btw, the question is, why people still use third-partie to hold their btc, as btc has a strong/significant feature for it, and was designed for remove third-partie dependency.JESUS

Lol, in my minds it's a trading site and it's normal for people saving some of their amount in bitfinex, maybe they are very believing with bitfinex and now, the answer to what is the future of bitfinex is answered. more than 110000 btc is lost.

that means the so called "decentralization", libertarian shit, hipsterism and so on.

without rules (using non licensed exchangers), it's wild west.

You might stop the FUD? Becase decentralization means not using the centralized services, let alone holding Bitoins there... You might look at development progress of some decentralized exchanges, instead of blindly using of the centralized ones and complaining when their funds gets "hacked" (or requesting government regulation).

This illegal exchanger (https://www.bitfinex.com/) is hacked. Funds are stolen. Their value is unknown.

http://www.coindesk.com/bitfinex-shuts-down-customer-bitcoin-stolen/

It's so funny when they write "The theft is being reported to — and we are co-operating with — law enforcement." What law enforcement when YOU are running an illegal forex company(without licenses) ?!?! Grin

They are liars and morons...

No wonder the price of Bitcoin just went down. Sad

I think the price is known now. Around 60 million. At least I am not affected. Good time to buy BTC too.

Update,

the funds stolen are 119,756 btc. that means aprox 60 millions USD

Do you think that Bitfinex will cover this amount and it will business as usual?

Definitely not. They only earn on trading fees. I was surprised to even see bitstamp make it back after being hacked for 18K bitcoins. 120K bitcoins is not covereable in any manner. They don't even have assets to continue.

Bitstamp has some investors as backup and 5 MIL are not like 60 MIL USD. Bitfinex is alone and even they have 60 mil, they will never cover this loss. They will close the website and they will live their life without any headaches with the money they earned until now.

I know bitfinex is alone and not insured, however there is still a possibility the fault lies with bitgo from where the funds were stolen. Bitgo unlike bitfinex is insured, but I am not sure how this will all play out. The insurance MIGHT come into play if it happens to be bitgo's fault.

I am not sure if this will calm down someone who has a lot of money in Bitfinex's shit platform

Wait for another 4-5 hours until China will wake up...The price will drop substantially.

Keep it dense, yeah?

There are some significant dumps occurring on various exchanges, order book is looking very thin.

Ugh, I'm glad that I'm not holding any coin at the moment.

Same old shit, different day

Yeah, no kidding!

So is this probably why we've seen a drop in price? Is someone selling for fiat in large amounts, i.e., with the hacked funds?

It is the same thing, different day. This whole "I got hacked" story is threadbare at this point. When are these scunts going to learn?

Everyone knew it could happen. Sorry for everyone involved.

60 mio sounds very close to the DAO thing. Not tinfoil, but currently certain happenings are just very close.

Centralized exchanges have and always will be the weak point in crypto.

110,000 BTC ---- I would say "bye, bye Bitfinex". Nobody will cover this amount !

I would buy a ticket to China for tomorrow morning if I would be a Bitfinex's client

i warned about Bitfinex since 4-5 months ago (see my previous post about it) Roll Eyes

I am more curious about how it happened. Wasn't it on multisig ? How could both the keys have been compromised. The only reason I can think of that happening would be an inside job. Tomorrow will tell.

It was just confirmed by zanet, the amount is around 119K BTC. Terrible loss for the bitcoin community. Lets hope something comes out of legal cases.
