In this video, I discuss Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr's Bitcoin getting stolen.

This was not a Bitcoin hack or vulnerability. Rather, it appears that Luke was storing his Bitcoin private keys in some form of hot wallet, or with encrypted keys being held on a vulnerable server.

Large holdings of Bitcoin should always instead be held in cold storage, using either single sig or multi-sig.

Never let your private keys or recovery seed (12 or 24 words) touch the internet.

Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.
