The way I read the article, the “worth millions” is the sum of the ransom demand.

The funny part is that the exploit is in the “smart” contract, ya know the thing that the blockchain keeps secure by forbidding any updates or patches.

    why are you having to put your money back in the bank instead of leaving it on a blockchain such as Monero.

    Because my mortgage company, supermarket and power company only take real money.

      The mortgage I could see being a problem. As for groceries and power, I can pay for those with crypto.

        If you really believe crypto is the future, you would have converted all your money to the blockchain.

        Since you say you can buy everything with it.
