A survey by an Irish company has found that one in six bitcoin users worldwide lose money to hackers and exchange shutdowns.
The study by the Bitcoin Marketing Team surveyed 770 digital currency users from 68 countries and found that thousands of euros worth of bitcoins are lost or stolen through hackers or with users losing access to their online wallets, according to the Irish Independent.
Jamie McCormick, the coordinator of the survey, said that while individuals stated that they like the freedom of bitcoin, negative feelings still circulate the digital currency. This was highlighted in hacks, exchange shutdowns, and technical issues.

Interesting title as if you are not looking closely and just scan it looks like it suggests bitcoin users lose money to hackers because it is a male dominated market.
