(2017) Bitburner Finds BTC "Motherlode" Wallets
A Series On Misinformation, Disinformation and Subterfuge
BTC, Bitcoin, was created and marketed to make something that has no inherent worth into something others thought did, so it could be abused.
Crypto is worthless. Really. Worthless.
The only thing that props it up are people’s faith that they can put in money and get MORE of it out at some other point.
That is one reason Bitcoin is dangerous, that people put money into it thinking that they wouldn’t lose big, or perhaps everything as the crypto whales who set up the scheme hold an unknown number of tokens able to manipulate the “market” dumping whenever it suits them. That is why Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are so fond of the economic weapon. That and it’s used to finance criminal enterprises as a means to launder and dodge legally required taxes.
Bitburner, an actual researcher not the fakes I typically showcase working for Yonder, found an amazingly large amount of BTC and wrote a thread on it.
Um.
The bigger wallet had received, if I am not misreading things, 115K tokens at one point, so billions in USD passing through from one individual.
Who was paid by the medium sized wallet according to Bitburner (a small amount)?
Stop AND Steal the 2020 Election organizer Ali Alexander, though I am not clear how much of a fraction did he get.
Here was the thread.
