💀 The Day Bitcoin Almost Died 💀
In 2014, one name controlled the crypto world: MT. Gox.
It handled 70% of all Bitcoin trades on Earth.
People trusted it.
People stored everything there.
Then one morning… withdrawals stopped.
Soon the truth came out:
👉 850,000 BTC were gone.
👉 Worth $450 million then.
👉 Worth tens of billions today.
The exchange collapsed.
Bitcoin crashed.
Fear spread everywhere.
The man in charge was Mark Karpelès.
He claimed the coins were stolen slowly over years.
Hack? Inside job? Negligence?
Even today… the full truth is unclear.
💔 People lost life savings.
💔 Early believers were wiped out.
💔 Bitcoin was declared “dead” by the media.
But here’s the twist:
Bitcoin survived.
MT. Gox did not.
⚠️ The lesson was written in blood:
> “Not your keys, not your coins.”
