  Urban Hacker (@realUrbanHacker) reported 38 seconds ago

  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.

  @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

  @ThisIsNuse 💯hahaha 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!

  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.

  For those that don't know, I'm the guy meritted 2nd, Jimlite. But I'm a bad trader, so I just HODL. And I'm not rich because I had no size. Back then we all thought the govt. would shut #Bitcoin down or we would lose it on exchanges (which I did). Cryptorush, Cryptopia, ect.

  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

  @Cryptopia13 @CloutedMind why are u even calling yourself cryptopia and have web3 in your bio if u think its all nonsense and greater fool theory ? also our argumentation wasnt about if there is more risk and prices may go down more because of btc treasury companies. if its all nonsense for u

  @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. 🧡

  @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

  2012 - mined 22,223 BTC and millions of DOGE in a pool with friends mostly a bunch of laptops 2014 - Mt Gox collapses 18,000 bitcoin gone 2018-2019 - Cryptopia hacked, more BTC gone all good was working for a $8B top 30 coin from 2016-2019 so it hurt but I wasn’t stacking bitcoin with that pay 2022 - FTX and Luna ****** my *** raw lots of capital wiped put a lot into several projects on BSC and farms Looking back I should be a billionaire today, and I should be giving mfers on here free money all day long. But instead I’m still chugging Our time comes when it comes I’ve been up majorly and down and up again. Am at the lowest I’ve been but still comfy I have faith this market goes majorly green this year this time I will take what I earned and do all the things I wanted to for so long.

  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 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

  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

  @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.

  @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

  @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 $
