Since bitflixnet got hacked and lost 120 btc (around 70million USd) and everyone had lost their savings too, the result price of bitcoin fall down about $200 and today it recover to $600 again, is it related to this reimbursed even a little bit? At least giving back fund to customer that what everyone waiting for,  they who get lost of it waiting full recovery payment.

Looks like the hacked has dumped all the coins on the last weeks since the attack, because market is reacting and waking once again, i keep trust poloniex and 80% my funds are there, we need to trust into something otherwise panic will happen at same time and those would be insane.

Everytime an exchange is hacked people will lose money and no matter how many of them lose something you will hear them. A website could take bets about the next hacked exchange 

Sadly that's true for now, but I'm sure that in the future someone will find a way to prevent hacking or at least to prevent losing big amounts of money in case of hacking. For the time being we shouldn't keep significant funds on any site.

They should use cold storage for 100% safe, but they were silly to trust 3-multisig wallet, they trust 3rd party, that's not the correct way to store bitcoin.

yeah, i trust only offline wallets that dont get internet on them, then it is actually really impossible to hack it and it is way safer

I'm not sure how giving funds back to users could increase the price exactly , since lost funds should give the price a boost as there will be less available supply while bringing BTC to circulation to more people will cause to having more supply and decrease price

Once again , Bitfinex has been hacked and I just want to ask you people , have you learned the lesson yet ? I assume not otherwise you wouldn't keep your funds in an exchange (I'm not speaking with those who kept their bitcoin for short period of time , those accidents happens but I'm mostly speaking for those who had their bitcoins laying there for weeks/months)

I'm not trying to be rude or anything but for the last time , please ... please ! Just withdraw your funds from exchanges . I'm not sure what you got to lose here , this procedure will only secure your coins and make you safer.

People never learn, you said "I assume not otherwise you wouldn't keep your funds in an exchange (I'm not speaking with those who kept their bitcoin for short period of time , those accidents happens but I'm mostly speaking for those who had their bitcoins laying there for weeks/months)".

Do you remember the mt.gox case? I know some people lost few hundreds/thousands bitcoin on gox and they have also lost few hundreds of bitcoins on bitfinex. 
This is why I said people never learn:).
