It is a bad feeling! It is really a bad feeling!
Bitcoin stolen!
You can read regularly a lot of similar stories, Bitcoin exchanges are periodically hacked, you take your precautions and hope it will not happen to you.
However, you know it can happen, right?
But when it actually happen...
It is not easy and I am still trying to accept it.
It is not a great moment for cryptocurrency, with this serious and apparently unstoppable down-trend and then this (one of my account hacked) on top of it.
Briefly the story:
I wanted to buy some Bitcoin Private but they can be bought only on 8-10 exchanges. I picked one of them (HitBTC) and started reading reviews about it. It seemed a bit unreliable but I decided to give them a chance. I made a small deposit and I bought few BTG and BTCP. I moved away immediately the BTG but I decided that it could be kind of safe to keep there the BTCP for a while.
A few days later, my BTCP disappear, it is not even clear to me how the hacker did it. Since I need to confirm through email for withdraw but they bypass that system.
The rage remains, the coins are gone...
The support is non-existent, basically they never reply!
Do as you wish but I recommend to be very careful with HitBTC and personally, I hope they will burn in hell for the eternity!
