The Neo & Bee case:
The Bitfinex case:
Tether is now admitting that they’re going to print Tethers out of thin air to buy bitcoin.
Tether freezes $225 million worth of stolen USDT after DOJ investigation
I personally don’t believe the “official” story that the “hacker couple” are the real “hackers” of Bitfinex. Is all obviously another scam trying to cover up the previous scam, with “Bitfinex was hacked”, so people will not look anymore into the Tether scam.
Just look at what the supposed hackers were doing…
The Quadriga CX case:
Chasing the Quadriga Conspiracy #3, with Jesse Powel (Kraken)
Chasing the Quadriga Conspiracy #4, with Jesse Powel (Kraken)

Is not a real “Bitcoin related” but it affect in some way the perception about Bitcoin. Bitcoin hodlers are NOT affected in any way by this scam.

The Coinbase case:
Here I posted on Stacker News a series of links with documents proving that Coinbase is the enemy of Bitcoin.
NEVER trust any of these online centralized exchanges.
Take self custody of your bitcoins, immediately after you acquire them on exchanges.
Use as much is possible decentralized exchanges, P2P and non-KYC. KYCnot.me
NEVER trust any stablecoin, token or any other shitcoin is offered in order to be able to “trade” on these exchanges. IS ALL A SCAM!
Use your bitcoins as money, all days, every fucking day. Only like that you will make Bitcoin “stable” in value.
Learn economy and how money works. Learn Austrian economics. Mises.org have a huge free library (audio and ebooks) that can teach you.
MAY THE ₿ITCOIN BE WITH YOU!
