Title: [2016-08-06] Should You Put Your Bitcoin in...a Bank? Post by: sirohige on August 06, 2016, 07:52:30 AM As Bitfinex, the digital-currency exchange that suffered a hack this past week, struggles to reopen, a wider question is again being asked about bitcoin: Is it really a better mousetrap?
On Tuesday, cyberthieves stole about 200,000 bitcoins, valued at roughly $65 million, from Hong Kong-based Bitfinex’s digital vaults. It was one of the largest hacks in the currency’s history. http://www.wsj.com/articles/should-you-put-your-bitcoin-in-a-bank-1470422031 Title: Re: [2016-08-06] Should You Put Your Bitcoin in...a Bank? Post by: panju1 on August 06, 2016, 08:26:25 AM Wrong question to ask about the hacking.
The right question is should you leave your bitcoin in exchanges? And the answer to that is a resounding no. |
