Management wants to wait for maintenance and crohns data to maximize shareholder value
That’s my take
So they will hire a cco and raise post data on very good numbers .build a company to sell the product, I think price will be much higher post maintenance and post crohns

I am the Chief Operations Officer at Bithumb.
South Korea's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange.
On Thursday, we ran a promotional event.
A "lucky box" campaign.
Very popular in Korea.
Users complete tasks.
Users receive rewards.
Small rewards.
2,000 Korean Won.
That's $1.40 American.
Enough for a coffee.
Maybe a small one.
One of our employees made an error.
A small error.
In the dropdown menu.
He selected "BTC" instead of "KRW."
Bitcoin instead of Korean Won.
Same first letter.
Easy mistake.
Instead of 2,000 Won, we sent 2,000 Bitcoin.
Per user.
To 695 users.
2,000 Bitcoin is $142 million.
Per user.
We created $44 billion in Bitcoin.
From a dropdown menu.
Our actual reserves are 50,000 Bitcoin.
We distributed 620,000 Bitcoin.
12 times our reserves.
The math didn't work.
The system didn't care.
The system processed the request.
Very efficiently.
The users noticed.
Immediately.
They saw $142 million in their accounts.
Some of them tried to sell.
Quickly.
Very quickly.
500 Bitcoin hit our order books.
In minutes.
The price crashed 17%.
On our platform only.
Bitcoin dropped to $55,000 on Bithumb.
Bitcoin stayed at $66,000 everywhere else.
That's called a "reverse Kimchi premium."
Usually Korea pays more for Bitcoin.
Today Korea paid less.
Because we broke the market.
With a dropdown menu.
We froze the accounts.
Within 35 minutes.
Very fast response.
To our own mistake.
We recovered 99.7%.
That's almost everything.
The other 0.3% was withdrawn.
About $2.2 million.
Gone.
Before we noticed.
What we did.
To ourselves.
Someone asked if we were hacked.
We were not hacked.
Our security is excellent.
Our dropdown menus are less excellent.
Someone asked how this happened.
I said: "Human error."
The human is employed.
Still.
We're reviewing our processes.
The process was: select currency, enter amount, click send.
The employee selected the wrong currency.
Entered the right amount.
Clicked send.
The process worked perfectly.
The human didn't.
Our CEO released a statement.
"All assets are secure."
The assets were never insecure.
We just created 12 times more of them.
Temporarily.
For 35 minutes.
$44 billion in 35 minutes.
Created and recovered.
Very efficient.
The global market didn't notice.
Bitcoin stayed stable.
Only our users noticed.
695 of them.
Woke up millionaires.
For 35 minutes.
Then woke up with frozen accounts.
And a support ticket.
We're working with police.
On the $2.2 million.
That was withdrawn.
By users.
Who moved faster than us.
They saw $142 million.
They didn't ask questions.
They clicked "withdraw."
I would have too.
That's not our official position.
Our official position is: "We are cooperating with authorities."
Authorities want to know who got away.
With our mistake.
Someone asked if affected users will be compensated.
We're reviewing the situation.
"Reviewing" means deciding.
"Situation" means we gave away $44 billion.
And want it back.
Most of it came back.
Automatically.
Because it was phantom Bitcoin.
Not real Bitcoin.
Just numbers on a screen.
That people tried to sell.
For real money.
Some succeeded.
$2.2 million worth.
That's 0.005% of the accident.
Very contained.
Our stock dropped.
Briefly.
Then recovered.
Like the Bitcoin.
The market forgives.
Dropdown menus.
Someone asked what we learned.
I said: "We're implementing additional verification steps."
Additional means more than one.
We had one.
Now we'll have two.
Maybe three.
Before sending $44 billion.
Someone asked if this could happen again.
I said: "We take operational security extremely seriously."
Extremely is an adverb.
Adverbs describe how we do things.
Not whether we do them.
The lucky box promotion continues.
With enhanced controls.
The prizes are still small.
2,000 Won.
$1.40.
We double-checked the dropdown.
Three times.
Anyway, we remain committed to providing a secure trading experience!
The statement said so.

💥BREAKING:
Binance Founder CZ says a "super cycle is coming."
English
got a DM from a guy who said he made $1.2M trading last year
looked at his profile. 847 followers. no course. no discord. posts maybe twice a week.
thought it was cap
asked him to prove it
he sent broker statements. verified. real.
so I asked him one question: "what's your strategy?"
his answer changed how I think about trading forever.
"I trade one pattern. literally one. for 9 years."
"just one?"
"just one. bullish engulfing at daily support. that's it."
"you made $1.2M from bullish engulfings?"
"I made $1.2M from being the most patient motherfucker on planet earth."
he explained:
when he started, he was like everyone else. 47 indicators. 12 strategies. telegram signals. news trading. scalping. swing. everything.
blew $340k in 4 years.
his wife told him he was done. trading was over. get a real job.
"that's when I got serious."
he spent 6 months backtesting ONE setup. bullish engulfing at daily support. over 3 years of data. (i don't even know how the fuck support/resistance work lmao)
found it hit 61% of the time with average 2.8R when traded correctly.
"that was enough. I didn't need anything else."
now he wakes up. checks daily charts for 15 minutes. if the setup is there, he takes it. if not, he plays golf.
"some weeks I take zero trades."
"doesn't that drive you crazy?"
"it drove me crazy for the first 6 months. now I don't even think about it. no setup = no trade. the market owes me nothing."
I asked about his typical month:
- trades: 8-12
- winners: 5-7
- losers: 3-5
- average month: $70-120k
"you make six figures taking 10 trades a month?"
"bro most months I make more than I made the entire year when I was taking 10 trades a day."
this broke something in my brain.
we've been told MORE effort = MORE results
but trading is inverted
LESS effort = MORE results
because effort in trading usually means:
- more trades (more mistakes)
- more screen time (more emotional decisions)
- more analysis (more paralysis)
- more indicators (more confusion)
he told me his screen time went from 8 hours per day to 45 minutes per week.
his income went from -$80k/year to +$1.2M/year.
inverse correlation
I asked for his advice to new traders:
"pick one setup. test it. prove it works. then do ONLY that setup for 3 years. you'll be rich and everyone will think you're a genius. you're not. you're just patient."
before I ended the call:
"one more thing. everyone who tells you trading is hard is right. but not because the market is hard. because DOING NOTHING is hard. that's the actual skill. doing nothing while everyone else is busy losing money."
he hung up.
probably went to go do nothing.

🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪 U.S. THREATENS TO GRAB VENEZUELA’S BITCOIN VAULT USED TO DODGE SANCTIONS - 600,000 BTC
The U.S. is now eyeing Venezuela’s hidden crypto stash, yeah, the one they’ve allegedly been using to sell oil behind the world’s back and move cash through Bitcoin and Tether.
Rumors have surged that Venezuela may control an off-the-books Bitcoin reserve worth up to 600,000 BTC (today $55B), allegedly built through sanctions evasion, gold swaps, and oil deals that were converted into crypto.
If those holdings are real, they’d make Venezuela one of the largest Bitcoin holders on the planet, and a tempting target for U.S. authorities.
The government could seize that digital gold. We’re not talking pocket change. This is the vault Maduro’s regime built to survive inflation, sanctions, and being frozen out of banks.
If true, the U.S. could soon hold Venezuela’s crypto keys. Not frozen. Not blocked. Taken. And that move would tighten Bitcoin’s supply, possibly giving BTC a powerful pump. Ethereum and XRP might ride the wave too.
And Wall Street’s watching. Because if the feds take it but don’t sell it? Bitcoin could pump hard. Ethereum and XRP might ride the wave too.
This is about money, power, and global control: now playing out in crypto wallets.

🇺🇸🇻🇪 U.S. TO MEET WITH OIL GIANTS TO DISCUSS VENEZUELA ENERGY COMEBACK AFTER MADURO’S ARREST Sec. Wright is meeting this week with oil execs from Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and others to talk about restarting Venezuela’s energy sector now that Maduro is out of the way. The talks will happen at the Goldman Sachs Energy Conference in Miami, just days after Maduro was detained and flown to New York on narco-terror charges. Chevron is the last oil supermajor still standing in South America, and now the U.S. wants to open the floodgates. U.S. understand that today the power is reshaping in the Western Hemisphere. The world is shifting fast into zones of regional influence and the U.S. is securing the backyard, beyond remaining itself as a global power. Venezuela is energy-rich, strategically placed, and already crawling with Chinese and Russian interests. The U.S. achieved a high rank of energetic independence, but still knows it cannot afford to leave that space open for the other global powers. These meetings are about who owns the future of Latin America. Source: @financialjuice
