🚨 THE ERROR OF 2,000 BITCOINS! What happened today at Bithumb?
Can you imagine waking up and seeing 2,000 $BTC extra in your wallet by "mistake"? 😱
This is not a drill. Today, the South Korean exchange Bithumb experienced a technical nightmare (and some users, the dream of their life... for a few minutes). During a promotional airdrop, instead of distributing 2,000 KRW (about $1.40 USD), the system mistakenly configured the unit in Bitcoin!
📉 The impact on the market:
Flash Crash: The price of BTC on Bithumb plummeted by 10% in seconds, reaching $56,000 while some lucky ones tried to cash out their "gift".
Frozen accounts: The exchange reacted quickly by blocking withdrawals to try to recover the funds sent by mistake.
💡 Lesson of the day:
In the crypto world, precision is EVERYTHING. A configuration error can move millions in seconds. Although most of the funds have already been restricted, this event will go down in history as one of the most expensive "fat fingers" in the industry.
💬 What would you do if you received 2,000 $BTC by mistake?
1. Would you try to sell immediately? 🏃💨
2. Would you report the error as a good crypto citizen? 😇
3. Would you stay in shock staring at the screen? 😳
