I’m honestly devastated right now. Early this morning around 03:00, I saw that my Vantage Markets account was accessed without my permission, and when I woke up I saw that all my money was gone. This is what happened: Someone managed to log into my Vantage account while I was asleep. All my funds were withdrawn to this wallet: 0x4F9F5AE17A16A8b3205802790b550e6df2D53784 I’ve never added a crypto wallet, never deposited crypto, never withdrawn crypto. I only ever used Google Play withdrawals. I've never clicked any suspicious links and/or share my info What I’ve already done: Contacted Vantage support Changed all my passwords My questions: Has anyone experienced something similar with Vantage or any other broker? Did anyone ever get their money refunded after an unauthorized withdrawal? How should I approach Vantage to maximize the chance of getting my money back? Should I contact AFM / police / the fraud helpdesk right away? Will it help? I'm from the Netherlands. Any advice from people who’ve gone through something like this? This is a huge financial hit for me, and I’m trying to stay calm, but I’ve never dealt with anything like this before and I really need guidance. Sorry for the generated text. I’m in complete shock and have never experienced anything like this before :( submitted by /u/Kaliberrrr [link] [Kommentare]

Well, we already know that Bitcoin isn't 100% anonymous and can be traced. That’s why mixers were invented. Question #1: Do they still work? Are they safe and easy to use? Claude mentioned a few options: Wasabi, Sparrow, and JoinMarket. To get Wasabi working, you have to install it first... Question #2: Isn't Monero a better option? How do I trade Monero? Does it have to be via Bisq? Can that be installed on Tails? One thing that bothers me about the crypto world is that the "solutions" are usually pretty complicated for someone who isn't into security. My mind is 97% occupied with work stuff. I need no-brainer solutions: Receive Bitcoin > Send to a mixer > Retrieve the crypto Or Receive Bitcoin > Buy Monero > Buy Bitcoin > Retrieve crypto... If I have to install or configure complicated things, it immediately puts me off. It can't be things that require me to spend days studying and testing... submitted by /u/No-Price-33 [link] [Kommentare]
Many would have seen this many times over the years, but this is for those who haven't. If this relates to you just drop a comment lol submitted by /u/gh0stprotoco1x [link] [Kommentare]
> Article except. Throughout much of 2026, Strategy has relied heavily on the issuance of perpetual preferred shares like STRC to raise billions of dollars to fund the majority of its bitcoin purchases. But that doesn't come without cost. Those securities carry roughly $1.2 billion in annual dividend obligations, while the company's cash reserves have dipped to around $1.4 billion, according to CryptoQuant. This has created a negative feedback loop that has put pressure on STRC, which itself hit a fresh low of around $71.40 on Friday before recovering to close at $74.72. That's nearly 26% below its intended $100 par value. submitted by /u/zesushv [link] [Kommentare]
Here is a scammer based in india promising high returns by pretending to be an american. He promises high returns through pump and dump scheme and tries to assure you by sending links of various types of high value transactions he made on the blockchain. Keep reporting his account until he gets banned from reddit permanently. submitted by /u/dorkymammal [link] [Kommentare]
It seems all crypto going down and up at the same time, same rate and (not 100% accurate but) same percentage, so why does everyone say what they do? Like I hear all the time “XRP trash” and “solana is a glorified meme coin” and etc, just simplified examples. Like at this point does it matter ? It just seems everything follows bitcoin except meme coins submitted by /u/vajinasalad [link] [Kommentare]
I’ve been wondering if altcoins are ever going to recover like they have in previous cycles. It feels like they’ve struggled ever since Trump returned to office, despite many people expecting his administration to be more crypto-friendly. submitted by /u/k24ap [link] [Kommentare]
This monthly chart shows the 4 year cycle for btc and probably for most altcoins, resistance for top till now is a straight line, 2025 peak was perfect aligned with 2017/2021 peaks and surprisingly the support line is actually a curve going upward?, bottom points being 2018, 2022 and 2026 towards end of year. From chart a 30% drop may come with a solid floor of 40-45k$ (oct/nov). So a possible monthly bearflag may appear to mirror the bullflag. From resistance line the top for next cycle is 2029 with 180k$ and a possible drop to 70k$ in the upcoming year. Not sure how relevant this chart is but keep in mind this possible scenario:). Also dont know how AI bubble will affect the cycle. submitted by /u/JiZhangYue [link] [Kommentare]
My client needs to pay me but since i don't have paypal in my country, we're going with crypto. Does exchanges allow immediate withdrawal after buying the crypto? For context the account will have to be created first, and client can do kyc but i need the payment on the same day preferably. I heard there's a cooling period or withdrawal hold in most exchanges. The client is in germany. We both have no experience with crypto. submitted by /u/Intelligent_Arm_4220 [link] [Kommentare]
