I only keep about 10% of my Bitcoin in an exchange. I don't really trust exchanges with my Bitcoin.

You lead and I'll watch you walk away.
0%. I deposit some coins when I want to trade, do the trades and immediately withdraw them, so my coins are only there when i need them to be there.

Same here. It's too risky. I learned my lesson - you can't trust Bitcoin exchanges.

What do you mean? You put your bitcoin there and immediately take out your fiat. Don't wait for anything.

100%.  Otherwise impossible to trade with sell orders.

It depends, when i want to do some trading, i can have more than one bitcoin on exchange, but i withdraw them to my computer wallet when I finished the trading.  I don't feel save having more than 0.50 Bitcoins on exchange. We saw before that some exchanges were hacked or scamed their users, MtGox, Cryptsy ...

In the past, I've never kept more than a couple bitcoin. Well, except in the early days when it wasn't worth much.

No more than 1-2 BTC. i wouldn't advise anyone to hold more than that in an online wallet.

Hey everyone,

Just wondering, what percentage of your total funds do you usually keep at a single exchange?

I mean, what is your risk mitigation strategy, considering the many exchanges that went kaput?



This can be really different from one person to another. I personally don`t keep more than 2BTC in a single account. In fact, this is my top limit to risk on trading.

I see.

Actually what I'm wondering is how people relate to risk. I mean, what percentage of your total funds is 2BTC?

If it's 10%, for example,  that means you are very conservative. If it's 80% then you're a serious risk taker...

That's the kind of idea I wished to apprehend from btc community.




In my case, this is actually %100 percent. But percentage of total funds being used on trading doesn`t exactly mean the person is a big risk taker. It has a lot to do with what you are investing in. I personally wouldn`t buy any altcoin that does not have huge volume on the market. So, it is less likely to make huge profit when you are not investing in a brand new altcoin which you think has a great potential in the future. I hope i explained my point clearly.

The % of your money you put on something is what dictates how risk averse you are. Even if you're 100% sure of some investment, it's still risk and we should always diversify.

I don't keep more than 1/4 of my invested coins at a single exchange, or wallet, or anything. That's how I'm willing to loose in case some shit happens, it wouldn't take up my sleep.
