User withdraw? No BECAUSE the amounts are lower than the quantity required for a Huobi withdraw (0.01 BTC) VERY VERY PROBABLY that 1LAnF8h3qMGx3TSwNUHVneBZUEpwE4gu3D OWNER is Huobi And seeing all transactions, probably all of them are being used to pay USDT fees (i didn't study this part but isn't relevant)

Then, if 1LAnF8h3qMGx3TSwNUHVneBZUEpwE4gu3D OWNER is Huobi, you can help me High probably that you know the 3Cbq7aT1tY8kMxWLbitaG7yT6bPbKChq64 OWNER , address which I mistakenly sent 1 BTC

Please, tell him that give me back my 1 BTC

See my transactions asking the 3CBq.. owner give my BTC back: https://www.blockchain.com/es/btc/tx/d60eed9b025f9c5d3fe3b168e2f64e0abcb880123c1c0a51290eaeddbd60b8d7https://www.blockchain.com/es/btc/tx/0015646c3df821b035a15837b26c65f458276c05128bbaeae3293284d178d14e

sending to 1SentYou1BtcP1sBackToMeP1sNznQ1zH(read the address) and to 3Cbq7aT1tY8kMxWLbitaG7yT6bPbKChq64 with the same addresses used to send 1 BTC to 3Cbq7aT1tY8kMxWLbitaG7yT6bPbKChq64

​

7 months talking with Huobi Customer Support (part 2)

After understanding this , they asked me my consent to pay a fee. I agreed. After they asked me sign a message with my privates keys. I did it. And finally they tell me "Wait". I'm waiting 7 months ago, all months I ask and they ever reply the same "We will contact you". Now they told me " Hello，sorry for the inconvenience, we feedback your problem to our technology department.  After a series of research and development, but it can not be solved.  Please understand this.  "

I want to think that the team is failing and Huobi isn't wanting steal my BTC. What they are doing maybe could be illegal. I'm thinking to talk with lawers on Singapore, I don't know what more to do.

I tried to contact the CEO Livio on Twitter ( https://twitter.com/livio\_huobi ) but they don't reply me! I want to think that someone else is administering their account.

Hi everyone, 30 months ago I sent mistakenly 1 BTC to the Huobi's cold wallet. Yes, I'm retard, I feel terrible.

Transaction:

https://www.blockchain.com/es/btc/tx/4769c93d8c9e0d5eaf8311ac8af513e23096ae461da0256a77cf70ca73fd4e4b

How I send mistakenly 1 BTC to the Huobi Cold Wallet?

A day I was watching a BTC rich list and exploring the addresses. I'm unsure how exactly it happens because I verified the address, but when I sent 1 BTC I did mistakenly to the wrong address!!! I verified that I was sending to the correct address, but I had to remake the sendship because the wallet crashed, probably there was the problem, the huobi's cold wallet address was in the clipboard. Anyways I don't have certainty how it happens.List: https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html

It was a mistake, I work often sending and receiving BTC. When you do a certain task all the days copying wrong data could be a TERRIBLE but EASY mistake to do, because we are humans and we fall in the trust. As you did a task correctly many many times you earn trust on yourself and try save time. If it didn't happens to you ever you aren't being honest.

​

7 months talking with Huobi Customer Support (part 1)

I tried to contact Huobi's customer support. First they first didn't understand me, thinking that I tried to deposit on Huobi and sent to a wrong address. After they understand they told me that the address doesn't belongs to Huobi and they can't help me. That is false, I did an investigation and they have direct relation with this address, they can help me. Read my following analysis please:

​

Huobi Ownership Analysis

Searching, sites says that the address belongs to Huobi Huobi support says that address doesn't belongs to Huobi

I don't know if belongs to Huobi or not, but I can deduct and track that the address is related with Huobi

Why? The address 3Cbq7aT1tY8kMxWLbitaG7yT6bPbKChq64 regulary sent big amounts to 1LAnF8h3qMGx3TSwNUHVneBZUEpwE4gu3D

Then, is VERY PROBABLY THAT 3Cbq7aT1tY8kMxWLbitaG7yT6bPbKChq64 OWNER KNOWS 1LAnF8h3qMGx3TSwNUHVneBZUEpwE4gu3D OWNER And the 1LAnF8h3qMGx3TSwNUHVneBZUEpwE4gu3D OWNER can help me.

Searching, some sites (and sites like USDT Official page https://web.archive.org/web/20181113185656/https://wallet.tether.to/richlist) says that the address 1LAnF8h3qMGx3TSwNUHVneBZUEpwE4gu3D belongs to Huobi

Again, I don't know really if the address is of Huobi, but I can deduct and track that the address is related with Huobi

Why? On my Huobi account I made only 2 BTC withdraws from Huobi in the past

2018-05-08 18:36:45 , txid: 0e6bf02323ebc166b6638afcd6170ecb73948748235e687def7e7a3cb1902fca , it has 239 inputs 2018-05-08 20:17:10 , txid: b59b988d642fe3773268e246ef1a0d048bbd3f734a611d00722b39126ed9e20b , it has 239 inputs too

In both transaction, all inputs are addresses that BELONGS TO HUOBI, because you huobi are sending me BTC

Both transactions has 39 addresses as inputs in common (all huobi address, maybe deposit addresses of anothers huobi users)

Example: 1M9ndPSQ4fmMKaKW2oX7LtjduDqYUcFKCW

Analyzing the transactions of this address, we can found many transactions sending BTC to 1LAnF8h3qMGx3TSwNUHVneBZUEpwE4gu3D

It’s so fucking brilliant that MT Gox holders are getting their BTC back !

The pain they felt was insane , I still remember the MT GOX horror thread .
Ironically many would of sold , it was a form of ultimate holding ultimately!
I just pray no one killed themselves.
Let’s all raise a glass to them , they deserve their BTC so much , the agony they had still resonates with me .

Here's to a fairy tale ending.

So today I bought 0.06 Bitcoin and it's a rather exciting experience. My life has been quite the shit-storm these last two years.

Due to a combination of making my own mistakes and finding out my parents' actual financial position I had to take out a few loans and put my plans on purchasing my first property on hold. I always knew things weren't the brightest for them, but holy shit. Long story short they are due to retire in 5 years, mountains of debt and still renting.

Some of these success stories like giving your folks a new beginning, buying homes, have givin me the tingies and hope for the future. I'm so happy for y'all.

Before judgement roles in, I put everything I can to get out of debt, I have purchased my share by voluntarily working overtime and staying on permanent night shift. Just had to throw that in there before the "you are in no place" comments role in.

Good luck to all of you, and hopefully I can return with my own heartwarming story in a few years.

People ask "Who's gonna buy your BTC at $100K?" Well, I've been here long enough to hear those same people ask that about $1,000. Or $10,000. Let me tell you my answer.

I have always responded to people who tell me these things by saying I will be the first to admit I am wrong when the time comes. So let's wait, 3, 5, 7 years, and then call me out. Just like I have done in the last 8 years. Guess what? They never show up.

The problem is, not only have we been right about this for the last decade, it's the "spot on, how the fuck did you know that would happen?" kind of right. I myself have gone on national TV a couple of times here in my home country saying Bitcoin is a hedge for the shit show that is going on in the world and that it's market cap will go to 1 trillion in 2016. How embarrasing would it have been if we were wrong?

It's not that we know we are right, but it's because we are not afraid to be wrong, even if a lot of us has put more skin in the game than required. Starting Bitcoin businesses, publicly supporting and talking about Bitcoin in the face of ridicule (talking about Bitcoin in a startup conference or fintech conference in 2014 will get you a few odd looks and dismissive laughs.), and putting what some might consider an irresponsible percentage of our net worth in the asset because we truly believe in its potential.

So to those saying "Who's gonna buy your Bitcoin at $100K?" I say this: First, I am not selling at $100K, lol. Second, talk to me in 4 or 5 years, feel free to make fun of me if I am wrong this time. The funny thing is, back then when Bitcoin was small, our conviction was already big. What makes you think that will change today?

The Bitcoin network will outlast all of us, this I am sure of. Whether you believe in its potential of you think it's one big ponzi scheme, when you take your last breath on your deathbed in 30, 40, or 50 years, the Bitcoin network will still be chugging along, making new blocks to add to the chain, as long as the telecommunications and internet networks exist and free people all over the world desire a monetary system that is free from politics and human intervention.

In the words of Nassim Nicholas Taleb: "Bitcoin will go through hick-ups (hiccups). It may fail; but then it will be easily reinvented as we now know how it works. In its present state, it may not be convenient for transactions, not good enough to buy your decaffeinated expresso macchiato at your local virtue-signaling coffee chain. It may be too volatile to be a currency, for now. But it is the first organic currency.

But its mere existence is an insurance policy that will remind governments that the last object establishment could control, namely, the currency, is no longer their monopoly. This gives us, the crowd, an insurance policy against an Orwellian future."
