It compromised for a total of ฿18,547 BT which is equivalent to over $87,000 USD. ... Just a summary of the Bitcoinica hack in siliconangle.com Kristina Farrah writes surprisingly sloppily for a site which often covers bitcoin topics: " Bitcoin assured, however, that the amount isn’t all of their currency and that they will not inhibit withdrawals" & "We can recall Bitcoin suffering a number of serious compromises..." Like so many journalists new to covering Bitcoin issues - she doesn't appear to make the distinction between the Bitcoin ecosystem itself,Bitcoinica and other Bitcoin service providers. (Usually the siliconangle journalist covering Bitcoin is Kit Dotson) |
