>slight panic kicking in
Should I transfer my money to a private wallet? I figure the chance of my laptop breaking are equally big as the website being hacked

Just keep backups of your wallet then even if your laptop breaks you can still restore your wallet.

Excuse me for the stupid question. But what prevents people from tranferring their money to a private wallet, making a backup on a seperate harddrive, and then transferring their original harddrive bitcoins back to an online exchange and have double the btc?

You do know blockchain is a public ledger right? When you open your wallet it first syncs with the public ledger.

Not stupid. It's genius.

encryption software prevents the copying. when you make a backup you arent actually putting your coins into it. Its more like a kind of restore point that picks up on your info and plops coins in there.
Any transfers or movement are recorded and when you try to restore it will just restore to an empty wallet since you threw what you had on an exchange.
If this shit worked I would have done it already.
