CryptoNite (@1crypto_knight) reported3) The positive: I was never dependent on one specific place and their offerings on coins. Blockfi, #binance #Coinbase #KuCoin where some exchanges I got on early in the game, so when Cryptopia went down it took only 5-10% of my 💰which always hurts but did not kill me

Mr. Wain (@AintScott) reported@SammyJoe_786 @CryptoTony__ It's like reading my own experience, bought doge around 0.002 and then forgot about it until last years ath. Only ****, it got stuck on cryptopia (now in last step to get it back)

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

cynicalaxolotl.eth (@cynicCryptoAxo) reported@Cryptopia_NZ I got another "mail" from your "support". It seems I have no claim because someone stole my funds 5 MONTHS after #Cryptopia was hacked and I lost access. Say: when they where hacked again in May 2019, my stuff was taken. You got to be ******* kidding me. FYI @CryptopiaRescue

Krem🎚️ (@KremBeats) reported@InkSpireMusic Tbh the first BTC purchase was lost on a site called Cryptopia circa 2014. After losing all those funds due to some scammy stuff I took a break until discovering TRUST wallet which was a BNB native wallet. This was when Eth gas GWEI was upwards of 50/100$ or so lol

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.

Pallen37 (@Pallen37) reported@ThisIsNuse 💯hahaha for sure. Thank god I never traded there much but that caught my attention after learning the super slow emission Zero proof coin launch. Poloniex, Bittrex, Cryptopia, but mostly Poloniex was my jam back then.. man I miss those days!

Jānis (@JnisRijnieks) reportedI dunno about you guys, but I’m sitting here, stacking sats for the past 3-4 years watching you panic over an exchange after exchange going down.. Anyone remember liqui, cryptopia, cobinhood…? The list just keeps growing. #ftx #crypto #bitcoin

C Mat (@c_mathis1988) reported@MetaLawMan Same in New Zealand if you look at the Cryptopia's liquidation process. The liquidator paid for a $1.6M website structure to give back the coins to the and no coin have been distributed back yet. The liquidator Gran Thornton keeps getting millions in fees..

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.

Bob Hill (@bobhillbtc) reported@mkfuzz @synthetix_io @rasmr_eth lmao tell me about cryptopia trade satoshi? mt gox? sit ******** down kid. I could teach you a thing or two about making money.

🚜Whales of Margin🚜 (@WhalesMargin) reportedI did pretty good then it got shut down so I moved into crypto so I could leverage. I mined bitcoin with an ant miner S9 funded my trading accounts. Got wiped out with South Exchange, Cryptopia, and the good ol’ Control Finance(if yk yk). I created a trading strategy that works🧵

Baksh the ₿eliever (@CryptoBaksh) reported@painkillerbill I lost 50 bucks on cryptopia when it shut down, my first 30 days in crypto, still hurts.

josh (@basedhusky) reported@ApeDurden Only real ones remember the guy that bought like 3 btc of $KIDS token on Cryptopia at 6 satoshi but there were 0 sell orders in the orderbook so it was impossible to sell it.

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
-
C. Duckersonian (@countrybuns_) reported@SigmaSquared_ TVL surges after exchange blowups is contradictory. A bit naive to think that normies in 2025 getting to experience yet another Cryptopia/FTX moment will suddenly restore faith in defi lmao, especially considering how **** this sector has fared in the last year
-
DEBAAS // (@debaas) 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.

walletverse.eth (@Cryptonomys) reported@secretsauce777 The problem is that I do not trust centralized platforms. Did you know that since the platform was hacked cryptopia i stopped using centralized platform It was a hard lesson for me because I lost more than 1.5 million with cryptopia exchange 😶😒

MiG Ⓥ 🔺🎈 (@migmtz81) reported@scottmelker Got burned by cryptopia a few years ago. Was only about $3k worth of **** coins but learned my lessons back then. Ever since then I don’t keep my anything on exchanges.
-
Mark Sims (@sims248) reported@LuminousBTC @LuminousBTC I went through the Cryptopia exit scam and lost 0.15 BTC it’s brutal. If this happened to you, don’t ignore it. Gather your tx hashes and evidence and reach out to @AutopsyMainnet. They actually analyze on-chain activity and help victims understand what happened and what options remain.
