  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.

  @ftm_sharmoot In the 2017-2020 cycle I went from a couple hundred invested here and there to something like $30k and back down. That includes some funds I had to write off from Cryptopia. Coming in to 2021 I had about $5-10k in crypto. 2021 turned that into life changing money.

  @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)

  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.

  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🧵

  @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.

  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.

  @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. 🧡
