I know I shouldn't but I don't leave large sums of funds on their so I won't be devastated. It is a horrible habit to have and I will try to not do this and use more security with my coins.
well, it's a tough decision. if it's important to you to hedge against a downtrend, it becomes more than just the security of your funds, and not just as easy as sending coins to a cold wallet. |

Agreed a lot of thought and planning goes into trading in my experience as a novice trader. When you consider the risk of loss funds and fees it all makes sense for someone just playing around to leave small amounts on different exchanges. For Others who deal in larger sums I'd think there is some serious decision making taking place. |

Exchange is important part of the bitcoin ecology system. If exchange has no trust, then bitcoin has no trust. |

Exchange is important part of the bitcoin ecology system. If exchange has no trust, then bitcoin has no trust. I agree with the first sentence. But the second should be nuanced. Would you deposit your fiat to you local currency exchange and trust them hold it for you? I wouldn't. I trust them to convert my USD to EUR. The same applies to exchanges... I put in fiat x (say US dollars) and get out bitcoin. Or vice versa. I trust them to do this, but I will limit the risk by withdrawing immediately. I do not trust them to hold my belongings for long. Also bitcoin has trust even without exchanges. I will still be able to buy a pizza with it! |

Yes, up to certain amounts. Coinbase I would trust up to 5k USD. Bitstamp and BTC-E I would barely trust, maybe like 1k USD. Only what I'm willing to lose.

Maybe yes, for some exchange. But, I prefer with cold storage. Everything can happen in the future, and we will never know.

If there were no exchanges, bitcoin might still have trust, but it would likely lose a lot of its value/usefulness. I'm not sure how many businesses would accept bitcoin as a form of payment if they couldn't readily convert to fiat...probably not many. |

No, it is a very bad idea to trust your money to an exchange. You are just asking to get scammed.

I think trust my bitcoin on HUGE exchanger like BTC-E, Bitfenix, Bitstamp BUt i just put them BTC to sell not to put them permanently I don't trust exchanges anymore.
If there was no exchanger, BTC won't success. and altcoin never born |

I would never trust all my coins with any, or even a mixture of exchanges.
Buying and selling locally is better anyway because it makes the local bitcoin ecosystem stronger

Not much about the age of an exchange. Looking at mtgox, even though they were around for many years, they eventually collapsed in the end. An exchange may be old but they are still exposed to the vulnerability which exist in the exchange. A good exchange would be one who does regular checks on security, though you still cannot trust them too much. |
