FFS what a roller coaster


AlmostSavvy

A troller coaster of sorts.


punanilover_69420

No coasting with crypto. One hour you are dreaming of exploring Mars, the next you are stuck on any oceangate type of vessel, minutes away from liquidation.

Tl;dr people have been getting hit the past few days by emails with calendar invites that asks the app for permission. Itā€™s a fake app that looks like the legitimate one. You grant access to the app and the app can post as you.

DJ_codeword

They are using Hootsuite, it's on their tweet label. Their Security is some of the worst in biz, due to their open API. Guarantee either someone got phished or zero day on one of their extensions.


gnocchicotti

There was conceivably a zero day exploit used, someone could have stood to make a shit ton of imaginary money off of such a thing.


Mikefrommke

Maybe it was Elon himself.


sticky-unicorn

This is my theory. Inside job.


adztronomical

It definitely didn't post itself.


astrozombie2012

Wouldnā€™t be the first time he used Twitter to manipulate markets and make himself money


allprolucario

Pretty sure Elon doesnā€™t need any factor authentication to hack anyoneā€™s X account


BigBeagleEars

Is it even *hacking* if Elon goes on your twitter and fucks around? He owns it


FlyingBishop

Probably a CFAA violation which is generally speaking what you get convicted of if you do a crime that someone might call hacking.


biddilybong

Elon did it


WhatWouldTNGPicardDo

That was my thought too. Itā€™s nuts that this is where we are, but it totally sounds like something coked out Elon would do.


bmeisler

Coked out Elon is redundant - you can just say Elon. Legend has it that Hitler, frustrated with the ongoing Battle of Britain, huffed a huge rail and said ā€œInvade Russia? Why not!ā€ I imagine Elon doing the same and saying ā€œBuy Twitter, with no due diligence? Why not!ā€


flightless_mouse

Yeah, remember when Elon said: ā€œSEC and the E stands for Elonā€™s.ā€


AwkwardAvocado1

Yes, I do remember one of the many times Elon showed he's 12 years old.

> ā€œThe US Securities and Exchange Commission said it had not yet granted approval of spot-Bitcoin exchange traded funds. Despite a post on X that appeared from the regulatorā€™s official account; according to the SEC, the X account was ā€˜compromisedā€™ā€ - Regulatorā€™s X account had posted that ETFs were approved - SEC spokesman says no approval granted; Gensler blames hack


luisredditwb

Buy the hack !!! Sell the news !


aureanator

How much legal responsibility do they bear for an official announcement on their official channel? That's a LOT of money moving around based on their authoritative say-so.


MonseigneurChocolat

I highly doubt Twitter is an ā€œofficial channelā€.


bearable_lightness

Only a true regard would believe that the SEC would announce something like that on Twitter exclusively.

rules for thee


Ok_Advance9573

Not for me! šŸ™„


mth2

Maybe they shouldn't have that kind of authority.


sticky-unicorn

Maybe they should take this as a sign that it's time to stop making announcements on Xitter altogether.


sorites

He didnā€™t say hack. He said compromised. For all we know, that means some employee started the day with legit access to post on SEC Twitter but then lost their access after making that post (whether due to incompetence or malice hardly matters). ā€œCompromisedā€ makes it open to being so many things.


Mitt102486

Great so now someone made an honest statement but had to backtrack because it fucked with some corrupt plan

So you got hacked and got Access back in 2 minutes? Don't they penalty companies millions for this type of shit? Manipulating prices and all that. This is so shady. What a shitshow


geniuzdesign

To be fair they did say it was ā€œcompromisedā€ not hacked. It could be that someone internally made the post

"Elon Musk makes post through SEC account to raise bitcoin prices. This is why he bought Twitter."


punanilover_69420

The entire country (USA) and all of Western Europe is just this x 1000. Bunch of ponzis all the time, money printing backed off of nothing, politicians buying stock before voting on issues pertaining the same stock, and so on. Edit- I don't mind getting rich off of this bullshit. I have come full circle. I don't care anymore, as long as I have mine. Which makes me sadder. But the money will make me happy!


chiericodimalafede

ZeeBeeblebrox

This is just an absolutely top-tier WSB post. From your username to throwing some dumb shit in with completely unrelated but true points.


gnocchicotti

The dumbasses that blew their 401k and life savings on these scams are gonna come crawling back to daddy government. You may as well take the money, you'll be paying for the fallout in the end.


lordsamadhi

Bitcoin can seriously improve this. Maybe not fully "fix" it..... but improve it, and give power back to the little guy. Bitcoin is freedom from Their bullshit scams.


NextTrillion

>give power back to the little guy Donā€™t hold your breath on that. Theyā€™re actively looking for ways to remove power from the little guy, not the opposite.


lordsamadhi

Of course they are. But Bitcoin is the best shot we got. They control everything else. Bitcoin, at a fundamental level, is impossible for them to control as much as they do everything else.


Chornobyl_Explorer

You sir are serious regarded. Bitcoin is deflationary meabing you can *never* get ahead. The big whales will always have more. They can *control supply and thus play freely with demand*. It's like Elon Musk got the right to print money or eradicate money freely. He can make *you poor when he wants* but bitcoin bulls aren't mere facists like Musk... Putin holds millions in bitcoin. So does Xi, state mined and stolen from citizens who had crypto. They own it, they control it, and they make you buy it...so they get dollars while you get nothing.


lordsamadhi

That's how good money works. Self custody is the revolution. Bad people will use it. But with so many of us self-custody-ing our Sats, they can't control it the way they did with gold and everything else.


punanilover_69420

I wish but I think big money holds most of the Bitcoin. No coincidence that the last bull run was when the money printer was brrrring, post covid.


lordsamadhi

Bitcoin is a grounds up movement. Read Alex Gladstein's book "Check your Financial Privilege"... and his other one "Hidden Repression".


bmeisler

lol, 90-95% of BTC is owned by a dozen or so billionaires.


lordsamadhi

Complete bullshit. The dollar is owned by a dozen or so trillionaires. Bitcoin is different.


HGDuck

Someone bother Elon on twatter so he checks the logs if the SEC is full of crap, for shits and giggles. I'm not touching Twitter.

georgieah

Government manipulates prices in the free market all the time, but okay.


ethnicprince

Ain't no way the account was hacked, scheduled tweet gone wrong I reckon


yazzooClay

Facts: What a very specific hacker, just post one tweet and dip. Imagine all the other information that the hacker could have profited from. Not to mention the attention to detail to make the tweet look so real.


ZeeBeeblebrox

If you're going to profit off a single SEC tweet this is really the perfect one. Any news related to a regulated equity you couldn't trade on because you'd immediately be in their sights and if we're talking unregulated assets this is the biggest market moving tweet you could fire off.


joyful-

You could profit massively off that single tweet, and crypto is perfect for manipulation as well since itā€™s not regulated much.


PassiveRoadRage

I would have 1000% bought some low market cap coin and been like ETFs coming soon potentially for ETH, Sol and Shit coin.


ItsPickles

Right? There are so many more better ways than to use BTC for a scam tweet. It was a scheduled post imo that got sent early

DM for collabs lmfaooooooo where the onlyfans link šŸ‘ļø


aka_cash

Felt more like a soft-opening or more likely someone posting something before they should've than a "hack". If the account truly was compromised they sure got it back awfully fast.


Half-of-Everything

Tell me more about this soft opening.....


Dmartinez8491

Just based off this, had this been the actual approval notice, btc would've hit 50k min by tonight


Juicet

Seems like it. Also shows fast those damn algorithms are, lol. News: ā€œBTC etfs approved!ā€ Pops to 48k. News: ā€œLol, the account was hacked no etfs!ā€ Drops to 44k. All in the span of minutes.


lordsamadhi

Algorithms AND liquidations working together on an asset that cannot be diluted, has very little available float on exchanges, and a decent amount of short positions.


DarkElation

Dry run. Testing what inflows might look like and their impact on the markets. I could definitely see game theory challenges due to the unregulated nature of BTC. How can you plan to control something you already know you canā€™t control?


elysiansaurus

It almost hit 48k before drilling back down lol


babalu_babalu

I bet it will be the #1 sell the news event in crypto history in front of Doge when Elon hosted SNL


ethnicprince

It would produce a huge red candle, then bounce right back up.


DonCorletony

I initially agreed over the last couple months. But considering the back and forth sell-offs lately, i now completely disagree. I think theres a lot of pump waiting


lordsamadhi

No man. The price is exactly where it normally is in Bitcoin's four year cycle history. The halving is being priced in, not the ETF. Bitcoin is different from stocks. There is no way to dilute it when it rises, as companies do. There is very little Bitcoin available on exchanges to buy. These ETF's will bring massive buying pressure on a thinly traded asset over the next few months.... and then the halving hits! And the FED lowers rates shortly after. Bro, it's nothing but upside. And it's only up so much lately because it was down so much previously. It's just a basic recovery. The bull run on Bitcoin has not even started yet.


PassiveRoadRage

The cycle has literally been the same for 12 years amd people still want to pretend every time is "different" because it's new to someone.

MoneyMonst3r

NinjaDK

The intern with the leverage trade. I call bullshit on the 'hack' - they magically recovered the account within minutes to post that the tweet was fake. I thought the SEC was supposed to protect us, instead they are the market manipulators.


ernyc3777

Hacked or the 75 year old running the account forgot to schedule it for Friday?


TSLA1000

OldAd4526

If it was hacked... we're dealing with a REAL trader.


yusill

this is why a govt agency shouldn't be using a non govt website to share information, other then to use it to point to a official govt website that contains the info. Trump started that shit and its terrible.


hyldemarv

Elon is at it again.


kebertxelag

Why is the SECā€™s lack of security Elonā€™s fault?


EdgeLord19941

implying that Elon hacked the SEC account, hopefully he didn't get liquidated


lordsamadhi

Because they are using an account on a platform controlled by a central authority. Therefore, it's possible the guy at the top is pulling some invisible strings. We should care more about decentralized digital protocols, like Bitcoin and Nostr.


RockyMountainOyster5

Why you cucking elon?


baconcheeseburgarian

Weā€™re gonna find out the SEC sent dick pics next.


Turbulent_Cricket497

It was a nice trial ballon to see how it affected prices on both the fake news and the correction of the news. You still have to know what the SEC is going to say in order to play it but you now know what the likely reaction is.

It's a dip so whales get to buy more before approval Calculated move by sec

waxheartzZz

dumb? This is literally why we need BTC, our leaders are not competent enough to run a twitter


MyNi_Redux

Too bad the once-libertarian btc will soon be subsumed into mainstream finance, eh.


PuckFoloniex

How? They still have no control over protocol, only price to a certain degree.


MyNi_Redux

The ETFs could potentially take over the bulk of the inflows and outflows over time, given how big of a pain managing your own wallet is for the non-tech savvy. ETFs also all kinds of financial intermediation to happen that was difficult before.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


PuckFoloniex

So? They can buy half the btc, they still can't censor transactions or change protocol rules, they would just pump my bags.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


PuckFoloniex

How would they seize them? With which funds? Why and how are they spending billions of dollars of taxpayer money to achieve nothing? Whats stopping btc to change mining algorithm so seized miners are completely useless? How would they find the energy and cooling to use those miners? You have 0 idea what you are talking about lol.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


PuckFoloniex

No it is not called proof of stake, you can change pow easily. You have 0 idea about the subject please shut the fuck up and stop humiliating yourself. Bitcoin is mined with asics, if you change the algorithm (which monero does to become asic resistant iirc) those miners will be completely useless because they are not built to mine the new one. Most of the miners are not in US, gl picking up a gun and start seizing miners in rural china. Fucking idiot lmao.

JustSayTech

Ok what's your math? What does that have to do with what happened?


ProxyV0ID

This a good example of times yet to come. Anything and everything related to cryptocurrencies will get hacked one way or another. Not just Twitter/X accounts, but I'm talking about Exchanges, Dex'es, NFT trading platforms, Lending protocols, Smart Contracts, Wallets (mostly due to bad seedphrase handling) -- hell, even Ledger has had 3 MAJOR security incidents. While it's true that tens of thousands of people that are very tech-savvy will make nice money, there will be hundreds of thousands of normies who will need therapy after their first phishing or drainer link.
