According to ChainCatcher, as reported by Cryptonews, due to the increasing kidnapping threats faced by cryptocurrency holders, the Bitcoin investor family "Taihuttu family" has revealed that they have abandoned hardware wallets and instead dispersed their cryptocurrency mnemonic phrases across four continents.Taihuttu stated that over the past eight months, they have adopted a hybrid storage system: splitting the encrypted mnemonic phrases, with some engraved on fireproof steel plates hidden across four continents, while the rest is stored using blockchain-based encryption services. Even when threatened with a gun, he can only provide a limited amount of assets from his mobile wallet.This decision stems from the rise in physical attacks targeting cryptocurrency holders. Recently, Moroccan police arrested a suspect in the kidnapping of a cryptocurrency executive; the father of a cryptocurrency millionaire in France was brutally attacked; and a tourist in New York was kidnapped and tortured for two weeks, with the kidnappers attempting to obtain his Bitcoin credentials.Currently, approximately 65% of the Taihuttu family's crypto assets are stored in cold wallets across four continents, while the remainder is kept in multi-signature wallets or decentralized exchanges for trading and daily expenses.

ChainCatcher news, 1confirmation founder Nick Tomaino posted on the X platform that there is a huge difference between trustworthy neutral value storage and "company coins," and understanding this is key to becoming rich or poor in cryptocurrency.Company coins have a high internal ownership ratio, highly coordinated marketing narratives, and jurisdiction. Early purchases can make you a fortune, but you must time it right and sell before the market eventually ends. Value depends on revenue (just like a company), and the upside is limited. The hype is always intense, but there will always be new shiny targets worth chasing.Trustworthy neutral value storage means has a low internal ownership ratio, an effective global early distribution mechanism, decentralized marketing, and is not bound by jurisdiction. Value is based on belief, and there must be steadfast believers willing to hold the asset over any other asset in the world. Trustworthy neutral value storage is the most promising investment opportunity globally, with a potential market value exceeding $100 trillion. However, most people tend to dive in headfirst, over-investing in company coins while paying insufficient attention to trustworthy neutral value storage tools.

ChainCatcher news, 1confirmation founder Nick Tomaino posted on the X platform stating that if one truly believes that cryptocurrency is about empowering humanity, then one must believe that all those cryptocurrencies that allocate 50% of tokens to insiders for spreading rumors and dumping will ultimately trend towards zero, while credible neutral value stores like ETH may trend towards reaching $120 trillion.Nick Tomaino added that the original intention of cryptocurrency was to take control away from large financial institutions, but now those institutions are vigorously pushing up Bitcoin, indicating that Bitcoin may no longer be the people's currency.

ChainCatcher news, according to Nick Tomaino, founder of 1confirmation, who posted on the X platform, ETH is expected to surpass BTC, with its key advantage being a rich application ecosystem.He pointed out that while BTC is the first cryptocurrency, growing from zero to a market cap of over $2 trillion, it has now become an asset chosen by institutions and governments, with a single entity even holding over 2.5% of BTC.In contrast, ETH, as a trusted neutral and internet-native value store, has built a development platform that includes applications such as stablecoins, decentralized finance, NFTs, prediction markets, and decentralized social networks. He believes these application scenarios will bring crypto technology to billions of people, making ETH as a value store even scarcer.Finally, he stated: In the future, there will be many choices, but today there are only two viable options: BTC and ETH.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, U.S. Senator Rand Paul called yesterday for an audit of the Fort Knox gold reserves led by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to verify whether it actually holds 147.3 million ounces (4,600 tons) of gold from the U.S. Treasury, sparking a debate about the transparency of Bitcoin compared to traditional assets and financial trust.The Fort Knox gold has not been audited for 50 years since 1974, primarily because the U.S. government has refused external audits on the grounds of national security, while its gold reserves are seen as a symbol of national credit, and public audits could trigger market volatility and a crisis of trust. Bitcoin supporters, including Senator Cynthia Lummis, stated: "Bitcoin solves this problem. Bitcoin reserves can be audited at any time through basic computers, year-round." Unlike physical gold, which requires external audits, Bitcoin allows anyone to verify ownership, supply, and transactions through the blockchain.Riot's research director Pierre Rochard said: "Gold requires trust in the auditor, while Bitcoin allows anyone to be an auditor." Bitcoin cannot be forged, whereas gold can. Although the U.S. has the largest gold reserves in the world, incidents of fake gold bars have occurred in recent years. In 2019, the CEO of Swiss refinery Valcambi admitted that counterfeiting technology has become increasingly sophisticated, suggesting that thousands of fake gold bars may go undetected. In contrast, Bitcoin cannot be forged, with a fixed total supply of 21 million coins, and its smallest unit, "satoshi," can be tracked on-chain. Bitcoin advocate Max Kaiser wrote in 2018: "Bitcoin is the most perfect hard currency humanity has ever known. Holding Bitcoin is a declaration of liberation from tyranny and government intervention, achieving individual sovereignty."
