Crypto’s Crime Wave: Is Your Investment Safe or Just a Joke? 😂

So, here we are, folks. Crypto is apparently in the middle of what Mintology CEO Zach Burks calls “crime season.” I mean, really? Crime season? What’s next, a holiday special? 🎄

In 2025 alone, over $2.2 billion in crypto has been swiped. That’s right, stolen! And let’s not forget the $1.5 billion heist by North Korea’s Lazarus Group. I guess they’re not just good at hacking elections anymore! 🥴

Burks warns that this uptick in crime is not just a little hiccup; it’s damaging markets and, wait for it, posing a national security risk. Because nothing says “national security” like a bunch of meme coins crashing! 😂

He’s telling investors, especially those holding onto meme coins like they’re the last slice of pizza at a party, to brace for more volatility over the next six weeks. Good luck with that! 🍕

Regulation? Yeah, That’ll Fix Everything! 🙄

Burks argues that traditional regulatory bodies like the SEC and FCA are about as useful as a screen door on a submarine when it comes to crypto crime. They’re just creating more red tape, which is exactly what we need, right? More bureaucracy! 🙃

Instead, he thinks we need a decentralized, community-driven approach. You know, like a neighborhood watch but for crypto. We need people like Zach XBT to tackle these illicit transactions. Because nothing says “trust” like a bunch of random folks on the internet! 🤷‍♂️

Burks insists this isn’t just about protecting individual investors; it’s a matter of national security. Relying on politicians? That’s a recipe for disaster. What we need are crypto pragmatists ready to fight for a level playing field. Good luck finding those! 😅
