THIS IS WHY YOU DON’T POST YOUR PRIVATE KEYS… EVER

“Okay, so remember how I mentioned I had one of those Casascius Bitcoin bars? Yeah, it’s a 100 BTC one, and I got it back in 2012 for like $500.

Now that it’s worth over $10 million, I knew I couldn’t keep just sitting on it. So, yeah… even though I was kinda unsure, I finally redeemed it today.” — John Galt

Somebody swept the wallet of $40,000 of Bitcoin Cash (BCH). That’s 0.4 BTC.

No biggie.

NEVER POST YOUR PRIVATE KEYS
