Right now all bitcoin exchanges should be considered as a huge risk.
The best thing to do is to withdraw all coins and fiat from all exchanges.

Lots of the people are learning what the term "unregulated" really means.

This whole gox story will lead to better, more professional and secure exchanges.

quit thinking in the old ways.....    brainwashed to think money is safe in a bank.....  so you think bitcoin is safe on an exchange?   


paper wallets....   flash drives.....      keep your own coins......   if you just leave them on an exchange.....   you get what you deserve

If it does, it would spell bad news for me since it's located in my country(hint: It's not Russia).

Yeah just don't leave your coins on exchanges. That's an awful idea from the start.

Ya, keep your coins off the exchanges. Not smart to leave them there. Keep them long enough there to trade and then transfer.

Why would you use btc-e there are many much better exchanges out there.
I pulled out of mt-gox and btc-e about a year ago seems to have been the right choice.

I'd say the biggest worry isn't the BTC, it's the fiat.
Sure, I can transfer my BTC off the exchange and send it back quickly if I want to trade. But if I don't want to have fiat on the exchange I have to withdraw them to my bank, which takes 2-3 days. Then, if the price of BTC goes down, I have to deposit the fiat again.. which takes 2-3 days. See the problem?

I have to have fiat on at least one exchange in order to trade efficiently.

And only put into cryptocurrency what you can afford to lose, not everything you're worth.

This discussion is no even close to actual topic. Everyone just have bad hangover, some even a bit too big and just need to blame the players , not the game. Most of times people lose money they blame companies or banks responsible for it. Not money itself. Bitcoin went a bit too decentralized and spreads around even some other cryptocurriencies too just get shut down. I'm not even sure if it is possible at this point and since it is heavily based on mathematic computing power then actual people, some kind of weird theories about any one holding it all together is rather ridiculus.
