PSA: this was posted yesterday by another user, but it was a mere Twitter link in Portuguese. I have dug into the story and translated everything to share here, so that we can understand what happened.

The influencer is Ivan Bianco, who has a channel in Portuguese about crypto. He was talking about his DeFi earnings. He was trying to access his Gala account (crypto-related gaming stuff). He wasn't with his phone and had to open a password file to actually make the login.

​

"Let me log in here folks, on the other screen so that I don't show my account details. [...] I'm not logged in and my smartphone isn't here with me now."

He then proceeds to open Windows explorer and drags the files for a second screen. However, when he opens a "back.txt" file, it appears on the shared screen and everyone could see it:

"Fuck, I screwed up big time! Will have to close the stream and I explain later on. I fucked up big, big time", he said immediately, closing the stream afterwards.

Someone was faster than him, though. A few hours later he did another stream, crying and stating that it was his lifesavings (around $50k USD) and that everything he has comes from DeFi.

"He stole everything man, the money of a lifetime. I can't believe I did this, that I screwed this up"

He then pledged the thief to give it back, because he wouldn't even have money to pay his bills because, again everything comes from DeFi. Apparently, the thief returned part of the funds, but I wasn't able to verify how much.

Well...

Don't store your seed phrase digitally. Ever.;

Even people who apparently know more than the average Joe can screw up big time;

TL;DR

Mate opened his seedphrase while live on YouTube, someone stole his wallet. Part of the funds were returned.

NOTE: Not a financial advice, just analyzing data. All of the data I have collected was from IntoTheBlock.As of today, ADA has a $ 8,598,092,384 market cap which puts it on #8 spot on CoinMarketCap.All time low is at $0.01735 while all time high is at $3.10 which makes a +16477% gain.Market cap through the years.There are in total 4,443 million addresses that hold ADA (we can't count all the cold wallet addresses, so the number is higher). But for the addresses that we can count here is the data:175.05k Addresses which is 3.94% are in PROFITS4.2m Addresses which is 94.52% are in a LOSS68.45k Addresses which is 1.54% are at BREAK EVENPie chart of addresses in profits, loss and break even.On the bottom graph, you can see the percentage of accounts in profit and in loss over time in correlation with the price. Naturally, at the start, the majority were in profit, and the same held true during the bull run. However, as the bull market came to an end, the numbers quickly shifted, leaving us where we are now, with only 3.94% of accounts in profit. We can also see less spikes up to 100% than in other alts such as MATIC (bottom graph, added graph for comparison).​Number of addresses in profits and loss through the years (ADA).Number of addresses in profits and loss through the years (MATIC).We can observe, that the number of accounts that have purchased ADA and still have it in their account, has been steadily increasing ever since the beginning of the bull run, and this trend continues even during the bear market. This may suggest that people are placing their hopes on ADA to perform well in the next bull market. (Please note that this is not a financial advice; I'm just analyzing the data.)Number of addresses with balance through the years.Continuing with a graph that shows how long has a token been held for on average. ADA has an average holding period of 10.5 months out of the 6.1 years the token has been in circulation, resulting in a ratio of 0.1438. This ratio appears relatively low when compared to other coins like MATIC, which boasts a ratio of 0.2444, and LINK, which has a ratio of 0.2131. (Note that a higher ratio indicates a longer average token holding period.)Average time token is heldThe following pie chart shows the concentration of Cardano. So, concentration is a helpful metric to estimate how decentralized/concentrated a crypto-asset is. In general, it is preferable for a crypto-asset to be held mostly by retail addresses as this points to a decentralized network with widespread adoption. Additionally, there are risks involved if a crypto-asset is highly concentrated among whales and investors addresses. We can see that ADA has really hit a very high number of retail volume and this is almost 69% (NICEEE), which is pretty impressive and it shows how decentralized should coins really be.ADA concentration of volume.As you can imagine, during the bear market, the number of Hodlers (addresses that have held the coin for 1+ year) has grown and has even overtaken the Cruisers (addresses that have held the coin for 1-12 months). This could also be interpreted as a sign that people are placing their hope in ADA for the next bull market.Number of Hodlers, Cruisers and Traders through the years.The next graph shows two categories: "All Time Highers," which are addresses with a balance that bought within 20% of the token's all-time high (ATH) price, and "All Time Lowers," which are addresses with a balance that bought within 20% of the token's all-time low (ATL) price.The latest data shows that there are 70k addresses that belong in the ATH category and 16,48k addresses that belong in the ATL category. Which is kind of a small gap compared to other coins. Other things look the same as in other coins; ATL peaked at the start and ATH peaked at bull run.Number of \"All Time Highers\" and \"All Time Lowers\" through the years.This is a table that show the distribution of the tokens:Distribution of the tokens.This is the end of my analysis hope you enjoyed and that it was somewhat useful.#Johnmiracleweb3 #crypto2023
