It is not a matter of Bitfinex now, don't trust any third party with your BTC, if you are looking to keep your fund on exchanges make sure you move it to not less than 3 exchanges so you know when one is hacked you won't lose all your money

After an hack and you get be a victim or have one around you, I bet you won't trust them. Some do not believe it was a hack but inside job. Now people don't even trust any exchange with their bitcoin, they will rather spread it into exchanges to reduce loss in case of hack at any exchange

The same comment as neochiny. Do not trust them and do not ever store your Bitcoins in that exchange. Or in any exchange for that matter. Sooner or later some of them will get hacked or worse, might run away with your Bitcoins. That is common knowledge among Bitcoiners. Anyone who rebuts that statement is either a shill or a person who is lying.

I added some btc to Bitfinex but then I heard that it was hacked recently.

Is this exchange still trusted? What are your thoughts?
Well if you are doubt on bitfinex because of hacking issue, more better don't use their service and personality i am believe on them because they have fixed the bugs on their service.

I, for one, no longer trust it. They "lost" a staggering amount of over 119,756 BTC

So, even if it was indeed a "hack", as they claim, I wouldn't place my money somewhere that managed to lose about $100,000,000 of their customer's funds.

I know that hacks happen and that this is not the first, nor the last, but whether or not they are to blame, it's still a fact that those funds are now gone. As for the "Shared loss" and those BFX tokens?  Undecided Lips sealed

They still have some volume though, so that might suggest there are still some who trust them.  Can't speak for others,

all I know is I don't trust them and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
