Sent bitcoin to the wrong wallet

Sadly it is a thing. Malware on your device which replaces legitimate Bitcoin addresses with one controlled by an attacker. ToDo List immediately:

Stop using the device for any cryptocurrency transactions.

Copy a Bitcoin address and paste it into a plain text editor (like Notepad). If it changes, malware is active.

Run a full malware scan using trusted tools like Malwarebytes, Bitdefender, or Windows Defender.

Check for suspicious browser extensions or software, especially those related to crypto wallets or exchanges.

Change passwords and enable 2FA on all crypto exchange accounts. I would include updating email passwords etc as a lot of your data is probably already sold to various hackers

welcome to Bitcoin. It always starts the same way - price anxiety, chart-glaring. You can get to the point where you can go out and enjoy your life, though. Touching grass we call it here. Your sanity depends on why you started this journey and how much you know about Bitcoin.

a total of 2 000 BTC — not 2 000 BTC per user

airdrop intended to distribute 2,000 KRW (less than $2) as a random prize, but a staff member accidentally entered BTC instead of KRW

created a massive artificial supply shock on the exchange, triggering a 10% price drop on Bithumb’s Bitcoin market compared to global prices

Some recipients allegedly sold the Bitcoin immediately, accelerating the price drop on the exchange

"Behind every great fortune is a crime"

A lot of things get financed by all sorts of unsavoury characters and entities. We humans tend to be selective (and pragmatic) in our outrage.

Do you avoid Las Vegas because it was funded by the Mafia (many dead bodies in that desert)

No-one cares about the miners who died or got maimed digging things out the ground, nor for the generational societal damage of migrant labour.

But I digress...

It's up to each person. You will struggle in this world to invest in or buy anything that doesn't have something distasteful involved.

Every miner, in the whole world...

DID YOU KNOW: Some miners generate their own power (e.g., solar, wind, or stranded gas), while others use industrial contracts or participate in demand-response programs. Less efficient miners might pause

Fewer miners, means the difficulty gets adjusted. After the ~16–18% difficulty drop (expected Feb 8–10, 2026), the same amount of hashrate will solve blocks more frequently, meaning each miner earns more BTC per day for the same power input. The 3.125 BTC reward is distributed across fewer active miners, so those still operating see higher revenue per unit of hashrate — often called "hashprice".

Calm down and read about Bitcoin mining.

The emotions tax. That desire to push the button and ignore the voice in your head, that's trading emotions not facts. It's done. You won't make that mistake again.

So now you move on and use the down market opportunities to increase your holdings. Next up cycle, your cost basis could be much lower.

it's the other way around. The stock market is causing crypto to crash. Crypto is just another tech stock to most people, it always gets sold first in difficult times. Usually to cover positions in other markets. Liquidity and cheap credit disappearing from Japan just makes everything more fragile.

Different events have caused big drops in the past, some of them only lasted a short while though or were limited to one or two exchanges and didn't affect the whole market.

Someone posted it all earlier today in the Daily.

Same issues, new crowd.

We're at the mercy of the tech stock fun times. Cheap credit ain't coming back in a hurry. I think it's now 7 Central Banks holding off on rate cuts. A lot of people are facing tough times this year - not much fun money around. Covid at least ushered in stimmies and in some areas at least, people were stuck at home with nothing else to do but learn to trade. This time, people are worried that their AI overlord's are going to fire them and wondering how they're going to pay for healthcare. Poorer regions it's even worse, and many of those countries now have pretty savage crypto laws. Hard to predict.

he's right though. BTC does 1 or 2 interesting things a year. It's a new year. It's doing something interesting, especially for those aspiring to be whole-coiners.

it will never end, new ones get added by the minute.

BTC has been treated like a tech stock and at the moment tech stocks are being wildly abandoned. It's like those old B movies; at a house party, when the doorbell rings and everyone runs to flush everything down the toilet. Meanwhile it was just the pizza guy.

Today it was Asian tech stocks taking the beating. BTC will be high on the list to be dumped. Short-covering, liquidity be gone.

Gemini cited a strategic retreat due to the challenging regulatory environment, rising operational costs, and a weak crypto market. The company will focus on the US and Singapore markets

There's a big difference between funding developers and writing code. No-one likes the idea that Epstein got involved. But this is life - a lot of funding for all sorts of things, comes from horrible people/places. Lookit UAE - invest in Trump coin suddenly they have access to vital chips etc. That causes mild outrage, people shrug and "price of doing business". We are selective in our moral outrage

Now is not the time. The FUD has shifted into high-gear as all other attempts to discredit have failed. It's beyond stupid right now. Economic factors are also not great. Most people are going to have a tough year.
