RE: Warning For Exchange Users (Poloniex, Bittrex, etc.) - Exchanges are not safe places to hold coins

in #steem8 years ago

We all remember multiple BTC exchanges hacks. I believe that's a thing of a past. But there is another problem. Selective scamming seems to be occuring on some exchanges where people can't withdraw their bitcoins for weeks as they are being held for some "verifications" - as BTC ever needed a centralized verifications.

Yes, in addition to being an inconvenience, it is a little bit of a caution flag.

I lost my BTC online cloud mining eobot while some other can access to my account and withdraw my bitcoin, i asked support and they just say my account was hacked. keep your wallet offline for safety.
