Have you heard of the bizarre stories in the world of cryptocurrencies? I'm sure you haven't! So let's explore them together:
John McAfee's Death:
John McAfee, the founder of antivirus software, was arrested for tax evasion and found dead by hanging in a Spanish prison cell. His lawyer, Javier, stated that he chose to end his life due to despair after being imprisoned for nine months. Allegedly, he complained to his wife about poor conditions and inadequate medical care in prison. Despite Spain's National Court approving his extradition to the U.S., he unexpectedly passed away.
Bitcoin Scam on Twitter:
India's Prime Minister Modi's Twitter account was hacked, claiming that India would adopt Bitcoin as the national currency in a cashless move. Users could supposedly receive 500 bitcoins by registering through a link. This wasn't the first incident; previously, his official Twitter account was compromised by a hacker group named John Wick, posting articles related to cryptocurrencies. Some speculate it was due to his plans to regulate cryptocurrency transactions.
Mysterious Organization "Uno Reversed":
The mysterious organization ConstitutionDAO raised a significant amount of Ether (10,728 ETH). Many donors, including 13% first-time Ethereum users, contributed. The initial plan was to create NFT fragments of a document, making contributors partial owners. However, the organization lost in a bidding war, and members couldn't retrieve their funds due to high gas fees, causing frustration among first-time Ethereum investors.
Elon Musk, Tesla, and Bitcoin:
Describing the cryptocurrency market in the past year as "skyrocketing," Elon Musk stands out. In March, he announced that Tesla would accept Bitcoin as payment for electric cars, triggering a frenzy among investors. However, two months later, he abandoned the plan due to environmental concerns related to mining, causing a widespread market downturn. Investors likely experienced emotions ranging from joy to disappointment, shock, and sadness.
Unsellable NFTs:
Tupac Shakur, a prominent figure in the rap world, had his photos auctioned as NFTs in November. Strangely, none of them sold after a week. Users speculated that the prices were too high. The journalist, lowering the original price from 25 ETH to 10 ETH, hoped for sales but remained unsuccessful. Whether it was due to high prices or a decline in Tupac's popularity remains uncertain. |
