O Caso Bithumb – Quando a Confiança Quebra
ESCÂNDALO NA COREIA: BITHUMB REGISTROU "MOEDAS FANTASMA" – E O MERCADO NEM LIGOU 👻🇰🇷
Enquanto o The Economist destrincha o inverno global, a Coreia do Sul tem seu próprio inferno:
A Bithumb, uma das maiores corretoras do país, teria registrado em seus livros ativos que não existiam – as chamadas "moedas fantasma" .
Por que isso importa:
📉 Se fosse um banco, haveria auditoria, segregação de ativos, capital adicional
📉 No mercado cripto? Silêncio. E o silêncio corrói a confiança mais que qualquer notícia
"Blockchain é sobre verificação distribuída. Corretoras são sobre confiança. Quando a confiança quebra, o castelo desaba."
E você, ainda confia seu dinheiro em corretoras centralizadas?

finney se remexe na cova em ver que a sua criação que deveria ser uma "alternativa" aos que causaram a crise de 2008, esta sendo "manipulada" por "eles", apenas para especulação
Bithumb merampungkan insiden kesalahan sistem yang mengirim Bitcoin berlebih ke sejumlah pengguna. 99,7%-nya berhasil ditarik kembali langsung dari akun pada hari yang sama. Untuk 0,3% sisanya (setara 1.788 Bitcoin) yang telah terjual, Bithumb mengisi kekurangannya dengan dana perusahaan. Mereka tegaskan bahwa semua aset kripto di platform 100% didukung oleh simpanan mereka.
Sebagai kompensasi:
Pengguna yang online saat kejadian dapat 20,000 KRW (~$15).
Trader yang jual BTC saat harga buruk akan diganti penuh + tambahan 10%.
Bebas biaya trading untuk semua pasar selama 7 hari.
Insiden ini bukan peretasan dan tidak ada aset nasabah yang hilang. Bithumb klaim perdagangan sudah stabil dalam hitungan menit. Ini mengingatkan kita bahwa masalah operasional masih kerap terjadi di bursa terpusat, seperti yang pernah dialami Coinbase dan Binance di masa lalu.

On nous ment sur la limite de 21M BTC ??? 🤔
L'incident survenu chez Bithumb en février 2026 a fait l'effet d'une bombe : 620 000 BTC (soit environ 44 milliards de dollars) distribués par erreur à quelques centaines d'utilisateurs. Pour beaucoup, ce "bug" a soulevé une question existentielle : si une plateforme peut créer des centaines de milliers de Bitcoins d'un simple clic, la limite mythique des 21 millions est-elle une illusion ?
• Sur l'échange (Off-chain) : Ce que vous voyez sur votre écran Bithumb ou Binance n'est qu'une ligne de code dans une base de données privée. L'échange vous "doit" du Bitcoin, mais il peut techniquement afficher ce qu'il veut (par erreur ou malveillance). C'est ce qu'on appelle le Bitcoin papier.
• Sur le réseau (On-chain) : La blockchain Bitcoin, elle, est restée totalement impassible. Aucun des 620 000 BTC "créés" par Bithumb n'a été validé par les mineurs ou les nœuds du réseau mondial. Pour le protocole, ces Bitcoins n'ont jamais existé.
Si l'incident n'a pas cassé le Bitcoin, il a failli casser Bithumb. Lorsque les utilisateurs ont commencé à vendre ces Bitcoins "gratuits", le prix sur la plateforme a chuté de 17 % car l'échange ne pouvait pas honorer la contrepartie financière.
Cela prouve une chose : si tous les détenteurs de Bitcoin sur les échanges demandaient leurs fonds en même temps (un "bank run"), on découvrirait peut-être que beaucoup d'autres plateformes pratiquent des réserves fractionnaires, créant ainsi une offre artificielle qui n'existe pas sur la blockchain.
CONCLUSION :
L'incident Bithumb ne remet pas en cause la rareté mathématique du Bitcoin, mais il souligne la fragilité des intermédiaires centralisés.
La limite des 21 millions est la règle d'or du protocole, mais elle ne s'applique qu'aux Bitcoins que vous détenez dans votre propre portefeuille (Cold wallet). Tant que vos jetons sont sur un échange, vous ne les possédez pas réellement , mais seulement une promesse de remboursement qui peut être victime d'une simple erreur de saisie.

$42 BILLION BLUNDER: HOW ONE EMPLOYEE ALMOST CRASHED BITHUMB! 🚨💀
Imagine trying to send someone $423 but accidentally hitting the "Bitcoin" button instead of "Cash" and sending them $42 BILLION instead. It sounds like a bad movie plot, but it just happened at Bithumb, South Korea’s second-largest crypto exchange.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? 📉
On February 6, a promotional event turned into the biggest financial disaster in crypto history. Bithumb was supposed to reward 695 users with 620,000 Korean Won ($423 each) as a prize.
But instead of selecting the local currency, a clueless employee selected Bitcoin. He sent 620,000 BTC to those users. To put that in perspective, that is roughly $42,000,000,000! One click, and the company’s entire treasury was basically handed out to strangers.
THE CHAOS THAT FOLLOWED 🏃♂️💨
The Reaction: 249 lucky (or unlucky) users opened their reward boxes and saw life-changing wealth.
The Escape: While Bithumb managed to claw back 99.7% of the funds, 86 users weren't waiting around. They sold 1,788 BTC or withdrew them before the exchange could hit the "undo" button.
The Debt: Now, $9 million worth of Bitcoin is still missing. Bithumb is desperately chasing these people down, one by one, demanding their money back.
THE CONSEQUENCES: PRISON OR POVERTY? 🏛️
This isn't just a "lucky win." The Governor of South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), Lee Bok-hyun, has called this a catastrophic failure of internal controls. Experts are warning that anyone who sold those Bitcoins could face criminal charges. Since crypto isn't fully protected under South Korean criminal law in this context, these users are in a massive legal gray area and could lose everything.
The Bottom Line: This is what happens when a multi-billion dollar exchange has the security of a lemonade stand. One human error, one wrong button, and billions vanish.
STAY SHARP. If an exchange sends you billions by mistake, don't celebrate—lawyers and hackers are already on your tail.
FOLLOW for the craziest market updates and whale-sized blunders.
What would YOU do if you woke up with 620,000 BTC? Let us know in the comments! 👇

🚨 ESCÂNDALO NA BITHUMB: O Erro de US$ 40 Bilhões que Abalou a Coreia
O mercado cripto acaba de presenciar um dos maiores erros operacionais da história. A Bithumb, segunda maior exchange da Coreia do Sul, transformou um brinde de US$ 1,38 em um depósito de 2.000 BTC por usuário.
📉 O Impacto Imediato
Diferente de um erro comum, este incidente gerou uma pressão de venda artificial massiva. Usuários liquidaram os fundos imediatamente, causando um "crash" localizado no preço do $BTC dentro da plataforma.
O que os profissionais estão observando:
Falta de Lastro: A exchange enviou 620.000 BTC que não existiam em seus livros. Isso expõe uma fragilidade crítica nos controles internos.
Risco Regulatório: A Coreia do Sul tem uma das legislações mais rígidas do mundo. O SSF (Serviço de Supervisão Financeira) já iniciou uma investigação que pode resultar em multas pesadas ou até suspensão de licenças.
Lição de Custódia: O evento reforça o ditado "Not your keys, not your crypto". Falhas em sistemas centralizados (CEX) ainda são o "calcanhar de Aquiles" do setor.
🔍 Minha Análise
Este não é um problema da rede Bitcoin, mas sim de gestão de risco institucional. O fato de parlamentares usarem o erro para classificar cripto como "ameaça à estabilidade" pode acelerar leis ainda mais severas na Ásia, impactando a liquidez global.
💬 Pergunta para a comunidade: Vocês acham que as exchanges centralizadas deveriam passar por auditorias de sistemas em tempo real para evitar esses "erros de estagiário"?

Bithumb’s $40B $BTC Blunder Sends Shockwaves Through Crypto Markets
Centralized exchange Bithumb accidentally credited users with ~$40 billion worth of Bitcoin due to a system/configuration error, triggering a sharp local price drop, a regulatory uproar, and renewed questions over exchange risk controls and crypto oversight.
What Actually Happened
In a routine “Random Box” promotional event, Bithumb intended to reward users with tiny Korean-won amounts (~₩2,000 ≈ $1.40), but due to a critical input/configuration error, the system erroneously credited accounts with $BTC instead of KRW — roughly 620,000 BTC in total (~$40 billion in implied value).
Because this was an internal ledger accounting mistake (not an on-chain issuance), the “ghost” bitcoins weren’t real on the blockchain — but they appeared in user balances.
Market Impact
The error lasted minutes before detection — during that window, recipients sold about 1,788 BTC, creating heavy sell pressure and pushing Bitcoin’s price on Bithumb down roughly 15–17% versus global levels. Trading and withdrawals were quickly frozen.
Bithumb has since recovered ~99.7% of the mis-credited bitcoins through internal ledger reversals and user cooperation, though roughly ~125–1,800 $BTC (≈$9M) remains unrecovered and will be covered by the exchange.
Regulatory & Industry Fallout
South Korean lawmakers and regulators have launched full investigations, with parliamentary hearings and potential regulatory tightening now high on the agenda.
The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) has openly criticized weak internal controls and is pushing for bank-level oversight standards in the crypto industry.
What It Means
Exchanges Aren’t Perfect: This incident highlights deep operational risk at centralized platforms where internal systems can “create” massive unintended balances.
Market Fragility: Even non-blockchain errors can produce real price moves when they trigger automated selling and panic.

🚨 BREAKING CRYPTO STORY — MASSIVE BITCOIN ERROR AT BITHUMB
🇰🇷 South Korea’s 2ndlargest exchange accidentally credited users with 620,000 BTC (~$40 bn) during a promotional event — far more than intended.
📍 The event (Feb 6, 2026):
• Bithumb meant to give users a small reward in Korean won (~₩2,000 ≈ $1.40).
• Instead, due to a clerical unit entry mistake, the system credited 620,000 BTC into hundreds of accounts.
⚠️ The error briefly allowed phantom Bitcoin 🔄 to appear on balances and even trade in the internal order book, causing a price slump of up to ~17 % on Bithumb before it froze trades and withdrawals.
📊 RECOVERY & IMPACT
✔ Bithumb recovered ~99.7 % of the 620,000 BTC after freezing accounts and reversing the credits — most of the phantom BTC disappeared from the system.
✔ About 1,788 BTC (~$125 M) were sold / withdrawn before the freeze, and roughly 125 BTC (~$9 M) remain unrecovered.
✔ Regulators view the incident as a systemic risk issue, leading to investigations and emergency hearings by South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service (FSS).
📌 Officials have said the glitch isn’t a hack — it was a human + system control error, exposing deep weaknesses in internal exchange accounting and verification processes.
📌 KEY TAKEAWAYS
• A simple data entry error turned into a ~$40 bn crypto mistake.
• Nearly all funds were recovered, but a small portion remains unrecovered.
• Regulators are holding hearings & probing exchange safeguards.
• The case highlights risks of internal controls on centralized platforms.
