Bitcoin enthusiasts are calling to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Bitcoin's genesis block by withdrawing all their crypto assets from exchanges and testing their holders for strength.
January 3, 2019, 10 years later, let's all move our BTC out of exchanges and into wallets we control. Давайте посмотрим, кто потерпит неудачу, давайте посмотрим, как работает сеть .
Такая публикация на Reddit, по-видимому, обобщила все недельные слухи о планах провести скоординированную компанию по проверки на прочность криптобирж 3 января, начиная примерно в 4 часа по лондонскому времени.
Кто стоит за постом и координирует эту инициативу, не очень понятно, да и не все называют это хорошей идеей. Without a reliable hardware wallet, it is unsafe to store crypto assets.
On the other hand, crypto platforms are increasingly causing mistrust and complaints from traders. And although among the crypto exchanges there are leaders in anti-rating, MT Gox and BTC-e, none of the major platforms has yet been caught in a serious crime, although suspicions and rumors are always present on the network.
How exactly this will work is not very clear, because exchanges usually use a two-tier system. They have a hot wallet that holds approximately 5-10% of all funds. And they have “cold” storage, where most of the funds are in systems that are difficult to hack.
One might assume that a coordinated withdrawal of user funds from exchanges would empty hot wallets first, but this would say little about the exchange’s holdings of crypto assets. She can always refer to cold storage and additional time for transferring funds from it and the suspension of trading.
One of such interesting cold wallets that is causing increased attention from the crypto community is considered to be the Bitfinex cold wallet. Usually it shows small signs of life, but for more than a month there has been no activity on it, despite high market volatility and an increase in trading volume.
In any case, it is not yet clear whether the call for verification of the solvency of crypto exchanges will be implemented and what its true purpose is. Check the availability of crypto assets at the exchange or force the bears to withdraw cryptocurrency and stop trading, carrying out a market correction?
