β Myth: Bitcoin has no intrinsic value
β
Reality: Bitcoinβs value comes from scarcity, security, and decentralization. With a fixed supply of 21 million, it canβt be inflated like fiat. Its network is secured by massive computing power, and it enables global transfers without middlemen.
Like gold, Bitcoinβs rarity and utility give it lasting worth. π

Bitcoin Horror Files - Hacked Computer, $8.5 Billion Gone π»π
By mid-2025, hackers stole $8.5 billion in cryptocurrency from personal wallet compromises β cases where they gained access to a userβs device and extracted private keys or wallet files.
These attacks made up over 23% of all stolen crypto funds on-chain, according to Chainalysis.
Once an attacker has an unencrypted wallet file, they can empty it instantly β no matter how strong the password is.
With Ginger Wallet π‘, your wallet file and private keys are fully encrypted and protected by 2FA π, so even if your computer is hacked, attackers canβt access your funds.

Bitcoin Horror Files - The Live-Stream Seed Phrase Leak π₯π±
In September 2023, Brazilian YouTuber Ivan Bianco was live-streaming about blockchain gaming when disaster struck.
While navigating his wallet on-screen, he accidentally displayed his seed phrase to thousands of viewers.

Some funds were later returned, but it was a harsh reminder: one slip can mean catastrophic losses in crypto.

π« Bitcoin Myths Busted π«
β Myth: Bitcoin is completely anonymous
β
Reality: Bitcoin is pseudonymous. Every transaction is permanently recorded on the public blockchain. While wallet addresses donβt show your name, they can still be connected to you through exchanges, IP addresses, or even spending habits.
The good news? You can boost your privacy. Use Tor to hide your connection, coinjoin to break transaction links, and avoid reusing the same addresses.
Bitcoin doesnβt give you anonymity by default β you have to claim it. π‘οΈ
#Bitcoin #Privacy #GingerWallet
π Ginger Unpacked 003: Tor π
Tor is built into Ginger Wallet for enhanced anonymity while using your wallet! π
π Tor routes all your communication through multiple nodes in its network, ensuring that your IP and activity remain hidden β both from the server and the outside world.
π¬ Whether you're sending Bitcoin, fetching blockchain data, or interacting with the server, Ginger Wallet ensures that your identity canβt be revealed by anyone.
π‘ With Tor enabled by default, Ginger Wallet keeps your privacy protected at all times.
Stay secure and private with Ginger Wallet. π‘οΈ
