That would be interesting to check. I doubt it. I think the losses are way more massive on CEX. Billions at once is hard to beat.
I could be wrong thou... not sure if there is reliable data about losses on web3 but I'll see if I can find something

Ran out of letters 😅 But was gonna add that sure, losses with these hacks are much bigger but losses to web3 users occur WAY more often but since only single user targeted, they rarely make headlines.
Yea thats true. WHich is why I think it will be hard to find reliable data on web3 losses
Exactly. I think very few report those cos there's zero chance of getting lost assets back. So IMO, far more dangerous for newbies. If CEX is compromised, you can still get funds back (like recently with FTX).
Yea
From what I heard Bybit also handled their recent hack pretty well
I read about that as well. Good for them and good for the market. The dust should settle soon.
if CEX is attacked, user funds might still be safe but when a web3 user is attacked, it's game over.During my 7 years in crypto, I've been hacked 3 times, all on web3. Solely for safety reasons, I'd recommend CEXs for newbies to start with
Yea the first part is true actually.
But I'm adamant haha I wouild never recommend storing assets on CEX
My strategy: smaller amounts scattered between CEXs (for leverage trading mostly) and smaller amounts on Web3 wallets (for defi activities), long-term in a cold wallet.
I do the exact same thing
