It's not so much don't use them as don't put more than you are willing to lose in them. Like how much cash you would take on a night out in a rough part of town.
If i just want a Money-trashbin i can just light the Euros up myself. No need to go through various different points before i have an verified Account on an Exchange and can actually throw my money away.
If i would take money out in a rough part of town i bet you i come back with it or i wont come back at all, i would be prepared to get attacked and would be knowing so in the first place.
I wasn't prepared that somebody that posts about security-yada everywhere has in the end not followed one of his own advices, he even had time todo security-audits on other websites and tell these operators that they dont know shit about security, yet the email-address linked to the hosting company wasnt even using 2FA? That doesnt add up at all.
I wasn't prepared that this whole forum was a long setup con, that the majority of hero/donator/vip users are sockpups/chills of the alleged Scammer and kept on defending him well after he already was known as problematic. In general i gonna stay away from doing any business in this forum whatsoever before this gets fully reviewed by outside investigators. If this involves halting this whole community ... who cares ... obviously not the scammer himself.
- Who beside TF was involved into inputs.io/coinlenders.com creation/maintenance/programming/support/whateverstaff?

- Who are part of his fraudulent trustnetwork?
Let me tell you this otherwise, if you would made up an account on ebay today, and buy something from a seller that has nothing but good reviews ... would you not trust him? I should probably stop trusting anyone at all and just start shooting anyone that looks at me ...
