Why are major wallets waking up almost every month?
They get used as marketing like "Hey look, someone held for 15 years and made 315,000 times their investment!"
But it's becoming a bit too common. What is the real story?
It's not some guy getting out of prison. The recent wallet had BTC at 37 pennies. That wasn't some underground dollars changing hands.
No one held that long- that was at least 7-10 years they could have been living like a millionaire.
We don't think there is a quantum computer that could run the calculation, though that day approaches closer and we don't see all the developments. People think they would go after banks, but if you can only crack one code every 45 days, and the rule is if you have the key, you are the owner, then that's the best and least risky target out there.
Could early creators have envisioned all this and wanted to hold. I really doubt it, but maybe.
We probably will never know- but if it keeps happening on a fairly regular basis, something isn't quite right.

The Other Side of the Crypto Story
You see people flexing their 20x meme coin wins.
What you don’t see are the 99 others who bought the top and are now holding an illiquid bag.
You hear about the guy who made millions buying BTC in 2015.
You rarely hear about the person who bought in 2021, sold in panic in 2022, and never came back.
You see screenshots of $10 turning into $10,000.
But not the $10,000 turned into $10 because there was no liquidity, no exit and no plan.
Crypto is full of loud wins and silent losses.
The real edge isn’t hype, it’s discipline, patience and knowing when not to chase candles.
You are not late. You are not early. You are just here.
And that is already ahead of most.

The 180-Day Report Is Done: U.S. to Release Digital Asset Policy Framework on July 30th
https://redd.it/1m7hkpx
@r_cryptocurrency
on the market, I'm starting to see a number of big six and seven figure thefts attributed to Vanilla Drainer.
For example, last week a victim lost about 340K USD0++ in a similar way to the victim who lost 1.23M. The victim signed a malicious phishing transaction that drained his wallet of USD0++.
Here's the affected wallets:
* 0x4a5dBcb00AF4d925877d6441a972853Ae6828aa6 - 340K Victim
* 0x995991a66Dc9ab2D148323A6c80ec7bAce8D5dA1 - Vanilla Drainer Customer
* 0x3B1E4774A207e2653d0955ba1BC36E9AA7eD5f37 - Vanilla Drainer ADMIN
This victim and the 1.23M victim are connected through the same wallet drainer. There's countless other large thefts attributed to Vanilla Drainer and more to come, unfortunately.
Stay safe out there!

I get HODLING, but when do you take profits?
I HATE selling. I never sell. But I’m starting to think this isn’t the best way forward. Do you guys have any good tactics or rule of thumb you go by to take profits ? I’ve been disciplined in buying dips, waiting years and repeating. But every bull run my account swells, I watch it swell, feel good about it, then watch it fall 30-50% over several years. Then rinse and repeat.
I’ve never sold before, but then I realized is it just because I don’t have a solid take profit strategy?
Looking for some advice. Thanks!

1.23M Stolen (Vanilla Drainer)
There's a new wallet drainer on the loose that's claiming a number of six and seven figure thefts of late. Lately, I've been investigating a number of drain thefts that appear to have commonalities.
Recently, a single victim lost over 1.23M in two Uniswap v3 Position NFTs. Wallet drains happen daily, but this one is unique as it's from a recently launched wallet drainer, Vanilla Drainer.
* **0x3Dc4b980FeF45ab22f8A55b025aE9D19001d97b3 - 1.23M Scammer**
* **0x0000093161E379aEBCf40E7aCfd387Edb3000000 - Malicious Drainer Contract**
* **0x40055A8B7aC86ad8d56A5e7bab79984DB581dA4b - 1.23M VICTIM**
In this instance, a malicious contract was signed that allowed the attacker full access to the victim's Uniswap v3 Positions.
Once the victim gave approval, the assets were transferred to the Malicious Contract then a wallet owned by the scammer - 0x3Dc4b980FeF45ab22f8A55b025aE9D19001d97b3.
Interestingly, all of the victim's funds are accounted for and are currently sitting in the scammer's wallet in DAI.
[Above is a post from Scam Sniffer outling the transaction that lead to the victim losing about 1.23M.](https://preview.redd.it/ult899oi8nef1.png?width=1078&format=png&auto=webp&s=28f44f28b2b2dfa1621bd4281d7ca6509c7560df)
New anti-phishing technology like Blockaid helps prevent these large 6 and 7 figure single victim drains that happened daily in 2023-2024. However, the scammers are smart and adapt. I'm starting to see more large wallet drains from new sophisticated methods.
I looked at some of the transaction history of the Scammer Wallet d97b3 and noticed some interesting inflow from another scammer wallet - 0x9d38606C16E6C4F7B1ed4224eA5724FF5C6E710d (Etherscan gave it a label of Fake\_Phishing130777, a known phishing wallet). This wallet also appears to have significant assets, mostly in DAI. (At the time of this writing I'm showing close to 1.6M).
This wallet and others lead to a new drainer, Vanilla Drainer.
# What is Vanilla Drainer?
Vanilla Drainer appears to follow in the footsteps of Inferno/Angel Drainer. I'm seeing similarities between the two and many on-chain interactions between Inferno and Vanilla Drainer.
Vanilla may be a spin-off, a stripped down version of Inferno Drainer (thus the name Vanilla!), or it could be it's own separate entity. To attract more Customers, Vanilla Drainer appears to be taking 15% of the drained assets vs Inferno Drainer's 20%.
The main ENS wallet of Vanilla Drainer is:
0xbadC0dE628760964219B6b45eed756F6b5405026 with registered ENS addresses of vanilladrainer.eth and vanilla-drainer.eth
Both ENS addresses were registered on 4/10/25. I LOLed at the prefix for this wallet, 0xbad.
[Above is a posting, presumably from the operator of Vanilla Drainer, announcing the launch of Vanilla Drainer.](https://preview.redd.it/vkaxnojxonef1.png?width=1354&format=png&auto=webp&s=216bd176e8cda043f91ffa453e79a3527ca21ec9)
This post appears to be made in Dec of 2024. I'm showing on-chain txns of Vanilla Drainer related thefts going back to as early as Oct 2024.
# How does Vanilla Drainer Work?
Vanilla is one of many SaaS Platforms out there (Scams As a Service). The process is mostly automated with some initial setup work to register the domain, build the website, and promote in search engines & social media.
In many instances, fake websites around recently hyped token launches attract a lot of drainer activity. The user is tricked into approving token transactions that drain their wallet instead of receiving their rewards.
[Above is a simplified version of how Vanilla Drainer works with 100K USDC as an example. The assets are transferred to the contract and then distributed between the the Customer and Admin \(Vanilla Drainer\)](https://preview.redd.it/6pv4rgjuynef1.png?width=1564&format=png&auto=webp&s=d366e646fdd086665124f9e2ac8d1bc1da1eaab3)
Vanilla Drainer appears to be bypassing anti-phishing methods by deploying new phishing contracts at scale while simultaneously rotating fresh domains that host the malicious website.
