  Indeed. I'd like to think that those blue chips I mentioned are just more of an anti-inflation funds short term and retirement funds long term. I started with those 3 almost at almost at the same time but I'm still down with $ETN even with the DCA.. a big factor was Cryptopia. No one lost in $BTC and $XRP if they haven't sold. About Solana, it's just thriving on the memes as I have observed.. If ETN ever comes up with a way to make the real whales and influencers with huge following to be onboarded, then we can see growth.

  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.

  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

  If rumors are true that eToro is shutting down, then what’s up with Cryptopia?

  @Angeliki_T1 @RobinhoodApp In my experience, whether you self custody or use a centralized exchange, it has never hurt to sign up. Whether or not I send my BTC there is a whole different matter. Until every bank is an outlet I choose to support those that have opted to try. Much Love Cryptopia. 🧡

  @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

  @CryptoCurb @FBI BTC-e was shut down for money laundering. Cryptopia died after a massive hack. Binance? Already went through every possible investigation, paid $4.3B in fines, and operates under U.S. oversight. So no — this isn’t “the next BTC-e.” This is a regulated giant, not a shadow CEX from 2017. Posts like this are pure coordinated FUD)

  🔑 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

  @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.

  The 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!

  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.

  It'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

  @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.

  @Cryptopia_NZ As a customer of #Cryptopia, I do not allow my deposit to be liquidated on Cryptopia Exchange or converted to fiat to pay off exchange debts. I ask that my property be returned to me unchanged. Under the terms of #Cryptopia, coin balances are the property of the user!

  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.

  @justintrimble I had JUST made a big trade with DOGE as the trading pair when Cryptopia went down. Still had some left, but nowhere near what the forced HODL would have been. 'Tis a classic tale

  After 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.
