I read the news toward the beginning of today, This demonstrates security is critical and ought to be given careful consideration, and there were a ton of trades that were hacked by programmers. Nonetheless, Bithumb said that they have auspicious forestalled and taken measures, the cash stolen will be come back to Bithumb financial specialists, so the harm isn't too extensive. I likewise find that the effect of this to Bitcoin isn't too enormous, even the cost of BTC is somewhat positive, trusting that the market will before long return.

I question it impacts Bitcoin and altcoins, this is a little hack in the fantastic plan of things. Notwithstanding when the 500m hack happened not long ago, I don't think it affected Bitcoin much. These occasions are free of each other. In any case, if there was a hack of Bitcoin, at that point definitely Bitcoin would fall to close nothing.

It won't make much of a difference in the market. $30-$100 million is nothing compared to the billions of dollars under the market circulation. If it news happened to be legit, it is the bithumb's fault and it shouldn't affect the crypto world. It is an unfortunate event but we have heard worst. We should be worried if there are multiple events like this in a short amount of time.

Do you think it will affect the price of Bitcoin (altcoins)?


     These two Hacking incident was really affect the price of bitcoin and altcoin, one hacking incident was happened in south korea namely coinrail exchange and second is Bithum that is why we have a price crash of cryptocurrency as of now , but many crypto analyst are very positive to their thoughts that bitcoin will reach $25000 before year end, so we hope that market will recover soon .

Again, this would be a new fact that storing assets in an exchanger is not very secure.
I suspect there is a big scandal lurking every asset stored in major exchanges.
save on wallet hardware it is a good solution nowadays. Angry

Yes, the market will be affected by the hacking attack. I am pretty sure thats why the price of the market as of now is very low. I believe it is the work of the hacker selling the tokens he hacked from the bithumb. I am terribly sorry for those traders and also in bithumb who lost a lot of tokens.

Right, its really sad to hear this kind of news because (1) the market price will definitely affected, (2) sad to hear our fellow traders losing money because of the hacked. Imagine working hard for that money and the hackers will simply take that away. But I heard that Bithumb is going to compensate those who have lost so its a good news for all of us.

If you want to spread the story then it should be shared with links to convince everyone about the news, if that's the case I'm sure the price drop depends on what coin they stole, the platform they control I hope can solve it quickly after it happens, causing an uncertain panic just to add riot after market conditions like this, hopefully not many impacts that occur.

The prices are affected a little bit, from $6,700 fell to $6600. But this is a very small drop given bitcons are dealt in billions and only a few million dollars hacked will not result in a major deflation of prices. Hackers will always find holes and the only way to prevent it is by tighten up the security.

Hackers have begun to attack the exchange instead of profiting through market speculation, indicating that the market is very bad and they will turn to the use of illegal means to profit. I think it will soon reach a new low. The price will go down. More people will leave. Then it will be winter.

I read the news this morning, This shows that security is extremely important and should be paid more attention, and there were a lot of exchanges that were hacked by hackers. However, Bithumb said that they have timely prevented and taken measures, the money stolen will be returned to Bithumb investors, so that the damage is not too large. I also find that the impact of this to Bitcoin is not too big, even the price of BTC is a bit positive, hoping that the market will soon return.

Yeah bithumb did actually get hacked and coins were indeed stolen. The affects were immediate but wasn't devastating. The price was going up and reached $6,700 but this hack kinda put a stop to it and the price fell down to $6,550. This is going to be temporary.
These hacks are becoming a common scenario sadly. Hope we develop further more so we don't have to be facing such trouble any more.
At least the bithumb company has already taken a right step to prevent the majority of traders and investors are feeling panic caused by that hacked case, It looks like the bitcoin and altcoin will be stable or this time it is getting a slightly increase after the downtrend caused by the hacked case of bithumb

Is this news real or just a rumours around the internet. I would like to know more information regarding the theft of Bitcoins and how did they planed all those things. But i don't think theft of 30 million USD is going to affect the crypto market or it is going to affect the people. Crypto market is really a big one and here there will not be any affect on the prices due to theft until the theft is a big one something around 10 billion USD or more and i hope this is never gonna happen in lifetime and i don't wish to see this kind of theft to happen.

It wont affect price of bitcoin but might just affect the prices of those coins which were stolen as hackers will eventually dump those coins and thus the prices will decrease dramatically.

I dont think it will affect bitcoin at all because few hundred millions is nothing as compared to the market cap of total coins and bitcoin itself. It is really a scratch over the global economic cap. So pretty sure about that and also if Bithumb is going to cover the losses then everything seems to me normal here.

I don't know that it will affect or no. But we also doesn't know what cause the market go down in this year. Maybe it's because ICO ban ads, but it's was old news and I also think that it good because no more people will involved with SCAM ICO. Many people say that it because manipulated but it's not certain. Why I'm say that? I think it's because the market fall drastically and there is nothing any reasonable reason for it.

I don't think relatively minor hacks are responsible for the declines in coin prices. The one thing that overshadows everything right now and affects all coins at the same time is the on going debate about what is appropriate regulation. This is currently the main driver of sentiment and consequently coin prices.

The market capitalization of the whole cryptocurrency is too big for $30 million and it will not affect that much

Bithumb has lock withdraw,  i think they can roll back if the hacker still now withdraw money. It's true that 30 million is not too big, but it makes investors lose confidence in exchange and especially is crypto

Today, virtual currencies have actually reached the bottom, so they do not face further decline in value, despite hacker attacks and other negative news. Now bitcoin is at a natural minimum of its value. It has only one way - up. I believe that first bitcoin should be fixed above the level of 8500 USD, then go through a serious level of resistance at around 10 thousand dollars. And after overcoming the level of 11300 USD, the cost of bitcoin will start to grow rapidly.

A lot of hacked has happened with crypto, which makes investors not believe in this market and I think the market will continue to fall much in the coming weeks  Cry

These hacks have become very common now a days. I don't understand why these big exchanges are not implementing the security it needed to prevent such attacks. Bithumb is sixth largest exchange as per daily volume of trading and reading the news of such a big exchange getting hacked spreads uncertainty in the mind of investors. I understand that they are going to pay entire hacked amount to the wallets but still these things shouldn't be happening at all.

I'm really sorry to hear that, These hacking things make me feel sad. When the uninformed people see these hacking events, they are scared to invest in cryptocurrencies.

When that "FUD NEWS" is everywhere in the media, in the forum, in the group, I said that's just a FUD NEWS to make the fear is bigger. The price is not down much. Up to this point, the notice is taken down. I believe the market will come back soon. HODL Cheesy

It wont affect price of bitcoin but might just affect the prices of those coins which were stolen as hackers will eventually dump those coins and thus the prices will decrease dramatically.

I dont think it will affect bitcoin at all because few hundred millions is nothing as compared to the market cap of total coins and bitcoin itself. It is really a scratch over the global economic cap. So pretty sure about that and also if Bithumb is going to cover the losses then everything seems to me normal here.

This hacking Incidents in Exchanges are unusual but it serves a warning that they must put the platform security more effective to combat this treat its a disturbing news but it was associated with the saying " NO SYSTEM is SAFE so its means every high profile platforms likes Exchanges must put its cyber security more effective. But for the question that it has affect the price of Bitcoin I don't think so as we all know this Hacking incident is not new so it wont affect.

You are right, 30 million is nothing, but it increases the untrustworthiness of the whole cryptomarket..

Don't spread FUD. $30m is really nothing. It's an unfortunate situation and should spread some fear but it should not be blown out of proportion. The whole market is worth many billions, $30m isn't going to make any difference whatsoever.
