🪙 Reports suggest Venezuela may have accumulated a large “shadow” crypto reserve — potentially up to 600,000 BTC.

According to circulating claims, the regime sold around 73 tons of gold in 2018 and allegedly converted part of the proceeds into Bitcoin to avoid asset freezes by the U.S. Treasury.

👉 So far, this remains unconfirmed, but if true, it would rank among the largest state-level BTC holdings ever rumored.

☠️ In 2025, identity-impersonation crimes in the crypto industry surged by 1,400%, while average losses per victim rose by over 600%.

Attackers are posing as exchanges and well-known public figures, combining social engineering with technical exploits. The rise of AI has made these schemes far more convincing, scalable, and profitable.

👉 Security takeaway: If a message creates urgency, asks for private keys, or offers “exclusive recovery/support” — assume it’s a scam. Always verify through official channels.
