Title: 650,000 Bitcoins got lost from Blockchain ?
Post by: First77 on February 03, 2018, 12:52:04 PM
When Mt. Gox collapsed in 2014, some 650,000 bitcoins were lost. While it was a rather big sum four years ago, it is now worth $5.2 billion. Another big failure may result in a total loss of confidence in the cryptocurrency, resulting in an exodus to fiat money and commodities.

Last week, $500 million in NEM cryptocurrency were stolen, adding more concerns about the lack of security of investing in cryptocurrencies.

They were not lost, they were stolen. About the stolen NEM tokens - it was the exchange fault, not the blockchain.

Yes the Mt. Gox were not lost but stolen ad previous poster pointed out, if you look deep the web for tracking tools, you can see where they went, and are now. NEM was exchange fault too. There are of course many dust and forgotten about accounts and wallets, this is where the real loss is - I saw some time agon a transaction with 100 BTC as the fee, and 0.001 as the transaction - oops - the miners did well that day. It is scary to see how many BTC and ALTs are lost, never to be redeemed again.. It is also a great lesson to us all to hold what is dear true.

Ripple offers some protection against theft because real people are behind it instead of a hidden development team
who main task was to keep miners rich and now they have developed the lightning network so the
miners can run banks "Off-Block"

You can all keep the argument that Ripple is ran by bankers given these conditions we find ourselves in
today and Ripple fees are next to nothing so for these reasons I would recommend XRP to anyone that just wants
to learn how to use digital wallets.

Good job Bitcoins are not linked to much real money and is fire walled using fake USDT that is the
only new demand we are seeing in this casino because it's fake money and is not backed by real $USD
and is the king-pin that will bring the house of cards crashing down.

There is an estimation of 1.6 - 1.8 million Bitcoin that is truly lost forever because the wallet owner forgot about their wallet and deleted it or the hard drive that contains the wallet is damaged.

Hardwork would have taken place had it not been for this story with the exchange of Coincheck $ 534 million were stolen due to a failure of NEM blockchain. But since this issue is caused by gaps in the security system of Coincheck, a failure of the team NEM was fair.

650,000 Bitcoins got lost from Blockchain ??

We are in the early stages of the cryptocurrency technology so it is like the Wild West in some ways. Many exchanges are at risk of thefts and hacks and the exchanges themselves can steal our money with little recourse and very little chance of us getting our money back. This is especially true since these exchanges are international and mostly unregulated. It’s up to us to make sure we secure our investments.

Forgotten or lost wallets will be a problem as long as people won't care about their bitcoins equal to their real life money. I know you can't put your hard dirve into a safe box (but a backup hard drive can be put into it). Also, people have to learn how to deal with bitcoin. Dealing with fiat money is really simple, you learn it from your parents, or from other people, but you can't learn to deal with bitcoin from the family and you don't learn it in the school. Those lost bitcoins were lost when the technology was really new and people didn't care about them much, because it had much less value. If the bitcoin price was $1,000 or more that time people would care about their bitcoins much more.

Let us analyze the situation,who gave you the idea that bitcoin is lost from the blockchain,they were hacked in the first place and these happens when you take customers for granted and the mystery of Mt.Gox will always be a mystery as you will never know whether it was an inside job or not,most of their dealings were shady prior to the said hack,when it comes to coincheck hack,there are more doubts than answers,they did not put multi signature security which is again a fault from the exchange,in conclusion always store your coins in your own wallet where you own the private key and not in exchanges.

       So, we must be careful of securing our  wallet and bitcoin if not we have lost them forever. . Don’t give your  username or passwords for every site asking to it. Coz you do not know if they keep tracking with your account. If they will track you, they will be the one using  it , and  they will steal all the  fruit of your hardship on bitcoin. So do not trust your account to anybody for they might hacked you  and you can not open anymore your wallet .

Do you even read and acknowlegde what people say? FORGET about the blockchain. An exchange or whatever other service losing coins due to theft or data loss, is only the result of how incompetent or shady the service or exchange in question is. People are the ones messing up not Bitcoin, but that apparently isn't something the empty headed mainstream media sources understand. If you don't wish to be a victim of the aforementioned scenarios where coin loss occurs, then avoid making use of centralized services, it's that simple. If you allow whatever entity to 'take care' of your coins, you'll be operating completely at that entity's mercy. You're a slave just like how people are a slave of the banks controlling their wealth.

If it was in fact a hack then the police needs to get involved since it is one of the greatest thefts ever however they cannot get back those coins the same way they can do with money from banks accounts and it is not as easy to track the people that committed this crime, also this is not like jewelry that is marked and makes it more difficult to sell if it is stolen, so it is going to be very difficult to get that money back.

100% agree if the blockchain lacks the require tight security all coins with the same algos should have been hacked long ago this kind of news only happens once in a blue moon or rare, so it is better for us to look for a better exchange that guarantees security to their network, even banks get robbed.

First of all why do you bring this old article we all know what happened on Mt. Gox exchange if you know what really happened i suggest read it on coindesk not on RT and also you are wrong that 650k bitcoins lost on the blockchain they are still on circulation although it is still on possession of the hacker but that is not lost. The lost coins happens when someone forgots the password of bitcoin wallet or wallet.dat which not recoverable by any means.

There is a difference between lost and stolen (it may be the same for the one who lost his Bitcoins but the impacton the market is not the same).
Lost Bitcoins will make BTTC pice rise because the circulating volume will be reduced while stolen Bitcoins will not affect the market because it will be used and sold by someone else.

The bad news is for bitcoin and the crypto market. Again I advise you not to believe too much on these rumors. They will affect your mood in investing in the altcoins.
Although that fact is true, that error rarely happens. And another cause is theft. After the incident, I think the staff had to work hard to create a better protection system. Always think positive if you want to get rich.

If your bank was hacked, would you suddenly lose faith in fiat currency? Would you suddenly convert all your fiat currency into bitcoin? No, I highly doubt it. People need to stop blaming bitcoin, it isn't bitcoin that is vulnerable to hacking, it is the exchanges that don't properly secure their assets. Similarly bank heists used to be much more common until precautionary measures were taken. A few events like this will make bitcoin stronger, as security protocols around its storage are bolstered.

The coins are still stored in the Blockchain, they just shifted from their original address to another address not owned by the account holders on the MtGox exchange. You cannot remove any coins from the Blockchain, but you can mix the coins up a little that they cannot be traced back to the original owner.  ;)

As a matter of fact, you might be using some of the coins that was stolen in the MtGox hack.  ;D The exact same thing happens with cash, you will never know where that cash was, before it reached you.

It is likely that those bitcoins were converted into something untraceable like monero. Once it has been laundered the trail goes cold and with all these new decentralised exchanges it makes it even more difficult to track

It is just a known number from single source but the real number of lost Bitcoin is much more than this number. We don't have the mass awareness regarding the usage precautions while using cryptocurrencies and hence some people make mistakes resulting in a irrecoverable loss. Even there are theories claiming that Satoshi's Bitcoins are lost but that must be the different case.

Any exchange or other service that loses coins due to theft or loss of data, is simply the result of how incompetent or shady the service or exchange is concerned.

Is this a joke? 16-17 million is almost all the coins that are mined at the moment. I heard that the lost are considered about 2.5 million bitcoins. Bitcoin theft from the exchange is the result of management incompetence. That's why I never keep my coins on exchanges. I keep in the refrigerator and send to the exchange only when I need to make an exchange.

As far as I know, the funds from Mt.Gox were stolen and are now kept by someone. The biggest problem now is the inadequate security of crypto-exchange platforms and I believe that project developers must take care first of all of security before launching. As soon as the developers start to protect their projects normally we will be able to see the active growth of the crypto currency.

If many peoples want to buy bitcoin but the circulating supply is low, then bitcoin price will increase over time.
