Casualty List

[MingLee]

Jesus, 229! I bet I couldn't name 229 legitimate Bitcoin businesses. With a history like bitcoin has it's a wonder anyone uses it at all.

Everyone says that fiat has a lot of theft and crime too, bla bla bla. Duh, of course it does. It's been used by everyone in the world for hundreds of years. Bitcoin is six years old and has a little over a million users and it rivals any major theft in fiats history.

A lot of this is because of the unregulated nature of the Bitcoin economy. With (mostly) no consumer protection along with no laws regulating the standards of safety for exchanges and business security, there is a severe chance that there can be major heists, and we see this playing out in the market with many high-profile robberies, as you stated.

I'm far from agreeing with the point that it's a wonder anyone uses Bitcoin. There's a number of reasons.

i dont know why    Silk Road is mentioned here as it is an illegal market and FBI confiscated the said 127.4 million dollars and not hacked ,so you included illegal markets too for this list and i think the rest of the them are cloud mining which is infact scam ones and hacked exchanges.

Even if it was a market where illegal things were sold, at the end is still a market and it failed, we know the reason for that but does it matter? For the purpose of this thread which is to post all the failed bitcoin business I think the answer to that is no.

I do not know why but I have a feeling that most of these "hacked" or "taken down" websites (except for the ones taken by governments) were simple scams, just like Bitfinex. I mean come on, how hard is it to just take away your money with you and pretend that your website had been hacked? Without any proofs (just ANY proof) showing us that it wasn't them, I can't trust some words like "we reward any info we get about the hacker" - how are we even supposed to get info about the hacker(s) if we have absolutely 0 details? Just an opinion.

an inside job from an individual working there maybe, but to set this up with the scam as end goal is hard to belief. they should be able to make a living with such a business, so why risk it all? sure you get one huge payday, but you will also be watched from now on and have to be cautious how you spend your money. you do not want that.
