Whereas Jikh was just a sad-sack who picked the wrong horse.
It wasn't just ONE wrong horse. Jikh has an entire history of this.
People went ape-shit for BlockFi because he kept pimping them in promotions. They lost everything.
People went ape-shit for FTX when he kept promoting them too every silly video. Same outcome.
Every year he goes on about how Bitcoin will REALLY hit 100K this year. And then he apologizes for screwing that up the prior year, but will say, "I'm pretty sure this year is it!" LMAO
He pumped up so much NFT hype, again, that bubble popped...
He's got more people to buy stupidly over-inflated bubbles than anyone else probably on the platform. I just looked recently and I see he's got a NEW fly-by-night operation he's starting to pimp/pump all over again.
I wouldn't be surprised if Jikh was rated one of the most dangerous influencers out there. The reason is he does a quick little bit of research, then posts a bunch of stuff on the economy and the Fed in his videos. I'm not saying everything he posts is wrong, some of it can and is useful info for those who are not in the know. However, this is what adds some sense of influence/credibility/guru status to him and the retailer watching it just eats it all up and drinks the cool-aid of whatever item he's going to promote next.
Generally, everything he pushes never ends well... I wonder when he'll do a Tesla video again. LOL!
I suppose I will say one good thing about his videos. Back when he had the Doge Boy Meme guy on some of his vids, I don't remember Jikh recommending people do the same bat-shit crazy thing... So Jikh was actually right about SOMETHING. Even though it should have been common sense to 99.999999%.
Perhaps this is no surprise, the Doge-boy aint a multi-millionaire anymore. Easy come, easy go.
Jikh lose as much or more than most of his followers.
That's like saying we should feel sorry for O'Leary because he lost 15 million dollars in FTX fall-out, and this is far more than his actual followers. FTX actually GAVE him that money just for being the poster-boy for FTX.
That $ Jikh lost was actually FROM promoting FTX and the other failed investments he has pumped.
That would be true unless their wallets get pickpocketed.Yeah if only they had moved the crypto into their wallet. Not your wallet not your crypto!![]()
Crypto Wallet Bitkeep Points to Malicious APK Packages for $8M Exploit

Multi-chain crypto wallet BitKeep today reported a hacking incident that resulted in users losing roughly $8 million in various cryptocurrencies.
The project’s team said the preliminary investigation points to some APK package downloads that were hijacked and installed with malicious code injected by hackers.
APK, which stands for Android Package, is the file format that Android uses to distribute and install apps. Often available outside Google Play, APKs allow users to install apps on their Android phones from third-party sources, which, in turn, may result in higher security risks.
“If your funds are stolen, the application you download or update may be an unknown version (unofficial release version) hijacked,” the BitKeep team wrote in its official Telegram group.

BitKeep also advised those users who downloaded the APK version to transfer their funds to the wallet downloaded from App Store or Google Play. Ideally, users are asked to do this using a newly-created wallet address as the addresses created through the malicious APK may have been leaked to hackers.
$8 million reportedly drained from Bitkeep
Security company PeckShield has meanwhile estimated the total amount of stolen funds to be about $8 million in various digital assets.
Though some Twitter users are questioning this version of events, reporting instances of funds stolen from the officially downloaded wallets, the Singapore-based BitKeep has doubled down on its preliminary investigation.
“Today's theft incident is mainly due to the hijacking of 7.2.9 APK. If users are using the APK version, it is very likely that it is not the official version. So we have already let users transfer the funds to BitKeep Chrome plug-in wallet as soon as possible, or to the app downloaded from the official store, and create a new wallet address,” a Bitkeep spokesperson told Decrypt, adding that “there is no problem” with the app downloaded from the official App Store or Google Play.
In a separate report, security firm Hacken said approximately $6 million worth of crypto assets have been stolen, adding that “the attack is still ongoing and the attacker is directly transferring users assets to multiple addresses.”
According to Hacken, primary addresses with stolen funds have been identified as a Binance Smart Chain wallet and an Ethereum wallet, with the latter seeing two large outgoing transactions worth 709 Ethereum (about $865,000) and 504 Ethereum (about $615,000), respectively.
This is not the first hacking incident targeting BitKeep this year, with the wallet suffering an exploit in October that resulted in the loss of $1 million in Binance Coin (BNB) tokens.
Is there any body in this industry that isn't a scammer?That would be true unless their wallets get pickpocketed.
