Well said. Media reports 6.5 B stolen. When you subtract the frozen and repatriated funds it's much less. Bitcoin they stole wasn't frozen...

To be accurate, these people did not lose bitcoin they owned. Binance lost their own internal "backing" on IOUs denominated in bitcoin. Customer agreements for redemption of those IOUs are still in force; whether Binance can or will follow through is up to them.

Truth. But damn the FT is allowing comments?

Freedom of money is freedom of mind. You can't think freely when someone else controls your survival.

Its "not your keys not your coins". Always has been and always will be.

The people who need it most aren't the ones debating it on here. They're the ones whose bank account can be frozen or whose savings lose half their value in a year. Thanks for keeping their stories in front of us.
