💥 The Biggest Losses in Crypto History Several major events have caused massive financial damage, shaken investor confidence, and reshaped the crypto landscape. Here are some of the most notable ones: 🔥 1. Mt. Gox Hack (2014) Loss: ~850,000 BTC (worth billions of dollars today) What happened? At the time, Mt. Gox was the largest Bitcoin exchange. It was hacked and eventually went bankrupt. Impact: A huge blow to trust in Bitcoin. Prices plummeted. 🔥 2. Terra / LUNA Collapse (2022) Loss: Be...

90% of “Flash Loan” attacks are not hacks in the technical sense, but rather actions carried out within the rules of the smart contract system itself. --- 📌 What does this mean? A flash loan allows users to borrow funds without collateral as long as the loan is borrowed and repaid within the same transaction block. The system prevents funds from being withdrawn before the transaction is completed. However, malicious actors can exploit this mechanism by manipulating price feeds or market dyna...

BTC vs ETH Inflation
Bitcoin (BTC)
Maximum supply: 21 million BTC
Current supply increase: Bitcoin block rewards (new BTC issuance) halve approximately every 4 years (“halving”)
Annual supply increase as of 2025: Around 1.7%
Inflation trend: Decreasing over time because block rewards diminish. By around 2140, all BTC will be mined, and inflation will approach 0%
Ethereum (ETH)
Maximum supply: Unlimited (theoretically no upper limit)
Supply increase: With Ethereum 2.0 and EIP-1559, a “burn mechanism” was introduced. Part of network fees is burned, meaning ETH supply can both decrease and increase
Annual supply increase as of 2025: Around 0–1% on average (depending on burn; some periods may even see negative inflation)
Inflation trend: ETH’s inflation is dynamic; sometimes very low or even negative
---
Annual inflation trends of BTC and ETH (2020–2025)
BTC (orange line): Inflation steadily decreases and is quite stable due to halvings
ETH (blue line): More variable due to the burn mechanism and network changes; in some years, it reaches lower inflation rates than BTC
Visually, ETH can even become deflationary at times.
