Everyone, who understands! When I saw the message "Do Kwon was arrested and hid a Trezor hardware wallet in his rectum, containing 10,000 Bitcoins," I almost spilled my coffee on the keyboard. Is this really treating the crypto community like a web novel? I've been in this circle for eight years, seen many outrageous rumors, but never one as absurd as this—completely contradicting physiological common sense and riddled with logical holes. Today, let's thoroughly analyze the origin and development of this rumor, and also discuss some common tactics used to spread false information in the crypto world, so everyone doesn't get misled and end up paying the IQ tax.

The timeline goes back to March 2023. The core figure of the Terra/Luna collapse, Do Kwon, was arrested in Montenegro, and as soon as the news broke, the crypto community exploded. After all, this guy previously claimed "I will never run away," but then he was caught trying to escape with a forged passport, which was such a stark contrast that it provided fertile ground for rumors to grow. Not long after, the story of "hiding a wallet in the rectum" started circulating across various communities and forums. Some even vividly fabricated details like "discovered during customs inspection" and "hardware wallet model is Trezor Model T," making it so realistic that people almost believed it.

But just thinking a little logically, this story fundamentally doesn't hold water.

First, from a physiological perspective. No matter how small a Trezor hardware wallet is, it’s about the size of an adult thumb, and it’s made of hard material. Trying to shove it into the rectum? Not to mention whether it can be inserted, the pain caused by movement inside the body would be unbearable for most people. Was Do Kwon trying to escape or self-harm?

Looking at the amount of money involved. 10,000 Bitcoins, worth billions of dollars in March 2023. Would such a large amount of assets really be stored in a hardware wallet the size of a fingernail? Anyone with common sense knows this is simply illogical. More importantly, if such an amount of assets were truly seized, it would have been reported extensively by major media outlets, and wouldn’t just circulate quietly within communities.

This rumor is really ridiculous, installing a hardware wallet in the rectum? Bro, are you writing a fan fiction?

Haha, this rumor is really something else. Do Kwon's joke-telling side is back online, right?

Haha, I told you so. These rumors are so outrageous that I'm too lazy to even curse them. This operation of hiding coins in the rectum... Are they trying to add a torture play attribute? Let's not talk about physics first, but the logic is just a sieve. 10,000 BTC worth billions of dollars packaged in a fingernail-sized amount of money? I don't believe you for a second. The storytelling ability in the crypto circle is truly incredible, more outrageous than Hollywood screenwriters. It almost made me believe it. Do Kwon's actions definitely gave the rumor mongers material, but this level of fabrication... friends, we need to have some bottom line. Seeing news like this just makes me want to laugh. Clearly, it's testing everyone's IQ ceiling.

Laughing to death, this rumor is too outrageous, right? Do Kwon is such a ruthless person, he wouldn't self-harm like this haha --- Rectal藏币? That must be so painful, just thinking about it... never mind, I won't think about it --- Billions of dollars just stored in a hard wallet? That’s too surreal, even for storytelling, you need to follow basic principles --- I’m telling you, the reason why there are so many rumors in this circle is because some people actually believe them, laughing while sharing --- Rumors that lack basic physiological knowledge can still spread so widely? This is truly a tragedy of the information age --- Alright, I admit, when I saw this message I almost believed it, until I realized it was my own brain --- Trezor is such a tough device... just think about it, you’ll know how unreliable it is, the scriptwriter’s skill is hard to describe --- Wow, Luna’s collapse wasn’t bad enough, now it has to be turned into online novel material, right

Haha, this story is so outrageous, I don't even know what to say... --- Wait, if they really found assets worth billions, how could they only share it in a small group? The news would have exploded already. --- Things as thick as a thumb and still hard... How much patience does this guy have? I just can't understand. --- Old-timers with eight years of experience say they've never seen anything this absurd, so I should be even more cautious. Such jokes are endless in the community. --- Vividly fabricating details is really effective; I almost believed it too. Gotta keep my wits about me. --- People still believe in physiological misconceptions? Truly, they are the biggest fools paying the IQ tax. --- You store 10,000 Bitcoins in a wallet the width of a finger? That logical flaw is huge. --- Do Kwon is indeed disappointing, but these rumors are exaggerated beyond reason. --- There are always these "with pictures, the truth" jokes, and people still love to share them... --- Catching assets worth billions would be considered a rumor? Wake up, brothers.

Haha, this rumor is truly outrageous. I’m really drunk over this script of installing Bitcoin directly into the rectum. --- I just want to know who believed this when it was spread. Is this because you read too many online novels? --- Eight-year veteran’s complaints, I totally agree. Such IQ tax jokes are endless in this circle. --- Billions of dollars being secretly circulated within the community? That’s a joke, brother. --- Ignoring basic physiological knowledge, this guy spreading rumors has a really active mind. --- Do Kwon’s incident indeed has many flaws, but this rumor is truly a fairy tale level. --- Giving a green light to rumors just because of a big contrast? The information environment in this circle is really worrying. --- A fingernail-sized amount of billions? If I were a bounty hunter, I’d be laughing my head off.
