sure, there was a kind of DoS attack on Bitcoin last week from Bitcoin Cash. They basically spammed the BTC network with 100k+ transactions driving the transaction fee up to 20$

Then there will be those who come to bitcoin.org to spam other people's posts... Just as hackers have failed hacking bitcoin, they will fail too.

there has been lots of attempts to hack bitcoin, break the cryptography, find the private keys to an address (which is impossible), ... and lots of other types of attempts but all have failed. and will continue to fail because the cryptography that is used by bitcoin is unhackable.

don't listen to the idiots such as @freightjoe who are spreading FUD.

there has been lots of hacks of web wallets, online wallets with no security measures, exchanges and things like that. but none of these are "hacking bitcoin" itself.

To the people who have lost a lot of money it really does not matter what the technical details are. It really does not matter. fact is they bought bitcoin - they got hacked - the money was lost. End of story.

Techno-types like you always end up blaiming the user for anything bad that happens so you can protect your precious ivory tower.

Are you talking about hacks on individual wallets or attacks on the blockchain/devs etc themselves? Anyways, there have been a lot of different hacks, scams and all kinds of other things in the past. We are living in the wild wild west right now.  Shocked

Hackers are just right there waiting for a chance for the right guess of the secret codes. But this is only intended  for personal accounts. Bitcoin System hacking is very rare as hackers knew that its suicide for them. Bitcoin system established with all protection that makes it hard for the hackers to manipulate.

That's not surprising. This is a common situation. One of my friends has been hacked into 10 bitcoins. Hackers hate people, we have to do a good job of wallet backup, try not to use paper wallet, it is easy to leak passwords and keys. My advice is to use the hardware wallet as much as possible.

You need to somehow distinguish between Bitcoin and Blockchain. Blockchain is merely a technology, and can't be hacked as such. Though security may get compromised. However, I'm having a really hard time imagining this will ever happen. Whether or not Bitcoin has been attempted hacked. I have no idea. What I do know, however, is that if anyone should every succeed in hacking Bitcoin core systems, they'd end up with a lot of bitcoins that, by then, would be completely worthless. So a hack of Bitcoin, would render the currency completely worthless, thereby eliminating anyone's desire to do it. People looses their wallets to hacks, disk crashes and the likes all the time. But that's probably more fair to say, that Windows, Linux, Mac OS etc. was hacked, and data stolen.

Techno-types like you always end up blaiming the user for anything bad that happens so you can protect your precious ivory tower.

No one is blaming the user. It's just that saying that "Bitcoin has been hacked" is misleading and exactly the kind of misinformation that leads to people not properly protecting their cryptocurrency holdings. It shrouds the issue in ignorance and therefore disrupts any meaningful discussion about it.
