    ...which could see investors losing everything due to a lack of regulation.
    .."I think that's one of the things that a lot of consumers don't understand, that the cryptocurrency held on the exchange is not theirs in the same way. They don't have direct control over it," said RMIT Blockchain Innovation Hub's Aaron Lane.

    nothing will scare away the cryptocurrency investors.

    BTC is still strong at 49000.

    last time I checked people who speculate or invest in stock or shares.... although individual brokers wen't belly up the exchange itself have not
     
  4. What percentage of all crypto has been lost on an exchange? Not much. And it's easy to remove this risk as an individual: Just move your crypto off the exchange and into a personal wallet.

  5. They say "investors losing everything due to a lack of regulation"; the global futures trade room industry is massive and unregulated as well (outside of FINRA, SEC or CFTC; 1;Melin HM, High-Performance Managed Futures: The New Way to Diversify Your Portfolio, Wiley Inc., Appendix 5, pg. 268, 2010).

    the % lost must be very low. That's why the BTC didn't drop massively.

    I am not sure if the personal wallet is a safe place.

    anyway, cryptocurrency trading systems have been known to be of
    very low security despite the 'high-security' blockchain technology.
    investors should have gone to the regulated exchanges.
