  Ltc 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 👇

  And let's not forget about exchange insolvency. In Jan 2019, the New Zealand-based #crypto exchange Cryptopia went into liquidation, leaving customers without access to their funds

  @shakepay Since being a previous customer of QuadrigaCX, I've been a huge advocate of self custody. Mt. Gox, Cryptopia, Celsius, BlockFi, FTX, and others continue to give us reasons why self custody is so important. Not your keys, not your crypto. Shaketag: fullofdumplins

  @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.

  @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!!

  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🫣😜

  @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

  @gainzy222 No one should be storing crypto on exchanges. We learned this with mtgox, cryptopia etc. this has happened for years. I trade on exchanges, make my profit, then switch to monero and pull off. That way you dweebs aren’t watching my every move through block analyzing.

  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.

  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

  @YahooFinance @scottmelker Cryptopia screwed me out of 100k in doge when they shut down, and that stupid *** form was worthless.

  If it were a DeFi stable coin, the DAO could say **** it here is everyone's 90 cents. But companies don't do that and just go for bankruptcy protection and funds get locked and so on. For example Cryptopia exchange was hacked and the crooked liquidators stole more than the hacker

  @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.

  Just spent 3 hours of my Sunday - quite literally - sweeping the floor of Doges, on a new #Solana marketplace that has 'rug' written all over it. Send help. Had the same buzzy feeling of flipping random coins on cryptopia all them years ago.

  I 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🧵

  There have been a lot of crypto scams. Early on the media proclaimed that it was what criminals used. There have been a lot of collapses. FTX wasn’t all that long ago. Cryptopia in New Zealand filed for bankruptcy. HashFlare in Estonia was a Ponzi scheme. More recently there was the Hawk-tua-girl related rug pull. There have been a lot of rug pulls. In people’s minds it’s all connected to Bitcoin. Saylor talks about the infinite money glitch. People can’t understand how that’s not a house of cards or a Ponzi scheme. There has been so much noise blocking the signal that people just tune it all out. For those of us who can filter out the noise it’s obvious.

  @Decentralizd Cryptopia was my go to for awhile. Fortunately, didn’t have much worth holding on to when it shut down. Was playing with Pennies back in those days.

  🔑 Insights Scams (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

  @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 😶😒
