That’s heartbreaking.

I came across a wallet that had lost $3 million in a hack. The owner had just sent the hacker a message asking for a refund:

‘If you would consider returning 80% or even 50%, I’d be incredibly grateful, because this affects my retirement plans, my life, and my children’s future.’

Sigh. I can’t imagine how difficult life would be from here on out if that $3 million was everything they had.

In the AI era,
there are only two kinds of projects on-chain:
those that have already been hacked, and those that are being hacked right now.

So if you can keep your funds on an exchange, you might as well do that.
At least they can afford to reimburse you—or you have someone to hold accountable.
