U may not agree with most of what I say and think about Bitcoin....

......but have u ever known me to actually demonstrably lie?


Fact is, you don't want to believe that I was hacked, perhaps because you don't want to believe that this thing goes on (or indeed is rife) in Bitcoin, and that the exchanges' response is turn around to their customers and say "Fuck you!".

Well, whilst I don't know if I was 'hacked', my Kraken account was certainly robbed, and Kraken have certainly told me that I can go and sing and dance for my money. If Kraken can behave this way towards thier customers with impunity (i.e. their customers are robbed due to shocking security measures on their part, and indeed due to their database being compromised at their end), then all Bitcoin exchanges can, which means Bitcoin exchanges are an insane place to leave funds lying around.......regardless of what Bitcoin is going to do, or not do, in terms of price over the coming months, I think me and Bitcoin trading have come to the end of the line. Even if I were a crack trader (which I am not), what is the point when any number of exchange and/or hacker shenannigans can leave your account empty overnight? Not like this Kraken incident was the first, nor will it be the last. Indeed, it aint even the first time that a bunch of Kraken accounts have been robbed in this way, yet still the people behind Kraken fail to implement even so much as Email verification for withdrawals......these guys need their license revoked (if they had one), and possibly some jailtime.

Meanwhile, I moved to take all of my remaining funds off Bitcoin last night.......but I have since enabled 2FA on my main account (Finex), and I have misplaced my mobile phone......(which is why I never liked 2FA to begin with)......I shall no doubt still keep my eye on Bitcoin, in order to try and test my TA 'skillz' (lol), but from here on out, I am through with trading it until there are exchanges that are reliable, trustworthy, and answerable to the law.
