**Do you still remember the crash that plunged the entire crypto world into a winter?**

In February 2014, a globally renowned exchange suddenly shut down. 850,000 bitcoins evaporated into thin air.

What does that mean? That was over 6% of the total circulating supply at the time—just gone. The day the news broke, BTC prices plummeted like a nosedive, and countless people's accounts went to zero overnight.

Even worse was the investigation result—

This wasn't some high-tech hacker blitz. The platform had been riddled with internal vulnerabilities for years, and nobody cared. So-called "cold wallets" and "multisig"? A joke. The coins had long been siphoned away bit by bit, while the system pretended everything was normal, and users had no clue.

**This incident tore open a bloody truth:**

No matter how big the platform, it can collapse overnight. No matter how flashy the project, it might just be a ticking time bomb. If you put all your assets in one basket, you’re basically entrusting your fate to someone else’s conscience.

What truly keeps you safe has never been the platform’s promises:
- Diversify asset storage
- Keep your private keys
- Stay away from get-rich-quick myths
- Maintain clear-headed independent judgment

History may not repeat itself exactly, but it always comes back in disguise. Every blow-up is a reminder: It's okay to take a calculated risk, but going all-in blindly? That’s just asking to get burned.
