-
Jay (@Idrewabird) reported@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 arenโt watching my every move through block analyzing.

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
-
MBA_Bitcoiner (@MBA_Bitcoiner) reported@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. Wouldnโt be fun, but counting your taxes with something else other than 0 is ideal.

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. ๐ด Mt. Gox โ 2014 Hot-wallet theft + years of mismanagement โ insolvency ~850,000 BTC (~200k later recovered) ๐ด Bitfinex โ 2016 Hot wallet breach ~119,756 BTC ๐ด Coincheck โ 2018 Hot wallet breach (NEM) ~523M XEM (~USD 530M then) ๐ด Zaif โ 2018 Hot wallet breach ~5,966 BTC + other assets (~USD 60M) ๐ด QuadrigaCX โ 2018โ19 Not a classic hack: founder death + "inaccessible" cold wallets; monitor found big shortfall / suspected fraud ~26,000 BTC + other coins (~CAD 190โ250M+) ๐ด Cryptopia โ 2019 Hacked, then liquidation (BTC + alts) ~USD 16M+ initially reported ๐ด Binance โ 2019 Hot wallet breach 7,000 BTC (~USD 40M โ SAFU covered users) ๐ด KuCoin โ 2020 Hot wallets breached ~USD 275M mixed tokens ๐ด BitMart โ 2021 Hot wallets breached ~USD 150โ200M mixed ๐ด FTX / Alameda โ 2022 Fraud & insolvency; customer funds misused ~USD 8โ10B shortfall ๐ด DMM Bitcoin โ 2024 Unauthorized outflow 4,502.9 BTC (~USD 300M+) ๐ด WazirX โ 2024 Multisig / custody breach ~USD 230โ235M mixed ๐ด Bybit โ 2025 Cold-wallet / signer exploit ~401,000 ETH (~USD 1.4โ1.5B), not BTC-led Custodial and protocol heists together โ centralized exchanges plus DeFi and bridges โ run into the tens of billions of dollars over their lifetime at event prices, with single bad years clearing USD 2โ3B 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 0.04โ0.07B. 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 โ 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 โ and understand that from a strict safety analysis, your funds have never been safer than in self custody.

Mark Sims (@sims248) reported@LuminousBTC @LuminousBTC I went through the Cryptopia exit scam and lost 0.15 BTC itโs brutal. If this happened to you, donโt 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.

gone crypto 1/333 ๐ฆ๐ (@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.

Kamal (@Kamal92424454) reported@pursang20 @Cryptopia_NZ I also got the mail but can't log in with authentication as error starts coming "Please enter a valid, and current code." even though I am entering correct code. The Grant T doing everything to give a safe passage to Cryptopia and loot it's customers

Pallen37 (@Pallen37) reported@ThisIsNuse ๐ฏhahaha 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!

CyberGrinder (@cyber_grinder) reported@hodlonaut Wait... a scam in crypto without getting hacked in the aftermath? Do you not remember Cryptopia? They got hacked twice when they went down. The 2nd hack happened AFTER they had moved (allegedly) everything into cold storage. "hacked" in crypto = we've failed but we'll keep the $

Barry Zahurance (@barryzed) reportedThere 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 wasnโt 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 peopleโs minds itโs all connected to Bitcoin. Saylor talks about the infinite money glitch. People canโt understand how thatโs 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 itโs obvious.

Stan (@CryptoBernese) reportedI lost money (crypto) on btc-e, cryptopia, envion (scam ICO), celcius, ftx and blockfi. Mostly dust, couple of grands sometimes, and up to 2% of my nw on blockfi. I'm working on getting everything on cold storage (half already is)

Will Hunter ๐บ๐ฆ (@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

Altcoins Guy (@Altcoinsguy) reported๐ GM, Crypto Fam ๐จ 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: โข Cryptopia โข ProBit โข Mercatox โข BitForex โข Altilly โข WEX โข Hotbit โข IDAX ๐ก 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.

CryptoShillz (@CryptoShilllz) reported@CryptoScoopOG @cz_binance I don't think it does. Obviously theres a chance for anything But I ain't playing the #Binance going down scenario. My longs I like to move a certain amount to wallets that's way before FUD as good practice. I had bitgrail, cryptopia, coss exchanges go down on me.

Arya's List 112.211 (@Stellar17Arya) reported@WelshieOutdoors Please. I said it's a monstruosity. Where did I endorse baba's date? I posted this because I think Cryptopia has done us a great service decoding this rubbish, not because I agree with the yellow timeline. Lol
