"Goxed", "finexed". The lesson is clear: Don't have BTC in exchanges whose names sound like they can be turned into synonyms for being tricked/confounded.

Don't get stamped.

So like BTCE is the only exchange which is unlikely to be killed even though it's ran by unknown Russian people in an unknown country?

I find the Irony of this to be very strong. BTC-E is the longest standing exchange without any major problems now, is it not? Were they not before BitStamp?

Yet they are still mired in mystery. It reads like a financial mystery novel.

sound logic - for all intents and purposes they don't exist... goodluck to the slicer who attempts it: IF you can find their server - cloaking-device Russian can see YOU

Any exchange ending in X is trouble. I've compiled a list for you:

Poloniex

Bitmex

Bitrex

Gdax

Cex

Polo is confirmed next exchange to get hacked. Get your coins out.

Well GDAX and Poloniex already have been hacked. So theres that. Being hacked is a vaccine. If it doesent kill ya, it makes ya sick, but it wont happen again! HAVE A NICE DAY

If you don't hold the private keys to your coins, they're not yours.

Dunno because BTCed sounds good but the irony is they have been the longest running, most rock solid, yet shadiest bitcoin exchange ever.

Don't have ANYTHING in exchanges.

I was under the impression that holding USD in an exchange was safe.

It's now looking like I lost my $30,000 USD.

Long story short: keep your cryptocurrencies on devices you can trust, and if you need to exchange them, return them to your devices as soon as possible. Online wallets are not under your control (unless you're literally hosting a server in your house).
