What happen with bitfinex??? Some thread with a good resume?
They said they have been "hacked". Months ago. Were you asleep ?
People who still store any amount over there deserve to lose it all. It will happen.
ghdp: I doubt that the Bitfinex situation is as gloomy and doomy as you are making it out to be.
Some people said the same thing about gox.
Other people said it could only end badly.
In the end, people who did not listen lost money.
"Innovative accounting" does not change the fact that they scammed people. One shouldn't deal with scammers. Period.
Yes. You are responding very conclusively about a situation that is much more nuanced than you are making it out to be.
People say all kinds of shit and make all kinds of comparisons and conclusions, but if you fail and refuse to grapple with some of the details then you are likely going to fail to distinguish between situations that are different by over generalizing.
If you acknowledge some of the details of my response, you should recognize that I am accepting that there are some potential for shenanigans going on in the Bitfinex situation, such as an insider job.. and sure you can remain adamant and engage in absolutist thinking, and even if you end up being correct, it is much more likely that you are incorrect.
Since you seem to have a tendency to overreact and overgeneralize, I don't really feel like going back to read your posts, but I suspect that you were one of those who was asserting that bitcoin was going to die because of the bitfinex "hack", and you were asserting that they were NEVER NEVER NEVER going to reopen
(Edit, I did go back and look at a little bit of your post history, and you do seem to have a pattern of providing little to no substance to back up your "contributions" to the forum, and you do seem to be a kind of doomer and gloomer in respect to lack of acknowledgment of the complexity of the bitcoin space and the many players in the space.. hahahahaha... good luck with that perspective in respect to bitcoin
).
Well, I hate to break the news to you that they did devise a plan, they did reopen, they are operating at very similar trade volume levels as they had prior to the "hack," bitcoin is living on and we will find out the extent to which bitfinex continues to be a significant player in the bitcoin space down the road (3-5 years from now, for example).
I suspect that chances are pretty decent that bitfinex is going to continue to be one of the significant players in the bitcoin scene, and they may need to continue to adapt their offerings in order to adapt to the bitcoin space, as bitcoin evolves with further adoption, increasing prices and increasing attacks on vulnerabilities, including attacks on various centralized systems, such as exchanges.
