3rd busiest Bitcoin exchange hacked, $5M worth of bitcoin GONE!

it's kind of yellow, a lot like $hit

I love watching the ignorance of those who trash bitcoin.

It reminds me much of the comments that were muttered in the early 90's about the internet.

You will eat your words in due time. :)

Bitcoin can not be hacked. it is IMPOSSIBLE. The 'hackings' are theft from exchanges in which the hackers have discovered a vector to attack the exchange hot wallets.

I've had 10BTC in this address since October 2013. Still hasn't been 'hacked'. I beg anyone to please steal them. Go ahead. Try!!

Alex White Plume endorsing Mazacoin and sovereign tribal nation currencies.

Agreed

Interesting how we ignorant yet nobody can explain what it is other than to say it's complicated. I always thought it was cyber money. If it's not what does it look like?

Secure in relation to anything. Secure is a word that has a false meaning in any context.

$5 million? Don't you mean Zero? I mean the money isn't backed by anything tangible and does not even exist as paper or coin (at least not in its default state). In fact, just like the current money system, it's just digits on a computer screen, and those digits are decided upon by your masters.

So how much is it worth again?

Someone just needs to invent Bitsurance. Problem solved.

It's worth the goods you can purchase with it.

well, right now it's a $5 million dollar puff of smoke.

Hey, I know!!!

Let's build some more nuclear power plants and run them digitally! It's safer and cleaner!!!

Just online stuff like drugs from places on the deep web and oh yea...child porn. Anyone who supports bitcoin also supports kiddie porn.

The fact that it is stolen should awaken people to it having worth...

So prostitutes are still kosher though right.

Dude...if 'they' had offered Bitcoin FREE without any of this absurd mining crap where you have to expend MONEY (through the consumption of energy required to mine the coins) - then I would have signed up. And to be honest I don't care about those people who made a lot of our current dollars in profit from their tradings with Bitcoin - it is still the same CON that the current FIAT money system imposes.

You could feasibly acquire drugs via bitoin, then sell those drugs for cash, and buy food with the cash. I guess if you do it right, you eat and live for free.

Bitcoin is the peaceful revolution and it may be our only option for a true revolution.

It looks like complex mathematics that would take eons to calculate by hand.

It is stupid to do anything illegal with them because every transaction is recorded and everyone has access to the transaction history. If your address is known like the previous poster who identified himself as the owner of that btc address you can watch everything that flows in or out of that wallet. If illegal activity is caught, the block chain is great evidence. Lawmakers are favoring it because it is more traceable than cash, in fact it is entirely traceable.

They have been lured into letting it stay as legal currency, now we must buy them all and throw the dollar in the sea.

Ha! Awesome post bud!

shitcoin

Duh!!!

Is this the part you didn't understand before you bought into it?----->"Bitcoin exchange hacked"

Dumb asses!

Botcoin was exactly like the hippies and hemp. Noone cared about it but the few who used it. The hippies thought it would Change The World and everyone will use it, but noone did but them.

FDIC can't cover all deposits. Bitcoin "accounts" have never been hacked, only the services around them.

more people use USD to buy kiddie porn and drugs than anything else.

You can shop at many places, including ebay, microsoft, overstock and countless others with bitcoin.

PEDO ALERT!!! SHITBAG PEDO!!!! I hope there is a knock at your door very soon! PEDO SCUM!!!

Tomato tomatoe. Misplaced blame from a pedophile. Think his crypto is better than egold..NOT!!

Is it EMP safe?

Bitcoin is exactly like the computer nerds and the internet. None cared about it but the few who used it. The computer nerds thought it would Change The World and everyone will it, and everyone does.


Can you explain what internet is? Hahaha. I was there for this. It is amazing how closely Bitcoin protocol's genius resembles the genius of internet protocol...

THIS

When will you ignorant crunts learn that you don't have to keep your money in an exchange. You can keep your wallet on a completely offline hard drive or USB stick.

JUST LIKE REAL MONEY HURRR DURRR

That's what they used to say about the internet.

But people like you, with the memory of a goldfish, will never learn anything anyway.

That was awesome!

Katie and Bryant...here is the Internet=======>
