Thus far, anything can happen. MT. GOx was the best crypto exchange and the largest. People thought it was legit and it really was... but all it took was one (ok many) insider hacks... and suddenly it went down without allowing too many withdrawals.

I personally think Kraken, Bittrex, and Binance and Coinbase are the safest bets. Poloniex has a lot of FUD, and I'm not really sure if anyone uses it anymore when all the new coins appear on either rex or nance. And Poloniex often has server issues that screws everyone over.

But i really feel like it just takes one really good hack to take down Bittrex and Binance.

Coinbase can get hacked, but it has backing by the federal reserve, so I think it will survive. Kraken seems like a solid exchange too. Kraken was around since Mt. Gox, and has remaind strong without any hacks.

Agreed, even though I have always had my doubt with MtGox in the past as a lot of things just kept flagging up some crazy downsides, I still made use of it anyway.

However, the essence with the MtGox thing is that anything can happen to any exchange like you have said, and it is at least becoming a norm for people to understand not to put their funds in an exchange since they do not have any control over it. Exchanges I believe should survive as long as everything ends up going fine with them, but we cannot see the future.
