RE: If you have a Coinbase account: BEWARE because you could lose everything you own, just like I did (help me spread the word fellow steemians!)

in #bitcoin8 years ago

Sorry to hear your bad luck, there are some things you can do to avoid this;
1/ Use a decentralized exchange like Lykke or Bitsquare, you hold a private key so your funds are way safer
2/ Use 2FA but not the text/email type, use an app like Google authenticator
3/ Dont leave your funds on exchanges, keep in a local fullnode or in cold storage devices

I downloaded google 2fa this morning and as soon as I am able to get even half my bitcoin back, I will be using cold storage and those nifty decentralized exchanges!

Cool, on another subject, how did you get 16 upvotes and I got 0?

Uh idk too be honest

No worries, i thought there was some magic you were doing, oh well :)
