  I’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.

  @Innerdevcrypto Good for calling him out, he is sneaky af, but let's not pretend things will change, people will still keep going into the rigged casino and lose money. With all the **** that happened over the years (mtGox,cryptopia, FTX, bittrex, just to name a few) and people still using CEX-es it's really their fault if they get screwed over. Especially nowdays when you also have reliable leverage alternatives like HL. Cex-es are ok for fiat on-off ramping but that's it. I hope we also get a good alternative for that soon enough.

  @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.

  🌅 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.

  Year: 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.

  @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..

  2017 •BTC-e – One of the longest-running Bitcoin exchanges, shut down in July 2017 after U.S. authorities seized servers and charged the operator with money laundering. •Bitfinex (partial failure) – Not a full shutdown, but in 2017 it was still recovering from its massive 2016 hack and issued BFX tokens to cover losses. •Yobit, Cryptopia (issues began) – Not total collapse yet, but operational and withdrawal issues started to appear in late 2017. ⸻ 2018 •Coincheck – Hacked in January 2018 for ~$530 million in NEM, one of the largest crypto thefts ever. The exchange halted withdrawals for months, damaging trust. •MapleChange – Canadian exchange that vanished in November 2018 after claiming it was hacked; widely regarded as an exit scam. •Bitsane – Popular for XRP trading, became inaccessible in mid-2018 with user funds gone. •Liqui – Ceased operations in 2018 due to “lack of liquidity” after the bear market hit. •QuadrigaCX (problems started) – In 2018, withdrawal delays and banking issues escalated; it fully collapsed in early 2019. •Cryptopia – New Zealand exchange that began having serious operational issues in late 2018, then was hacked and shut down in early 2019.

  A crypto exchange gets hacked, causing the exchange to liquidate its assets, thereby making users unable to access their crypto, as was the case with Cryptopia. #DigifinexAirdrop

  Thinking that Ordinals and Runes are dead because of a singular (and unsupportive) platform shutting down is like saying Altcoins are forever dead because BTC-E is gone Cryptsy is gone Bittrex is gone Cryptopia is gone And the list goes on infinity

  @spacepixel Cryptopia! Dude i remember! I could literally pump token with a few 100 and then suddenly the herd would join and buy it. I could manipulate the market with a few 100s. No way it ******* shut down 2 weeks later

  @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

  @LionThriving @SBF_FTX @FTX_Official Fair enough. I lost only chump change this time. I learned my lesson when cryptopia went bust and locked down all our coins. Exchanges should only be used as exchanges. Get in, trade, get out. I had 3,333,333 Doge that i can not touch and that hurt but i learned.

  I 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

  3) 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

  @BinanceEvavvvva @binance Always! I understand people are just a little skeptical on the issues since Cryptopia goes missing, FTX collapse etc but they have to realize that Binance is way ahead of its game, i wouldn't even think twice to be worried.

  @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.

  I 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.

  The market definitely also had its pitfalls and flaws back then. Navigating is something that was always needed. Both today and in the past. Yet despite all of the "pitfalls" mentioned below it still feels a far cry to the amount we have today. The scams of the OG influencers actually pumped for quite a while. (I know because when I was brand new I even followed YouTuber Suppoman to quickly buy the coin he mentioned which actually worked ONLY when you were trigger finger quick) ICO's surprisingly were very forgiven. Out of the 10 that launched, most actually launched at a profit and not a small bit either. In terms of exchanges luckily the smaller ones like Cryptopia didn't have that many users. Think most of us were trading on Bittrex (me) or Poloniex and upcoming Binance that made its entrance. FTX in 2022 and Luna, Celcius etc etc was a disaster though for many. But before 2022 I still consider the market easy mode compared to today. It all comes down that back then we had liquidity in abundance vs the amount of coins/tokens that launched. For every ICO there were 1000s that couldn't wait to get in. Today everyone is avoiding it like the plague (for good reason). The market was easier back then but the ENTRY was harder though. You were basically rewarded for taking the risk to get into it. When no one is there to mention anything about crypto to you, it's hard to take the plunge.
