The way I read the article, the “worth millions” is the sum of the ransom demand.

The funny part is that the exploit is in the “smart” contract, ya know the thing that the blockchain keeps secure by forbidding any updates or patches.

    I think of it like timeshare values. They’re really high …. Until you try to find someone who will actually buy it

      The person talking out of their ass is voted up.

      The person bringing up facts is voted down.

      The person posting dismissive nonsense is voted up.

      Gross.

        The only person providing any sources here would put that $5.5b market cap (if it’s accurate) at 1/4 of what it was two years ago.

        That’s one hell of a crash and burn.

        What is a supposed fact without a source?

        I too can make up facts like that.
