Once a huge exchanger like Bitfinex fails, there will be a run on exchangers. Nowhere is safe. Never keep coins with an exchange, even if your uncle is the CEO.
It's amazing that not more people realize the complexity is by design and intended to be so. There is a thriving AWS consultancy business that relies on AWS being overly complex. This in turn incentivizes hundreds? of thousands of consultants to push AWS to their clients over simpler solutions.
The innovation part is how this Go store has the power to bring healthy snacks into general convenience stores and gas stations and getting the disease causing ones to be pushed out.
The innovation in rethinking the convenience store is not only in the technology, but also the fact that they're likely going to not sell nasty gas station snacks.
This is not going to matter one single bit. US authorities will claim they have evidence or reasonable suspicion that Tether funds were converted to coins that were later sent to addresses believed to be under the control of US-based exchangers. Money laundering raids 101.
Tether will end up being the pretext US authorities use to raid various exchangers. It's coming folks. Do not leave your coins at an exchange wallet, ever.
What I find interesting is not this screenshot, but the fact that most commenters here don't even question if we are being told the truth as to what happened. Yet here we are talking about UI/UX.
Putting my tinfoil hat for a minute, I suspect that it was well known and in use by various 3-letter agencies for years, and somehow they got wind of a foreign nation either exploiting this as well or about to expose it publicly. Their only move was to let a respectable entity like Google "discover" it.
My prediction is that Coinbase will be raided by FBI/SEC for one reason or another in 2018. Leading reason IMO is a manufactured or actual link to terrorism financing they will use as pretext. Never ever keep coins in an exchange wallet.
