Its a bitcoin atm card that apparently comes with access to a site that I can show a big fat high balance

if you are making the investment long term then its not too late

Anything that many people use to transact and make a living off cannot just die unless people stop using it. Think newspapers, they are dying because people are using them less. Bitcoin is being used more and more every day.

like anything that people can trade you have price fluctuations. Bitcoin is growing so these things should not worry you.

I was infected with a file called safecrypt8.exe that switched a QR code and embarrassingly costing me money. I only found one video that talks about it but its a long video that talks about some other viruses too. I do not know right now how I got it but I suspect maybe the file names of this same virus can be different than the one I got.

I was buying a watch from someone online and they sent me their BTC address and a qr image. I used the qr image just to find out that the money went somewhere else. I opened the file again and realized that something is changing the qr code. My virus scanner did not detect the file, but I manually started closing all kinds of processes and reopening the image and only after I ended the task safecrypt8.exe did the image open and not change.

The video below if you skip to 8:30 shows it.
