gone crypto 1/333 🦇🔊 (@favudom) 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.

Ori Al-Sirr (@OriAlSirr) reportedScams (2016–2019): Mostly Ponzi schemes and fake projects (Bitconnect, OneCoin, PlusToken). Mismanagement/Hacks (2014–2019): Weak custody led to catastrophic hacks (Mt. Gox, Cryptopia). Leverage & Risk (2022): A wave of collapses tied to contagion from Terra/LUNA and 3AC, exposing reckless lending practices. Fraud (2022): FTX revealed how lack of transparency and misuse of customer funds can devastate the entire ecosystem. @RichardHeartWin

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

# (@SHR3SHTH) reported@ck_SNARKs It's not the noobs but the people who have been around for ages falling for the same **** that's truly disappointing. Some of these guys are the same people who fell for the ICO scams and lost coins in Cryptopia and other altcoin casinos in 2017/2018 cycle.

*Sponge* (@StupiditySponge) reported@TuurDemeester Hack, is the same thing right? This was a hack of the system. So this is a new leak that has to be solved. I had trust issue’s with exchanges any ways…. Cryptopia same same. This is just a different hack of the system from within that has to be solved in order to grow trust.

GirlChatSports (@raymond580429) reporteddebaas **** I lost some LTC and Mothership in Cryptopia, clearly didn't learn my lesson
-
🩸Don Kane (@TheDonKane) reportedI started using Cryptopia and probably bought like half the coins listed on that exchange. The problem was alot of these coins weren't supported by the big crypto wallet companies so I had to keep most of them on Cryptopia. Further, I had no clue what counterparty risk was
-
Matrix⚡️ (@MatrixXBT) reported@Cryptopia13 @CloutedMind why are u even calling yourself cryptopia and have web3 in your bio if u think its all nonsense and greater fool theory ? also our argumentation wasnt about if there is more risk and prices may go down more because of btc treasury companies. if its all nonsense for u

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
-
Dr. Olawale Daniel (@DrOlawaleDaniel) reportedThe only real #Cryptopia platform I am aware of since 2014 is @Cryptopia_NZ and they went down with our funds as they declared bankruptcy or liquidation. So, you people claiming another platform is helping you recover funds or anything, better be careful. Do research!
-
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 😶😒

Titi Mentor | Noya (@titimentor) reportedIt's unfortunate that some of us don't learn after hearing several terrible stories about leaving funds in CEX. QuadrigaCX, cryptopia, and more others. I, myself is one of the unlucky people who have funds in FTX. Dear crypto frens, avoid leaving huge sums or any money that would affect you in CEX, no matter their credibility. Making money and losing it to hack or theft or some shady action is more painful than losing it to "investment gone wrong." WAGMI

Phoenix (@Phoenix_Ash3s) reported@CoinMarketCap Electroneum. Ever since cryptopia went down🤝

BOBCAT (@bobcatbts) reported@CryptoLifer33 Rimbit.....bought using PayPal on a crowd funding website, but it had liquidity on cryptopia. It was also my first rug....
-
CryptoTripper (@TheCryptoRipper) reported@crypto_bitlord7 Remember back when Nova shut down. Kind of same reasoning, I would say. Plenty of exchanges had to close.. The one I really miss is cryptopia but that was some inside hack bullshit..

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.

(💙,🧡)nikavc.eth (@Caominhhai13) reported@TylerDurden @EtherDelta @Cryptopia_NZ Agree! Etherdelta is the Dex I used, but it is very lag at that time. Because of it, they cannot compete with Binance! But wtf, cryptopia is Cex, I lost 10Eth on that!!

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

ilikeblocks (@beniduboss) reportedI lost it all last cycle on cryptopia I lost it all this cycle too Losing it all is my specialty at this point, but if I hadn't come back this cycle, I would've never been able to help my mom with her debts, which is still my biggest accomplishment to this day.
