digital currency: the next stage of technocratic tyranny.
Must suck to have millions of dollars of it stolen from places like Mt. Gox...and then knowing they'll never pay you back.
I feel for those folks but you are an idiot if you let the exchanges hold your coins. Kind of defeats the purpose of decentralization. If you are into crypto you need a hardware wallet. Trezor can be had for less than 200. Coolbitx.com has an awesome one but if you order now it does not ship until December.
Place you crypto in a hardware wallet then move a little bit to an account that you can use to spend them. Get a TENX credit card to spend your bits anywhere in the world.
Man I feel old sometimes (I'm in my 30s...)

Got screwed by the MtGox hack. Would be a nice little chunk right now if I still had those coins.
Don't you wish you had you had taken a little of your gold money and speculated on Bitcoin 4-5 years ago
After I posted I thought idiot was probably not the right word but left it in because I wrote it. No offense intended.
What did you lose if you don't mind me asking? Bitcoin only or other currencies?
Damn man thats horrible. Current price is right around $4350. Also, you would have 6.3 bitcoin cash after the fork worth around 300 each.
I almost used Mt. Gox thankfully I didn't. Has this soured your taste towards cryptocurrency?
Bitcoins untraceable...
Or not

It is also easy to see when each ad was posted. “We look at cost of the ad and the timestamp, then connect the ad to a specific person or group. This means the police then have a pretty good candidate for further investigation,” says Portnoff.
Once the police know which ads are of dubious origin, they can call the numbers on them in the knowledge that they might well be linked to crime. “Narrowing down from the hundreds of thousands of ads online will be very useful for law enforcement officers who have to read through so many ads during an investigation,” says Portnoff.
During a four-week period, the research team tried out their tool on 10,000 adverts. It correctly identified about 90 per cent of adverts that had the same author, with a false positive rate of only 1 per cent. One of the bitcoin wallets they tracked down was responsible for $150,000 worth of sex adverts, possible evidence of an exploitation ring.
Thats the thing. There is a certain amount of anonymity but you always leave little bread crumbs that lead back to you. There are ways to remain anonymous however.
