Good for them tbh

Anyone still into crypto in 2026 deserves it ¯\(ツ)/¯

Money is made up. It's only a problem when capitalism dictates who dies and who gets to eat. Either overthrow the gov and destroy capitalism or stop complaining about it when it works as intended.

The whole idea of crypto was to cut out the banks. So the idiots holding their assets on an exchange like Binance (or FTX if anyone remembers those thieves) are just that, idiots.

Does this mean monero will be going up? Should I buy some monero?

I don't believe ANYTHING our government says. How do we know trumPedo didn't give NK what they need so they could steal it and split it with him?

“This is almost certainly the largest theft of any kind in history,” said Tom Robinson, chief scientist at crypto consultancy Elliptic.

If it's North Korea, and if they get to make use of it, it'd be over 1/6th of their GDP, which is pretty bonkers.

There was that massive bank fraud case in Moldova a few years back.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Moldovan_bank_fraud_scandal

In 2014, $1 billion disappeared from three Moldovan banks: Banca de Economii, Unibank and Banca Socială.[3] This bank fraud was a coordinated effort involving all three banks working together to extract as much loan finance as possible from the banks without any obvious business rationale. Ilan Șor, a Moldovan businessman, together with Vladimir Plahotniuc and Serghei Iaralov "masterminded" the scam. Șor was chairman of the board at Banca de Economii (Savings Bank, BEM) up to 28 November 2014.[4]

Funds worth $1 billion were transferred to the United Kingdom and Hong Kong shell companies used to conceal the real owners of assets,[3][5] then deposited into Latvian bank accounts under the names of various foreigners.

The total loss from the scheme was equivalent to 12% of Moldova's GDP.[6]

A carousel borrowing scheme was applied, loans at one bank were paid off with loans from another. The massive expansion of bank lending was funded with heavy borrowing from Russian companies.

That'd be a larger relative impact than the bank fraud was on Moldova (albeit on the receiving side, not the stolen-from side).

Based + Juchepilled

They're going to cover $6.3b? They have enough cash or cryptocurrency on hand for that?

Also, what is NK even planning on doing with it? You can't eat it. Russia wants you to use rubles, China wants you to use RMB. If you trade it for regular currency, you'll be devaluing it. Is there some international black market that will take it?

so their going to feed their population with the money right?

Isn't it just safe to assume that anyone investing in crypto in 2026 that isn't laundering money, or up to some other criminal activity is about to lose their investment anyway. This is just stealing from other criminals.

How cool that the DPRK stole fake money.
