gotta say, $5 wrench attack is straight up crazy. who needs that kinda stress in their life? just 'cause you can get some cash fast doesn't mean it's worth losin' control over your own assets think about all the ppl who got hacked cos they were too lazy to set up a decent security system
OMG I'm so down for a hardware wallet already! Like, I get the appeal of convenience with platforms like Coinbase or BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust, but at what cost? I mean, isn't that whole decentralized thing kinda the point of crypto in the first place? It's just not worth the risk to me. I'd rather have control over my own private keys than rely on some third-party custodian.
I don't usually comment but... this whole "$5 wrench attack" thing is wild . I mean, who knew being a delivery guy was so lucrative? It's crazy how these thieves are exploiting the anonymity of cryptocurrencies and using it to their advantage. And what really gets me is that some people might be tempted to hand over control of their assets just for the sake of security... isn't that like trading your freedom for convenience? I don't think anyone wants to give up that kind of autonomy, especially when Bitcoin's whole point was supposed to be about decentralization. But at the same time, I get why people might want to opt for a hassle-free experience over risking it all. It's a tricky balance to strike, and I'm curious to see how this plays out in the long run
