World's First Crowd Owned Cryptocurrency Exchange

There has been recent speculation that coinbene has been hacked of 100 million $ but they have been denying that it was maintenance. You might want to consider adding that to your list.

I advise you to save your assets in your personal wallet, do not keep or hold them for a long time because history can prove that many exchanges have been hacked.

500 mil $ hack in 2018? Damn. I dont know how I missed it. Thanks for sharing.

Im daytrader so i need to store my bitcoins on exchange but i withdraw profit every 0.2 btc.

2018 is really a history itself. Not because it is about to end but because of the endless mischief that happens all throughout the year.

Great profits, I wonder why you share that info Huh

What's the point LOL

Knowing how long the bear did cover the whole market?2018 is the worst ever year for crypto daytrader but a once in a million chance for long term holder because we can purchase in the almost lowest level of prices

But about the repott,i cant believe that Poloniex once become a victim of hacking,but atleast it was a learn from experience no wonder this is the biggest exchange now

Thank you for the list. Based on OP's list, there's must be an exchange that got hacked every year. Decentralized exchange may be more secure than the centralized exchange but the volume there is lower than the centralized. For a daytrader, it much more convenient to store their crypto in exchange but on the other hand, storing crypto in exchange is not that safe.

for binance exchange places now I think that indeed it has very advanced and very responsive developments and there is a lot of trading volume, they also routinely clean coins or tokens that don't have life, binance platform is the best exchange platform for now.

to be honest, I never knew that Mt Gox was an exchange, because I thought it was like a Financial Institution. And more surprisingly, the record of Mt Gox in terms of hacking is truly astounding. Have those who have been in it never learned about the importance of security exchange that must be truly fulfilled? very sad for victims of hacking the exchange above.

I remembered when I was a newbie here, Mt. Gox was the first one of the big exchange on which I had been heard that has been hacked. Actually, when this things was broadcast here it is a big news here in crypto industry. And aside from this, As far as I know Etherdelta also has been hacked more than once too, I just wondered why it didn't list here.

I think it is the combination of hardware wallet and non-custodial exchange that can solve the issue up to a level.

List of top non-custodial exchanges:

Changelly
CoinSwitch
ShapeShift
EverCoin

Have you not heard of Changelly freezing coins and using KYC as an excuse not to hand them over? That doesn't sound very non custodial to me. The only difference between them and a conventional exchange is the amount of time you relinquish control.

Decentralized exchange is one of the solution of this problem, and just now Binance already create one, hopely this exchange will be better and have the same feature like centralized exchange. And if decentralized exchange provide the same feature and more secure, so all trader will prefer to choose that one.

You need to remember the story of etherdelta which is also a decentralized exchange.

But the fact is decentralized exchange can't be working as same as centralized one since there is not much profits for the creator or decentralized exchange where in centralized they can make millions in year.

Now a days it is equally important to keep in mind that sharing KYC documents is risky. As KYC documents are also sold after the hack.

It is a very interesting list, and it is a picture that I consider to be a summary of the events that have occurred since today. Especially if you need to comment on Mt. As a Binance user, it was very pleasing for me not to see the name of the Binance Exchange in the list. Of course we do not know what will happen in the future, but one day I wonder if it will be mentioned in the list of the Binance stock market. On the other hand, to mention the amounts, we can see that very serious figures have been stolen.

That's why saving our asset into exchanges is bad idea, exchanges is the right place to buy/ sell ( exchanges ) only not for saving. This time only wallet is the safest place to protect our asset from hack, as long never share device/ network and always check address link before clicking your asset will safe, trust me.
