Haha, the crypto world has witnessed another epic slip-up! The Korean exchange Bithumb just pulled off what can only be described as the pinnacle of human clumsiness: Here’s the gist: They wanted to send out a few thousand Korean won (≈ a few RMB) as a welfare bonus, but an employee accidentally selected the unit as 'Bitcoin' instead of 'Korean won.' A budget of 620,000 KRW turned into a massive giveaway of 620,000 BTC! Chaos ensued: Nearly 700 user accounts suddenly received 'money from heaven,' with some instantly gaining over 2,000 BTC. Users reacted faster than the exchange: dumping BTC! withdrawing funds! running away! This caused the BTC price on the platform to flash crash by 17%. It took the exchange 20 minutes to realize what had happened, and they urgently froze all related accounts. Damage control: The CEO issued a swift apology, claiming they had recovered 99.7% of the mistakenly sent BTC (around 618,000 BTC), and the remaining amount would be covered using the exchange’s own funds. They promised to compensate users who suffered losses from the sell-off (price difference + an extra 10% bonus) and emphasized: this wasn’t a hack, purely human error! The system is fine! Netizens’ hot takes: 'The Best Intern of the Year award goes to you!' 'I missed my chance to become a millionaire in those 20 minutes…' 'Exchange: I just wanted to send out a bonus, but almost gave away the entire company!' And the ultimate question: If it were you, and you suddenly found 2,000 BTC in your account, what would your first reaction be?
