Haha, so funny. Are there really people rushing to grab Bitcoin ATMs? How desperate must they be? --- Physical infrastructure has become so competitive, and now you also have to watch out for thieves. It's too difficult. --- Is this the security? If I were designing it, I would have added ten layers of protection. --- Another news story saying "security is very important," but how many organizations will actually make improvements? --- Robbing an ATM is not as good as just heading straight to the exchange. Is this guy serious? --- That's why I never trust physical nodes. Holding it myself is the safest. --- The problem isn't with the ATM; the problem is why are these things still being installed in public places?

Breaking into cars and robbing ATMs directly, these people are really something else, not even sparing the physical layer.

Who is this? Even daring to steal ATMs? Web3 has truly become a lawless zone.

This kind of thing is really incredible; physical infrastructure is just a sieve.

Oh my God, another ATM theft? Now it's even the physical layer being attacked... I told you, no matter how beautiful the on-chain data looks, it can't prevent real-world robberies. I should have expected this would happen. I warned everyone to pay more attention to wallet security before, but still a bunch of people were depositing coins into exchanges. Now look, who still dares to withdraw coins from ATMs... Wait, does this mean some whales are hoarding spot holdings? Look at today's K-line—no, don't look at the chart yet, I need to reflect on my own actions these past couple of days.
