- gigaflop 5y agoIf they're 17 years old, there's no way they bought into BTC recently. 5 years ago, BTC popped up to around $20k, and then fell down to near $3k. It took until December of 2020 to get back up to 20k. If they were on Tor, they would have known about BTC, and if they were interested in black-hatting, BTC would have probably been the most accessible financial instrument for them to use in that pursuit. I'm 99% sure someone like that would have had a stash kicking around somewhere. Think anyone paid the group for work? That'd be a good way to fill the coffers.
