traders are addicts
no one is cashing out their bitcoins
Bitcoin offers nothing that cannot be gotten in other markets, that don't pose the almost inevitable risk of having some exchange vanish with all your money.
After being robbed on Kraken, I was resolute that I was finished with Bitcoin for good, and intended to pull all my money off the remaining exchanges, the largest amount being held on Bitfinex...but I was on holiday at the time, but when I got back and was ready to withdraw all my funds, I found out that I had left my mobile phone at my mothers, but that because of the Kraken theft, I had enabled 2FA for my Finex account, but that when I had my mobile phone, I was fearing a market collapse in the 5-6 hours I need to allow (cos Bitcoin is fucking shit) to get my BTC out of Finex and into GBP...etc etc etc....
....an agonising series of 'coincidences' has left me exposed to these latest shenanigans......but it's true, traders are addicts and I have been looking at Forex CFD brokers, and UK stock brokers....had I got out in time, I would have went into something like that.....but since I didn't get out, I now probably don't have the funds to trade.
The day that I first ever heard about BTC, has ended up costing me fucking thousands and thousands of bucks. Believe me when I tell you, I am very capable of turning my back on BTC once and for all, and I won't ever come back to trade it, or anything else that relies on dealing with exchanges that operate outwith the law, that are infested with crooks, and that can basically do whatever the fuck they want.
