Not the first time the NSA was able to crack SHA-256. Remember they were able to unlock that iphone when Apple refused.
Then again it was the NSA that invented SHA-256, so they would be in the know

They unlocked the iPhone using a vulnerability that has since been patched and they paid for it

Am out of the loop, what happened?

FBI secured a bitcoin wallet that ransom was sent to recovering the ransom. Most likely by getting the private key

The problems stems from fiat at the moment. Too much printing of fiat (Euro, USD etc) has resulted in inflated prices of assets. This is naturally going to reduce the price of assets over the coming months and has already done so. Central banks have no tools left and if the USD loses its reserve status then cryptos are going to be in much bigger trouble.

I was hopeful by now we would have had some real use cases as a fiat replacement or at least a map of how DeFi integrates into the financial system but, at least to me, it feels as if we are still 5-10 years away from those real discussions.

Also, in the long run it's very difficult to see BitCoin and Ethereum maintaining this kind of growth when both are hugely flawed coins. Proof of stake will also fail miserably as a way of achieving consensus as votes can be used for both sides of a fork! The same arguments that are made about $hitCoins can easily be applied to the big two.

DeFi is only a year or two old basically, how could it not feel like it's at least a few years away from coming into its own

They didn't crack SHA-256. This was an extremely obvious and transparent false flag ransonware attack by the alphabet agencies.

I cracked a secure password once. I got high and remembered the password.

Did I mention the secure password was my own. :pac:

All the meme-coiners will be shaken out of the market and will probably jump back in when BTC goes to $100k. These folks are ridiculously easy to manipulate.

It's not very nice to mock people as their portfolios evaporate before their eyes and hopes and dreams are shattered.

If only they had a crypto coin for class.

It looks more like a death spiral to me, but I know very little about crypto lol.

I don't by green or red as that is only a sure way to not not the price of coins.
What looks green may be red and opposite.

One needs the know and following prices.

Isn't it always either green or red though, unless somehow stagnant for a while, which is unlikely to happen for more than seconds with crypto.

Unless you need to sell soon, you'll only wreck your head checking it constantly. At least the stock market closes for the weekend.

I'm now down 33% in my first little crypto portfolio. I was promised to be up at least 3,000% by now.

I shall continue to wait for the amazing recovery and will hand my notice into my boss in anticipation of riches.
