Who is crazy enough?

[RoxxR]

I keep reading advice on how to spread your BTC across several wallets, to decrease the risk of any of them getting hacked.  So can you explain why someone would be crazy enough to put 36,000 BTC in ONE address, as this just happened??

Who told you to spread your BTC across several wallets? Just means you will end up putting less effort into securing each one properly, and therefore increase risk of loss

I think he means several addresses, which is actually a good idea.

My guess, it's probably someone with a lot more that 36,000 btc....

It's up to you how you store them. If you're supersafe then one is fine, but if you're not then loads of addresses will probably be at risk.

Yeah, that's a completely different topic, and definitely a good idea.

When you have just 0.00001 Bitcoin, You feel secure by just encrypting your wallet....

But when you have 36.000 Bitcoins, you will never feel secured...

Actually, you will not be able to sleep...

The best u could be doing, is to Buy a laptop without internet connection, running Linux. Save your wallet there.

Or hire a programmer to develop a System that will spread your Bitcoins in several addrresses being impossible to group it again by a person.

The best thing would be to keep them off a computer all together. If you have many encrypted offline backs-ups then that will be fine.

It is a good idea to spread if you prefer less probability of loosing it all
over
more probability of loosing a part of it.

My choice is always: paper/brainwallets quite spread.
