Bitcoin touches money, energy and freedom.

How much control over its future are we prepared to hand to governments, regulators and corporations?

Last week in Amsterdam I moderated three panels at Bitcoin for Corporations and Bitcoin Amsterdam on these ideas.

We discussed:

- post-MiCA clarity and what it means for innovation and adoption
- who controls the mining stack and how open source and home miners push back
- the energy double standard between Bitcoin mining and data centres

Grateful for the organisers, panellists and everyone who showed up.

I ❤️ Amsterdam.

Day 2 of Bitcoin Amsterdam 🇳🇱

Yes, this conference isn’t perfect.
Yes, we’d all prefer Bitcoin-only events.

And yet, this is where Bitcoiners meet, reconnect, make new connections and share ideas.

At the end of the day, most of us are here for the same reason: the revolution.

I've kept something fairly personal off social media for over a year now due to the sensitive nature of disgussing details, but after receiving an update from the Police this week, I feel it's time to share what happened and hopefully find some closure.

In September 2025, I was the victim of a cryptocurrency theft, losing approximately £60,000 bitcoin.

It was devastating. Years of saving, investing and building something for the future, gone. Beyond the financial loss, there's the anger, frustration and constant wondering whether those responsible will ever be caught.

Since then, UK Police have been investigating, and I want to share just how far they actually managed to get.

In the early stages, I was also fortunate enough to receive personal help from the developers behind Samourai Wallet, who assisted me in tracing the stolen Bitcoin through multiple wallets and transactions, identifying movements towards exchanges including Binance.

They gave their time and expertise to help someone who had just lost a substantial amount of money. Something I'll always be grateful for.

And there's a bitter irony in that, because those same developers have since been imprisoned in the United States. Personally, I believe their treatment and imprisonment were deeply unfair. Whatever people's views on the wider case, I experienced firsthand how valuable their technical knowledge was in helping a victim of theft.

Back to the investigation.

The stolen funds were rapidly moved through multiple cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance, before being routed through other services. Some ended up on a Russian-based exchange, while other funds passed through exchanges unwilling to cooperate with law enforcement.

Investigators managed to obtain account information from KuCoin and trace connections through multiple VPN providers, including one based in Latvia. With assistance from Latvian State Police, they followed the trail further, eventually reaching another dead end.

But there was a breakthrough.

By revisiting the original compromise of my email accounts, investigators uncovered a connection that had previously been inaccessible. Further enquiries revealed that whoever was behind the activity had occasionally connected without hiding behind a VPN or TOR.

That connection traced back to Moscow, Russia.

Unfortunately, that's effectively where the investigation has reached its limit. With Russian authorities unlikely to cooperate with UK law enforcement, there is currently no realistic avenue to pursue. One outstanding enquiry remains with Ukraine, but the prospects of recovering anything are incredibly slim.

I want to give genuine credit to the detective at my local Police force who pursued this. International enquiries, exchanges, VPN providers and months of painstaking investigation. It's easy to criticise the police, but someone genuinely put the work in here, and I'm grateful for that.

The hardest part isn't simply losing the money. It's knowing that someone, somewhere, has taken something you worked years to accumulate, and despite knowing considerably more about where the trail leads, there may never be any accountability.

I'm sharing this not for sympathy, but because it's been hanging over me and my family since September 2025. It's something I've carried quietly while continuing with work, family life and building @BTCProofofPlay

Bitcoin wasn't hacked. I was targeted, and my accounts were compromised. There's a distinction worth making, and a painful lesson about security, trust and how sophisticated these operations can be.

I'm not expecting the money back. Perhaps I've known that for some time.

But at least now I have some answers, even if they aren't the ones I'd hoped for.

Time to draw a line under it, take the lessons forward and keep building.

To the Samourai developers who helped me personally, and to the detective who spent over a year following the trail, thank you. Your efforts haven't gone unnoticed and my hope is that the devs are released and reunited with there families as soon as possible. Thank you.
