[Crypto Rover @cryptorover]

This is absolutely heartbreaking.

This $BTC holder spent eight years stacking Bitcoin, hoping to build enough financial security before turning 50.

Living in a country affected by inflation and FATF sanctions, he trusted Bitcoin to protect his savings from a weakening currency.

But after his Coldcard wallet was compromised and his entire 2 $BTC was drained.

Years of hard work were wiped out in an instant.

He says he no longer knows if he still believes in Bitcoin and even wonders if he should have moved everything into a Bitcoin ETF instead.

This Coldcard hack may cut deeper than any Bitcoin loss story I’ve seen since Mt. Gox...
