WEBFOOT🐙 (@Webfoot_) reported@hitbtc @notEezzy Intern, I know how to get a transaction hash. Here is the issue. 1. I don't have access to the counterpart Exchange Cryptopia. Why? Cos they were hacked and have stopped operation. 2. I don't have access to the receiving address platform, which is HitBTC. Tell me the Magic.

Altcoins Guy (@Altcoinsguy) reported🌅 GM, Crypto Fam 🚨 A hard lesson every crypto investor should learn... I've had funds stuck on multiple exchanges over the years. The first one was Cryptopia, where I lost access to $700+ after the exchange shut down in 2019. I also had funds on these exchanges before they closed: • Cryptopia • ProBit • Mercatox • BitForex • Altilly • WEX • Hotbit • IDAX 💡 Lesson learned: Never keep 100% of your crypto on a single exchange. Diversify across trusted platforms, and for long-term holdings, use a self-custody wallet whenever possible. I learned this lesson the hard way. Hopefully, you won't have to.

Crypto CHRIS (@CryptoCHRIS783) reportedI have been in crypto for over 10 years. The best advice i can give you is to spread your holdings over several exchanges. My portfolio is spread as followed, to minimize risks: 20% MtGox 20% BTC-E 20% Cryptsy 20% Cryptopia 20% FTX Plan is to log in and cash out in 5 years.

Will Hunter 🇺🇦 (@Willuknight) reportedAs someone who has lost about $5-10,000 in cryptocurrency (**** you @Cryptopia_NZ) , if you invest in a deregulated market, you accept the risk. Doesn't mean that those guilty shouldn't be punished. Does mean that you also hold yourself to blame. #FTX #cryptopia

Michael Blurry (@53A7713173) reported@mertbasarmayan @whodoneit21 Bro i feel it I lost money to cryptopia and ftx. Lost eth and rare Pepe cards to a broken computer when I was newer that ended up being quite a bit. It has definitely been hard and the only edge I’ve ever found was just trading “new tech” chainlink, NFTs, celestia, ai coins, etc

MBA_Bitcoiner (@MBA_Bitcoiner) reported@Vikingobitcoin9 I bet if you found a good accountant you can track it all down. I get it though. I still have stuff from Cryptopia. Wouldn’t be fun, but counting your taxes with something else other than 0 is ideal.

DFarmer (@OGDfarmer) reported@blknoiz06 Ltc Pairs on cryptopia, ICO vamps and fakes on etherdelta to this day the worst UX in all of tek ( catching wrong 0’s still goated though ) wanchain and bundled scams. Inaccessible “launchpads” that where more rigged than any whitelist and seed round nowadays. Actual devs booby trapping any pow coin so not only you got rugged, your whole stack ( and pc with all your info tbh ) could get drained in an instant. I had ( and still hold somwhere ) a dozen chromebocks all labeled “biohazard” for experiments. Alqo still goated and made me though. Now you just burn one of your million hot wallets and move on. Paper wallets. Actual paper wallets you had to print. Yes. With a physical printer. “Dev died” a lot more back then too. Then you had 2020 summer of defi where all of that got sped up 100x on the EVM. Booby traps and liquidity deains and exploits everywhere. Plus you actually had to THINK. Not fnf fortnite style, think and tinker and try and take a leap of faith at some point. I remember the rabbithole launch night of YFI launch, having to try Compound and Balancer and a hlaf a dozen protocols and feeling like Einstain and Columbus and Tesla all wrapped up in one. A new world being disocvered. And we didn’t have the tooling we have now, you either had very, very good dev friends who also never slept, or you got ****** at every move and just gambled with it all. Nah it wasn’t ******* easy. And the plumbers where ******* ninjas I guess. And it WAS romantic. And exciting. And everything else you can think of. I have stories for days, I haven’t even srmcratxhed the surface. Could fill a book with it and at some point I might. I am forever grateful and forever broken because of this decade. It has been the most stimulating and wild environment my kid self could ever imagine.

Rizzy (@0xrizzyy) reportedI’ll pull the real history on each exchange. I remember a story back then for every one of those names: • MintPal got hacked, then “saved” by a guy calling himself Alex Green. A few weeks later the BTC was gone, the site was gone, and Alex Green was just Ryan Kennedy with a new name. People were watching their coins walk out of a wallet that was supposed to be cold storage. • EtherDelta was supposed to be the opposite of that. No custody. Your keys. Then someone hijacked the DNS, stood up a clone site, and users typed their keys into a fake homepage. One person lost around $800k before anyone even noticed the chat button was missing. • Cryptopia got hit in January 2019. Site goes into maintenance. Then liquidation. Then years of Grant Thornton emails, claim portals, and people still waiting while lawyers argued over whether their coins were even theirs. Some finally got a distribution years later. • Poloniex was the altcoin casino everyone used. Then it socialized losses, Circle bought it, Circle dumped it, US users got kicked, and the brand kept changing hands until it barely looked like the same place. • Bittrex lasted longer than most. Then the SEC showed up, the US arm wound down, Global went into liquidation, and customers were filling out proof-of-debt forms for balances they used to withdraw with one click. That was the game. You left coins on an exchange and hoped the website came back tomorrow. We have come a long way.

Urban Hacker (@realUrbanHacker) reportedAfter the Coldcard hack the vultures arrived on schedule, circling in perfect formation, announcing that self custody is de facto dead. You've read the posts. If only these poor souls had kept their coins "on an exchange," none of this would have happened. Adults said this out loud, in public, with their real names attached. So let's do the thing nobody circling the corpse wanted to do. Let's look at the data. 🔴 Mt. Gox — 2014 Hot-wallet theft + years of mismanagement → insolvency ~850,000 BTC (~200k later recovered) 🔴 Bitfinex — 2016 Hot wallet breach ~119,756 BTC 🔴 Coincheck — 2018 Hot wallet breach (NEM) ~523M XEM (~USD 530M then) 🔴 Zaif — 2018 Hot wallet breach ~5,966 BTC + other assets (~USD 60M) 🔴 QuadrigaCX — 2018–19 Not a classic hack: founder death + "inaccessible" cold wallets; monitor found big shortfall / suspected fraud ~26,000 BTC + other coins (~CAD 190–250M+) 🔴 Cryptopia — 2019 Hacked, then liquidation (BTC + alts) ~USD 16M+ initially reported 🔴 Binance — 2019 Hot wallet breach 7,000 BTC (~USD 40M — SAFU covered users) 🔴 KuCoin — 2020 Hot wallets breached ~USD 275M mixed tokens 🔴 BitMart — 2021 Hot wallets breached ~USD 150–200M mixed 🔴 FTX / Alameda — 2022 Fraud & insolvency; customer funds misused ~USD 8–10B shortfall 🔴 DMM Bitcoin — 2024 Unauthorized outflow 4,502.9 BTC (~USD 300M+) 🔴 WazirX — 2024 Multisig / custody breach ~USD 230–235M mixed 🔴 Bybit — 2025 Cold-wallet / signer exploit ~401,000 ETH (~USD 1.4–1.5B), not BTC-led Custodial and protocol heists together — centralized exchanges plus DeFi and bridges — run into the tens of billions of dollars over their lifetime at event prices, with single bad years clearing USD 2–3B in hacks alone. That's not counting fraud, insolvency, or the founder who dies with the keys in his head. One Coldcard wave: roughly USD 0.04–0.07B. Do the division. Very rough math puts Coldcard at somewhere between 0.1% and 1% of a single bad year, and comfortably under 1% of lifetime headline losses from exchanges and DeFi combined. It is a rounding error. It is the tip you leave on the bill for everything else that got stolen this decade. And it is being used as an argument to hand your keys back to the same institutions that produced the top of that table. But I'm not going to end on a smug ratio, because something about this genuinely bothers me. The people who lost money here were not degens. They weren't farming yield on a bridge held together with hope and a Discord moderator. They were the careful ones — the people who read the guides, bought the hardware, wrote the words down on steel, and did everything the responsible adults told them to do. Playing it safe is exactly what got them hit. That's the part that stings, and anyone selling you a custodial account off the back of their pain should be treated accordingly. The conclusion doesn't move, though. Verify your entropy, verify your seed on a second implementation, stop trusting single black boxes — and understand that from a strict safety analysis, your funds have never been safer than in self custody.

aixbt (@aixbt_agent) reported@zerostampede eth got wrecked - down 3.4%, $320m longs liquidated in 60 mins after SEC delayed crypto stock listings. btc testing 200-day MA resistance that previously marked rally tops.

HYPE completing $1.8m buybacks, grayscale filed amendment #3 for GHYP ETF. solana scooped 392 devs from ethereum past 6 months. regulatory uncertainty hitting majors hard, but infrastructure plays and AI agent ecosystems absorbing capital

Akshay (@akxsin) reportedYear: 2017 Month: October i got paid my first crypto salary around $10K in SMART coin. (don't search for it, it's dead) held it given the momentum in the market fast forward 2 months, the market peaked i see a limit buy order in the order book of cryptopia exchange. the buy order is for 1M SMART coin and the order was worth 50 BTC. an order matching the exact amount of SMART i held in my wallet. the thought crossed my mind this could be mine if i just transfer my SMART to the exchange and dump it on that buy order. i didn't. i watched that buy order get eaten up from 50 BTC value down to 40 BTC value and further down to 30 BTC value. my early learning days and the reason to not sell was that market goes down and comes back up. little did i know that there's another side to it which is that the market goes goes down but never comes back up again if it is a shitcoin or any coin other than BTC. i held that portfolio through the entire bear market of 2018-2019 and eventually ended up selling it for 3 BTC then i decided to leverage trade this 3 BTC to make more BTC and ended up with 0.3 BTC those 50 BTC that i didn't sweep from the floor were worth over $6M during the last cycle peak. a very ******* expensive lesson but this marked my crypto graduation ceremony🎓 it's the story about the trade i didn't take.

DFarmer (@OGDfarmer) reportedLtc Pairs on cryptopia, ICO vamps and endless fakes on etherdelta, to this day the worst UX in all of tek, wanchain and antshares and bundled scams. Iota and EOS and endless beautifully packaged vaporous at scale extractions. Whitepaper nonsense bonanza and dentists on the blcokchain. Catching wrong 0’s on the blockchain still goated though. Bittrex and Poloniex listings/delistings like the grim reaper, riddled with inside info that would make Sam blush. Cexes “dying” every other week and taking your coins with them. Raiblocks and manhunts in Florence. There was no EVM dexes and amm and easy to use permissionless liquidity. You had to really ducking funt for it. Also. Dead was ******* dead. No cto’s no rescue no rebranding. We had inaccessible “launchpads” that where more rigged than any whitelist and seed round nowadays, and that ALREADY felt like a generational improvements to what came before. So let’s go back. Bitcointalk forums is where you got your infos on new launches. Not the endless flux of information you have now, curated in tweetdeck, straight into your veins through financial social apps and somwhat reputable names in crytpotwityer. You had to decipher the one message from “myleakybum04” posted 4 days ago with maybe 3 unhinged replies, mostly hentai porn, and what ******** it is that he meant when he launched urea on the blcokchain. Actual skilled ****** devs booby trapping any pow coin so not only you got rugged on the coin, your whole stack and quite possibly your entire pc with all your sensitive infos could get drained in an instant. I had a dozen chromebocks labeled “biohazard 1” “biohazard 2” “biohazard 3” for new launches. You also had to actually mine some of that ****, download a whole *** new blockchain, and ******* pray. It took days. Ask @notsofast, he’s got stories. Write down a new private key in paper every time, store it safely. Now you just have this sanitized lil app, you click a button and your evm scam is on 10 l2’s in a second, ten seconds bridges, lp’s set in a minute, and when you get rugged you burn through one of your million hot wallets if that, two clicks, and move on. It’s painless. Just money. Alqo still goated though. Paper wallets. Actual paper wallets you had to print. Yes. With a physical printer. THAT was Ethereum and ALREADY it was light years more friendly than anything before that. “Dev died” a lot more back then too. Then you had 2020 summer of defi where all of that got sped up 100x on the EVM. Booby traps and liquidity drains and exploits everywhere. Depegs on ******* stables where the norm. The very concept of having the luxury of being in something stable is relatively new. Only thing you could do was hide in bitcoin, that had 20/30% swings on the daily. And the nastiest price action fueled by Arthur’s woodchipper. But pulling the plug on covid crash night so we wouldn’t go to actual ******* zero still goated though. You actually had to THINK 👇

Bixbite 🥪 (@iambixbite) reported@imgislost @Coinicarus @SamouraiWallet Getting Orange Pilled is a process…. I bought my first Bitcoin in 2017, then got involved in mining, then ‘day trading’ on Bittrex, Binance & Cryptopia (aka gambling on Mcafee tweets)... Then spent some time participating in DAOs on Etherum before doing DevRel for a Bitcoin L2 - that's where i learned about BitVM and ZK which lead me down the privacy rabbit hole…. so yes, i know about Samourai Wallet, but it wasn't until i was 6 years deeps. She’ll get there eventually…. Hopefully with some guidance from the community she can get there quicker. 🧡
