🚨 South Korean Police Lost Bitcoin Seized in 2021
A shocking piece of information has just been revealed: South Korean police have lost Bitcoin seized in a case from 2021, even though the assets were reportedly stored in a cold wallet for security.
According to reports, this Bitcoin (#BTC) was seized by authorities during an investigation into crypto-related crimes. However, during the management and storage process, no one could access the wallet containing the BTC, leaving the assets virtually "stuck" permanently on the blockchain.
This once again highlights an interesting paradox in the crypto world:
• The blockchain is transparent and immutable.
• But private key management is entirely dependent on humans.
Simply losing your private key or misplacing your cold wallet device can turn your assets into a “locked treasure” that no one can unlock – not even law enforcement.
💡 This story also serves as an important reminder to the community:

• Self-custody provides control over your assets.
• But the responsibility for security rests entirely with you.
In crypto, not your keys, not your coins – but sometimes lost keys also mean lost coins.
What do you think about this case? Should government agencies implement more professional crypto asset management procedures in the future
