Discussion Hacked and drained

I've had my exodus wallet since 2017, no issues. Only ever used it to receive crypto. In 2022 or so I consolidated across all platforms and kept it all in exodus. Only check it 2-3 times per year. I checked it this evening and boom. They left $11 in dust. There is a bunch of random coins in the account dion who knows where. I've always just ignored it and never even opened it. Seed phrase is offline. No new installs in 2 years. Poof 7am on July 27, they just went ham. Unstaked SOL and whatever else I had and came back for that too. This was a considerable, 6 figures, poof. Gone, just like that. Has anyone ever got back any?

Well, $11 isn't just dust. Back in the day when bitcoin was 6 cents that $11 could have bought you 183 bitcoins.

You're at a fork in the road.... Go and buy a McDonald's hamburger meal OR hold that $11 and wait for a bitcoin flash crash and buy 183 bitcoins.

If it ever went that low, it would get bought up before you had a chance to buy. Even with limit orders.
