Bitcoin Wednesday Amsterdam #159

Bitcoin Wednesday Edition #160

This edition of Bitcoin Wednesday meets at the Cafe on the first floor of the Stadschouwburg on Amsterdam's Leidseplein on 4 November.

Tonight's theme: Aftermath of the Binance Hack

Despite the greatest cryptocurrency heist in history with an estimated impact of $6.3 billion lost by the Binance cryptocurrency exchange, Bitcoin continues to operate safely and as usual.

A cryptocurrency exchange is a company separate from Bitcoin, with its own security practices.

This incident isn't Binance's first, and it isn't alone. Exchanges generally aren't considered safe for long-term crypto storage. People who leave their funds there do so at their own risk -- and many have learned that the hard way.

Meet us on 4 November at 19:00.
