This should be a lesson to all who STILL haven't learned their lesson from MTGOX....DO NOT GIVE YOUR PRIVATE KEYS AWAY!!! I don't know how people sleep with their private keys in someone elses hands.

Sort:  

But how would you trade??.... Ahhh on a decentralized exchange like Bitshares where you not only have the power to trade against multiple asset at lightning speeds but also retain ownership of your funds and private keys at all times :)
Good point. If you dont own the keys, you dont own the __________.

there are a lot of good platforms for trading. But in general you are right.

Well I am day-trading alt and bitcoin, so I do not really have too much of a choice do I ? Well especially since I use automated trading and don't really wanna swap over to another marketplace so far; bittrex is doing a good job.

Then again I'd advise people to withdraw a part of daily earnings to a private wallet. I am also more afraid of people stealing my private data rather than the BTC I use for day-trading. Then again some people might stash way too many BTC in a marketplace
