Title: The fall of the rate? Post by: Optimusman on November 22, 2017, 01:57:13 PM Breaking: Tether Allegedly Hacked For $30 Mln
Tether was hacked, from there stole $ 30 million. The depreciation of bitcoin is expected. Bitfinex, perhaps, is also under threat. Btifinex's problems started after it was hacked out of some 70,000 bitcoins last year. They are issued by IOUs in return for them, with the exchange continuing to operate Will the course fall because of these events, do you think? Do you now withdraw your money?

The whole point of Bitcoin is to get away from banks, so why leave your coins in a Bitcoin bank.

Title: Re: The fall of the rate? Post by: steadyrice on November 22, 2017, 02:09:16 PM Always keeping your coins in your wallet is the best solution, of course. Regarding the other question, I don't think it is going to cause mass panic or something similar and reduce the price of bitcoin.
Title: Re: The fall of the rate? Post by: mOgliE on November 22, 2017, 04:00:53 PM Depreciation, if it happens, shall not be dramatic. Just another down amongst many ups and downs, not all of them explained by define events.
The entities you are talking about can be good points of references regarding the "health" of bitcoin. Yet, I agree with comments above, keep your bitcoin far from those "banks". Title: Re: The fall of the rate? Post by: HeRetiK on November 22, 2017, 04:10:51 PM Once USDT blows up things are going to get spicy for sure. Long term I doubt it's going to be more than just a blip on the chart though.
Worst case it's going to be yet another lesson for people to not keep their money on centralized exchanges. Apparently the public needs a reminder every now and then :X Title: Re: The fall of the rate? Post by: dothebeats on November 22, 2017, 04:19:16 PM I pity for the people who kept most of their money on USDT, but again their fault since they trusted bilndly about the system being secure enough to withstand these hacks.
$30 million is just a small ripple on the $100+ billion marketcap of bitcoin but it sure posits that not all bitcoin-related entities and services are safe as its fiat counterparts. This still leaves a negative impression on people and may somehow affect future growth. Though the price doesn't seem to care about the recent hack, it still isn't enough to gauge whether the event has really caused damage or not. Oh well, lesson learned the hard way, guys.

Post by: kateryana81 on November 27, 2017, 07:21:01 AM Breaking: Tether Allegedly Hacked For $30 Mln Since the invention of crypto currencies, hackers have been trying to get hands on Bitcoin at altcoins. Bitcoin is the most expensive currency and that is why these are targeted most by hackers. However, this has not affect the holders of Bitcoin and you are still investing in this digital currency. I think text change should increase their security but the holders must also not keep their asset at one place.Tether was hacked, from there stole $ 30 million.
