Was it an iceberg that sank the Titanic or the overconfidence of thinking ‘this ship is unsinkable’?

Anyway, Titanic is not our topic today.

Today we will take a closer look at one of the biggest Titanic disasters in cryptocurrency history.

On June 17th, 2016, one of the most significant hacks in cryptocurrency history took place.

3.6 million ETH was stolen from the Ethereum DAO.

At the time, 3.6 million ETH was equivalent to 70 million dollars, and the Ethereum price dropped from $20 to $13.

After the Ethereum network went through a hard fork, the stolen funds were returned to their owners.

However, this has raised concerns about whether Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) and cryptocurrencies are truly decentralized.

For this very reason, Apple has disabled the latest update of the Coinbase Wallet app.

And what about you,

How would you explain to Apple that because of the way NFTs and blockchains work, they can’t get commission on gas fees?
