🚨 *WHOOPS! The $150 Million Bitcoin Mistake!* 🚨

Ever had a "bad day at the office"? It’s probably nothing compared to the staff at the South Korean exchange Bithumb, who accidentally turned a small promotional event into a multi-billion dollar giveaway.

In this episode, we break down the ultimate "fat finger" error where staff reportedly entered "Bitcoin" instead of "Korean won" during a "Random Box" event. Instead of receiving a modest reward of 20,000 to 50,000 won, some lucky users suddenly found themselves holding at least 2,000 BTC—worth roughly 196 billion won per person at the time.

We’re diving deep into the market chaos that followed, including:
📉 *The Flash Crash:* How recipients selling their "free" coins caused Bitcoin to drop 10% below market levels on the Bithumb platform.
🌊 *The Domino Effect:* How this mistake collided with a broader market selloff that saw Bitcoin plunge to $60,000 and triggered over $1.1 billion in liquidations.
🛡️ *The Recovery:* Bithumb’s scramble to restrict accounts and their "domino liquidation prevention system" that tried to stop the bleeding.

Is your crypto safe when exchanges make operational blunders? We discuss the fallout of this developing story and what it means for the future of exchange security.
