Is leaving tokens on exchanges really as risky as people say? Crypto is getting so much attention and money thrown towards it, could the big exchanges really be that untrustworthy?

Don't forget the bad guys now have all the nsa and cia tools. We're only getting started down this magical road.

What do you mean?

>>2231282
hacks bro
>>
>>2231284
If someone could hack an exchange and steal hundreds of millions of dollars of untraceable currency wouldn't they have done it already? Wouldn't it be attempted every minute of everyday?
>>
>>2231308
Do you think this isn't happening?
>>
>>2231313
But there are people who leave hundreds of BTC on exchanges for years, do they just not give a fuck?
>>
>>2231323
Personal wallets can be hacked too
>>
>>2231323
the fear
>>
>>2231328
then WTF do I do? I made 5k off crypto this month (yes, only like 2.25 BTC) which is a lot to me. How do I safe guard it?

>>2231323
2fa makes it nearly impossible

>>2231335
Do you use a bank card?
>>
>>2231348
just coinbase.

>>2231335
buy MOON and bury that money in the ground

>>2231378
I mean in general not in crypto. Credit card or debit card. 87,123 of those get breached daily in the US. You still use one right?
>>
>>2231335
I don't think you're following, anon
>>
>>2231383
But you can just call your provider to refund a fraudulent charge. Pretty sure livecoin won't do shit if it gets hacked?
>>
What about making a cold storage wallet?

Yeah but with CC if you or the bank spot a dodgy purchase it can be reversed. Not so with crypto.

>livecoin
I don't use this one. Honestly there are more reputable exchanges. You should switch to one of them.
