Only keep what you can afford to lose on the exchanges

I'd say the biggest worry isn't the BTC, it's the fiat.
Sure, I can transfer my BTC off the exchange and send it back quickly if I want to trade. But if I don't want to have fiat on the exchange I have to withdraw them to my bank, which takes 2-3 days. Then, if the price of BTC goes down, I have to deposit the fiat again.. which takes 2-3 days. See the problem?

I have to have fiat on at least one exchange in order to trade efficiently.

Why would you use btc-e there are many much better exchanges out there.
I pulled out of mt-gox and btc-e about a year ago seems to have been the right choice.

Ya, keep your coins off the exchanges. Not smart to leave them there. Keep them long enough there to trade and then transfer.

Yeah just don't leave your coins on exchanges. That's an awful idea from the start.
I've read several people complaining about BTC

What will happen to the bitcoin price of BTC-e shuts down without a warning, and run with your coins?

Who are you going to sue?
Nobody knows which individuals or corporation is behind that russian site.
If it does, it would spell bad news for me since it's located in my country(hint: It's not Russia).
Ukraine?
Bulgaria?
Romania?
White Russia?

Bulgaria is my guess.

Lots of the people are learning what the term "unregulated" really means.

This whole gox story will lead to better, more professional and secure exchanges.
yes now we need some Central Authority which check these all things and some security to this btc because now many scams and few are also waiting for us

quit thinking in the old ways.....    brainwashed to think money is safe in a bank.....  so you think bitcoin is safe on an exchange?   


paper wallets....   flash drives.....      keep your own coins......   if you just leave them on an exchange.....   you get what you deserve

Right now all bitcoin exchanges should be considered as a huge risk.
The best thing to do is to withdraw all coins and fiat from all exchanges.
