Bloomburg reporter Yuji Nakamura:
Main takeaways from Coincheck press conf:
- only NEM impacted
- plans to continue operating, restart trading
- not clear on plan to repay customers
- no multisig💀
- wouldn’t admit security was weak
- not sure how hacked, if domestic or foreign hackers
- CEO barely spoke

It's hard for me to believe that after all the exchange thefts we've seen in the past several years, that someone would still keep that much crypto in a hot wallet.
It's almost seems like these guys were begging the "hackers" to come and steal their users' funds.
“ Never trust a centralized exchange “
I am planning to move all my money under my mattress :D
Do you trust your home beloved pets ?
Good point! I am suspicious of him now :D
Never trust an exchange. Bittrex disabled my account and despite verifying and doing all the steps told after 3 months Im still waiting for them to enable my account access.
I think Bittrex is going through liquidity issues perhaps got hacked or loss heavily in trading so to maintain liquidity they are disabling random accounts to prevent getting busted.
I recommend to take your money out of exchanges specially bittrex and keep it in your own wallets.
I learnt the hard way!
I am a subscriber of your youtube channel. I think your content is excellent. Especially that Charles Hoskinson 3 hr interview was amazing. I can literally see you sweating :)
Nice !

Sad man. Just shows that you should NEVER keep your crypto on an exchange. Its literally a gimme and an easy hack for almost all hackers, even for people who have 2FA. Even the most popular exchange, Coinbase might get hacked and people will still insist to have their crypto sit on the exchange lol. Keep your crypto on an offline wallet like Ledger Nano S so that you don't have to worry about news like this!
Only 530 million dollars? that's nothing. Yeah for sure...
Thats very sad. They are supposed to have enough security. People are investing money there and trusting them. First Bitconnect and now this :(
I really expected a significant dip after the hack. Well...
btw: here are some airdrops for you guys!
