do people feel safe keeping $10k+ on bittrex account, even with 2fa? I know i would have anxiety all day thinking about possible hacks if i had that much on there. I know it's always better to have shit stored on an offline wallet but it's way less hassle buying and selling shitcoins if you just keep your shit on there. Is it pretty safe if you have 2fa activated?

What if you just stay logged in? surely can't get hacked then right?

why don't you turn on 2fa?
I currently have $10k on my HDD and another $10k on Bittrex, at worse I lose half and I treat it all like play money because I started with $20.

"Don't leave money on the exchange" is a meme.
People just as easily lose all their money because they put it in a separate wallet and then lose their keys to the wallet.

And if you do that to coinbase they think you are suspicious and force you to close your account.

>"Don't leave money on the exchange" is a meme.
It's not a meme though. You don't actually cryptos on the exchange. There's no secret key to get your money if they go under.

You HAD $2k on polo ;)

That's my other favorite meme: "If you don't have the keys then the coin isn't yours!"
Yes, and gov't can take your house anytime so it isn't yours. The money in the bank is just numbers stored in a database you don't have the keys to, so it isn't yours. You can slip on a banana peel and hit your head and die at any moment, so your life isn't yours.

It's not a meme, people who aren't careful with their keys deserve to lose what they have. If you do take care however you have all the control over your funds

Very true, easy to have a wallet and create a simple backup on at least one secondary device. Only newfags don't understand how exchanges have been hacked or closed up shop running with funds. Coinex, mtgox, mintpal, cryptsy, etc.
