#大户持仓动态 A reminder to everyone about a common pitfall: never habitually copy wallet addresses directly from browser history or previous transaction records. It may sound trivial, but the consequences can be severe.
Recently, someone made this mistake — they pasted an address from an old record, didn’t double-check, and transferred 50 million USDT. By the time they realized, it was too late; the funds went into someone else’s wallet, and they lost everything.
This kind of mistake is actually quite easy to make. Over time, you use so many addresses that no one can remember which one is correct. Even a single extra digit or a tampered history record (which can happen) can lead to your assets disappearing.
The safest method is to verify the address each time you transfer — especially for large amounts. Some wallets also offer whitelist features, which is a good insurance. Spending an extra two minutes to verify is much more cost-effective than regretting it later.

50 million disappeared just because I didn't take a careful look, how painful this must be.

50 million USDT just disappeared like that, it's too terrifying... I now have to hesitate for three minutes before daring to click confirm on a transfer.

50 million USDT just disappeared like that, oh my, that must be heartbreaking
The difference of a single number is like heaven and hell, it's really scary
Copy-pasting may seem small, but it's actually a big mistake, be more cautious
The whitelist really needs to be enforced, just to buy some peace of mind
The brothers who got caught in this trap probably will regret it for a lifetime

50 million just gone like that, oh my god... These kinds of basic mistakes really happen
Copy-pasting is something you must learn from; verifying multiple times is really not a hassle
History records are too unreliable; every time you have to re-enter everything to feel at ease
The whitelist is indeed absolute, it’s just a bit more troublesome at the start, but it's worth it compared to losing everything
This guy probably regrets it so much his intestines are turning green...

50 million gone just like that, I'm really going crazy. Every transfer has to be as cautious as defusing a bomb.
