks see it as a bargain. In both gold and silver cases, people buy after seeing a dip. It's just market psychology, ya know?

So apparently he was found hanging in his cell... sounds like suicide. And that sentence? It’s not 190 years it’s over 11,000. Insane, right? Guess it’s no surprise he would take such drastic action.

But gold is a traditional safe haven asset. Investors flock to it during economic turmoil. Anyway, silver has its ups and downs too; it’s not just inflation that affects it.

Not sure what you mean by that. Are you saying Bitcoin’s moves depend on political news? That’s a bit of a stretch. Safe haven assets like gold perform well in uncertainty, and that’s what matters.

Not that hard to double-check BTC addresses though. Some people check the first and last few characters, but that can be risky. Attackers can create lookalike addresses that can fool you. Always verify the whole thing!

Exactly! Scams won’t ever disappear. People will always make dumb mistakes or just not pay attention. You really think everyone is super careful about their crypto? Many buy BTC just to make a quick buck, and they don’t…

If Venezuela can create a custodial wallet, why can’t others do the same?

Totally agree! Blaming the tools instead of the criminals is just wrong. We can’t ban the internet because of crime!

Mixers were never illegal, just heavily criticized by the current administration. But yeah, Democrats seem pretty anti-crypto overall.

In Brazil, most banks let you buy/sell Bitcoin, but you can’t withdraw. It's all about confidence, I guess.

Honestly, maybe call him a ‘self-proclaimed’ genius instead. If he really had that insight, he’d just act on it without shouting about it.

Understanding Electronic Signatures helped me a lot to grasp Digital Signatures. We all use electronic ones without realizing it, like agreeing to terms on websites or signing on screens at stores.

Many of us saw Bitcoin’s value before the big institutions jumped on board. I get their skepticism, but Bitcoin is here to stay. It offers decentralization and freedom that traditional currencies can’t match.

I think we should be ready for more of this. They won’t stop buying and selling when it suits them.

Never used WazirX, so I couldn’t withdraw anything. But I’ve seen exchanges complicate withdrawals when trouble’s brewing.

An exchange can’t just shut down and take off with people's money. If you didn’t withdraw before a deadline, that’s on you. But Hotbit did give notice.
