This is really your fault. Btce has been always a shady exchange. A catastrophe in the making. I do use it because they offer lots of USD withdrawal options and are lax with the rules but if I was selling to hedge my bitcoin value and I don't want to go with the identity verification I'll use bitfinex/kraken/bitmex. The latter is not an exchange but recently their quarterly future is solid enough for 20-40k.
Well, while it has russian ties (racism much?), it is still one of the biggest exchanges that has had no major outages / hacks (well, some) / scams since the start. And the hacks that happened was quickly reimbursed to all users. I already did the identity verification there years ago, no issues at all with that either. So there was really no good reason to mistrust them, and I do believe they are making everything they can to get up and running again.. But if several million USD is stolen, who knows if they even can.
And yeah, it's definitely dangerous to move your coins out of cold storage and I knew the risks, I'm just bummed it gets hacked the moment I move funds outside of my wallet for severals years. My usual luck.
