Explains: The Dangers of Bitcoin Exchanges - $8 Billion GONE

About this episode

Bitcoin Well Explains: The Dangers of Bitcoin Exchanges

"Can't I just leave it on the exchange?" Every Bitcoin beginner asks this. This video answers it directly and permanently. Mt. Gox lost 850,000 Bitcoin. FTX vaporized $8 billion overnight. Bybit lost $1.4 billion in a single hack last year — the largest theft in crypto history. Different decades, different countries, different excuses. Same outcome every time. The people who held their own keys were safe. Everyone else learned a painful lesson.

This video covers paper Bitcoin, rehypothecation, altcoin contagion, regulatory freezes, social engineering attacks, the withdrawal pause signal, and why Bitcoin Well's non-custodial model sidesteps every single one of them.
