  @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.

  @BitPaine That's the problem with magic Internet money. It doesn't feel real, so you waste it on crap. I've never done anything as dumb as this, but I did once send a whole bitcoin to Cryptopia that I'll never see again.

  @MetaLawMan Same in New Zealand if you look at the Cryptopia's liquidation process. The liquidator paid for a $1.6M website structure to give back the coins to the and no coin have been distributed back yet. The liquidator Gran Thornton keeps getting millions in fees..

  @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..

  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

  @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!

  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.

  @Jin__ASAP @RareAxies @CryptopiaOFCL Our game is on Polygon so gas fees are extremely low. If the game is designed to be geared towards earning, like Cryptopia, gas fees really aren’t an issue.

  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.

  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

  @imgislost @Coinicarus @SamouraiWallet Getting Orange Pilled is a process…. I bought my first Bitcoin in 2017, then got involved in mining, then ‘day trading’ on Bittrex, Binance & Cryptopia (aka gambling on Mcafee tweets)... Then spent some time participating in DAOs on Etherum before doing DevRel for a Bitcoin L2 - that's where i learned about BitVM and ZK which lead me down the privacy rabbit hole…. so yes, i know about Samourai Wallet, but it wasn't until i was 6 years deeps. She’ll get there eventually…. Hopefully with some guidance from the community she can get there quicker. 🧡

  @SallyLondon7 @HuobiGlobal @justinsuntron Personally after Cryptopia crashed many of us asked Justin Sun to help recovery TRX He never replied never helped anybody. Sad is that Huobi was my favourite CEX. Now with Justin Sun and his empty promises, lies $pgala. I will probably leave big trades elsewhere. Big Risk Huobi

  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.

  I 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.

  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

  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.
