We all know Bitcoin is made so that you can be your own bank, and if handled properly, it's the only way for your money to be really secure.

Nevertheless, I'm sure many of us still have a significant amount of bitcoins on an exchange, for various reasons (because we trade a lot, or because we trust an exchange more than a paper wallet).

Please answer this quick poll : https://fr.surveymonkey.com/s/PPX6WK5

I will update this post to show you the poll results.
(Edit : you can also see the results of the poll right after you answer it. I added Coinbase in the list.)

well, there's no reason to trust an exchange more than a paper wallet. i do trade a majority of my coins on a regular basis. but i don't trust any of the exchanges. i trade on BTCE, Bitfinex, and Stamp, spreading out my funds for the inevitable collapse of another exchange.... just hoping to increase my $ and BTC enough that i'm still a good margin ahead when it happens.

This strategy can still be dangerous as you are vulnerable to hackers.
