When Mt. Gox collapsed in 2014, some 650,000 bitcoins were lost. While it was a rather big sum four years ago, it is now worth $5.2 billion. Another big failure may result in a total loss of confidence in the cryptocurrency, resulting in an exodus to fiat money and commodities.

Last week, $500 million in NEM cryptocurrency were stolen, adding more concerns about the lack of security of investing in cryptocurrencies.

650,000 Bitcoins got lost from Blockchain ??

We are in the early stages of the cryptocurrency technology so it is like the Wild West in some ways. Many exchanges are at risk of thefts and hacks and the exchanges themselves can steal our money with little recourse and very little chance of us getting our money back. This is especially true since these exchanges are international and mostly unregulated. It’s up to us to make sure we secure our investments.

Hardwork would have taken place had it not been for this story with the exchange of Coincheck $ 534 million were stolen due to a failure of NEM blockchain. But since this issue is caused by gaps in the security system of Coincheck, a failure of the team NEM was fair.

Well they were not lost but they were stolen.
There is an estimation of 1.6 - 1.8 million Bitcoin that is truly lost forever because the wallet owner forgot about their wallet and deleted it or the hard drive that contains the wallet is damaged.

Who can really put their faith in the Bitcoins now this is happening.  And not a word said about it anywhere.  Things will have to change.  Unless this is fake information.  But no way of telling whether it is or it isn't/

They were not lost, they were stolen. About the stolen NEM tokens - it was the exchange fault, not the blockchain.

They did not call the POLICE   Huh

High fees = low BTC price

Ripple offers some protection against theft because real people are behind it instead of a hidden development team
who main task was to keep miners rich and now they have developed the lightning network so the
miners can run banks "Off-Block"

You can all keep the argument that Ripple is ran by bankers given these conditions we find ourselves in
today and Ripple fees are next to nothing so for these reasons I would recommend XRP to anyone that just wants
to learn how to use digital wallets.

Good job Bitcoins are not linked to much real money and is fire walled using fake USDT that is the
only new demand we are seeing in this casino because it's fake money and is not backed by real $USD
and is the king-pin that will bring the house of cards crashing down.

Yes the Mt. Gox were not lost but stolen ad previous poster pointed out, if you look deep the web for tracking tools, you can see where they went, and are now. NEM was exchange fault too. There are of course many dust and forgotten about accounts and wallets, this is where the real loss is - I saw some time agon a transaction with 100 BTC as the fee, and 0.001 as the transaction - oops - the miners did well that day. It is scary to see how many BTC and ALTs are lost, never to be redeemed again.. It is also a great lesson to us all to hold what is dear true.
