$BTC Big pancake just broke 80k dollars, and the backyard caught fire?!

Everyone, BTC just surged above 80k and everyone was having a great time—then the Liquid Network was hacked. 4,000 BTC (320 million dollars) vanished instantly. Although the hacker claims to be a “white hat” trying to charge some protection money, in plain terms it’s like the vault was broken into. You think about it: in the first half of this year alone, the total amount stolen in the industry reached 972 million dollars. This security flaw is basically like a sieve with holes—every major exchange got scared and paused deposits and withdrawals.

But don’t panic—this big pancake’s price is genuinely tough. Riding on the rally in international oil prices and the geopolitical tension of Iran setting a restricted zone, BTC today directly broke above $80,000, soaring 24% over the past 30 days. What does that mean? In plain terms, macro funds really don’t care about these technical black swan events; instead, risk-off sentiment makes the big pancake even more desirable.
