DO NOT store your coins on an exchange!

Mt. Gox was hacked
Bitstamp was hacked
Poloniex was hacked
Vircurex was hacked
Bter was hacked
etc.


And now: www.bter.com

7170 BTC got stolen from our cold wallet in this transaction:

When will people learn that you DO NOT store your coins on an exchange?
Transfer, trade, then withdraw your coins to your own wallet asap! Always.


My guess: People will never learn, they are too used to think about saving money as giving it all to a bank.


hint: by hacked I mean that the exchanges said they were hacked, which can mean different things.
