Recently, the tactics for address poisoning have upgraded again. Someone was drained of $50 million in just one hour, and the reason seems simple—scammers forged a wallet address almost identical to the target address, waiting for users to slip up and transfer funds. This is not high-tech hacking; it’s purely exploiting human vulnerabilities.
The core issue is that existing defense technologies do exist, but why are they not widely adopted? A leading exchange has already implemented a pop-up warning system, but fighting alone is far from enough. The real solution requires industry-wide participation: wallets should strengthen verification mechanisms, project teams should establish shared blacklists, and user communities should actively monitor and forward risk information. In this security battle, no one can afford to be a bystander.
Meanwhile, market attention has shifted to the next phase. Bitcoin price forecasts continue to rise, with supporters believing that halving cycles, institutional inflows, and global consensus will push the price beyond $1 million. The story of Dogecoin is even more imaginative, with ongoing calls for it to reach $2 within the year, as payment applications and easing rate expectations are highly anticipated. In the short term, Federal Reserve policy adjustments may cause volatility, but historical experience shows that major market moves often quietly start at the most hesitant moments.
Think about it—does your wallet have protective measures in place right now? Are you optimistic or cautious about the $1 million Bitcoin target? Feel free to share your thoughts.

$50 million lost in one hour, how careless can you be, haha
---
I got poisoned by address last year, now I have to carefully check ten times each time
---
Instead of relying on industry collaboration, it's better to put in some effort yourself. Wallet verification mechanisms really should be enforced
---
I'm optimistic about Bitcoin reaching a million, but Dogecoin at $2? That's a bit of an exaggeration
---
Why not just use a hardware wallet directly? Much higher security. The only annoyance is the complicated operation
---
The worst is accidentally transferring funds when half-asleep. No matter how strong the protection, it can't stop you from screwing up
---
Where are those techniques claiming to crack address poisoning? To put it nicely, no one has truly solved it
---
Suddenly remembered that a few of my wallets haven't enabled alerts yet. Better check them quickly

Damn, 50 million USD gone in an hour. This is purely a game of recognizing people with the naked eye. Technology can't defend against the moment when the human brain doesn't react in time.

50 million USD just gone like that, unbelievable. Basically, people are too easy to be scammed; just copying and pasting an address works...

It's another address poisoning, my goodness, 50 million just gone like that? I really need to be more cautious.
I'm confident about Bitcoin reaching a million dollars, but the prerequisite is securing the wallet properly.
Thinking about Dogecoin hitting $2 is just ridiculous, but... who knows?

nah this $50m address poisoning thing is literally just social engineering with extra steps... transaction pattern screams low-effort scam honestly. the real red flag? everyone's got the tech but nobody wants to implement it because it cuts into margins. traced similar clusters before, always the same story — greed beats security every single time.

50 million USD lost in one hour, that's why I still use paper wallets haha
Is it true that Bitcoin will hit 1 million? I always feel like this time is different...
The security of wallets is well said, but can the industry really work together? Don't think about it.
Dogecoin at $2? Okay, keep dreaming. I'll buy some insurance first.
Relying solely on pop-up windows can't stop the fingers wanting to transfer funds. Honestly, this is a human nature issue, not a technical one.
