Was the nicehash “hack” an INSIDE JOB?

in bitcoin •  7 years ago  (edited)

yeah. I feel Occam's Razor get's invoked on this one. I definitely can believe that it was an inside job in one form or another, but there's no solid proof. Having that many bitcoins in one central location like that can only be called one thing: a honey pot (as in: an enticing source of pleasure or reward). someone eyeing a score that big will make sure they have access, and wait until bitcoin is hitting a peak, then make their move. I'm guessing it's no coincidence the coins were nabbed now.

It's indeed incidents like these that go against the very fabric of what we try to build through bitcoin. We can only hope for justice and continued innovation. Although calling it an "inside job" is pure speculation at this point, so was calling JP Morgan an inside job in 2008.
