🚨 FLASHBACK: On this day in 2014, the largest Bitcoin exchange at the time, Mt. Gox, halted trading and went offline after losing ~850,000 BTC in a hack.
The exchange once handled over 70% of global Bitcoin trades, and today its users are still waiting to recover their BTC.
Its collapse gave rise to a defining rule in crypto:
“Not your keys, not your coins.”
A lesson the industry has been reminded of multiple times since, through cases like FTX and WazirX.(Crypto India)
