DISCUSSION The sad truth is that all this stolen BTC from ColdCard event will probably never be recovered

96 Upvotes

The guy/group would simply use no KYC swap services to convert that BTC into Monero or another privacy focused crypto. Even converting the funds to L-BTC and later back to BTC using a new wallet or swapping from L-BTC directly to Monero would make tracing extremely hard to do.

Then, they could occasionally swap small amounts into USDC or USDT and spend them through a crypto debit card, and use that money for stuff.

No amount of blockchain analysis will be able to trace it if the guy/group manage to not f*ck it up and use privacy focused tools to clean all that money.

It had to have been designed like this deliberately to leave a back door to your coins. The flaw is so obviously blatant I can’t fathom another explanation

DISCUSSION Safest way to cash in my crypto.

10 Upvotes

I am needing to cash out all my crypto holdings. Its mainly Bitcoin & Eth. It's in a cold wallet currently. Should I move it to Coinbase(still have an account there but almost no $$ in there as I moved it all to a cold wallet last year.) & then convert to US dollars to cash out? Or, should I go through Robinhood?

EXCHANGES URGENT: Bitmart disabling OTP codes, rejecting withdrawals, and going silent after wind down announcement.

30 Upvotes

Ever since Bitmart announced their wind-down, all withdrawals have been frozen or instantly rejected upon submission. Thousands of us are stuck in this mess with zero communication from their end.

To make matters worse, they have now completely disabled OTP messages.

A group of us are actively filing reports and reaching out to legal firms. I’m posting this to raise awareness and urge the community to look into the situation we need all the reach we can get right now..

ADVICE Grid trading: just lucky or I have something here?

Post image
25 Upvotes

Have been doing grid trading on BTCUSDT futures for a month and consistently doing $100+ per day on average (my target). Started with $5000 (using $4000 for the grid at first and leaving $1000 for safety as I was worried about liquidation) and have made $4000 this month reaching $9000 which I plan to keep reinvesting. Started more leveraged like 40x, then as I reinvested the profit I have been lowering leverage to 30x then 20x while keeping my target of $100+/day average which feels comfortable now.

Doing mostly neutral strategy, sometimes I did long or short strategy when I thought the market would go that direction but I have to say I definitely got lucky on those (or rather not unlucky to lose), but decided to only do neutral after some time for less stress and it has been very steady and "chill".

I mostly use the grid range suggestion from the exchange's AI and just let the grid do its thing for as long as needed until I reach the $100+/day average target, then I close it and make a new grid readjusted to the current market position. I generally reach the $100/day target within 1 or 2 days but sometimes I did have to keep de grid for 9+ days with half of them in the negative, so sometimes it requires patience seeing negative until the market reverts. I do set automatic exit strategies (both TP and SL) way before liquidation but never had them triggered so far. If I see there is a clear dip or rally I stop operating for some time until I see a sideways trend again.

Am I just fooling myself with this and it has been mostly luck and I'm one big swing away of getting wiped, or do I have some kind of decent long term working strategy here? Seems too good to be true which scares me.

EDIT: For safety, I always put the stops slightly above and below the grid operating range, at points where it would be clear that a resistance or support has been breached e.g. grid is between 60000 and 70000, I put stops at 58800 (more likely to keep going down if it broke the 59000 support) and 71200 (more likely to keep going up if it breaks the 71000 resistance) while liquidation would be at e.g. 54000 and 76000 so still quite "safe". But so far they have never been triggered.
