PSA: Get your Bitcoin off any exchange supporting "BSV" due to insolvency risk

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>As many are aware, the infamous faketoshi scammer Craig Wright has been on a campaign to use harassment, intimidation, barratry, and fraud to attempt to steal some 1.1M coins that belong to Satoshi and others.</p> <p>In furtherance of this scheme his company just published code for directing the seizure of third party coins in the BSV blockchain. BSV is a scammy bitcoin knockoff that is proprietary software controlled exclusive by Wright and his agents. Users of BSV are only permitted to run the software he approves so they're able to foist their coin stealing code onto their users which would be impossible for legitimate cryptocurrencies.</p> <p>Because of this I believe any user of the BSV altcoin is in serious risk of exposure to network consensus instability or outright having their assets frozen or stolen out from under them.</p> <p>This would be of no direct relevance to Bitcoin users except some Bitcoin exchanges support BSV and so far whenever an exchange has gone insolvent they've pooled assets from all users in the bankruptcy. This means that if an exchange becomes insolvent due to Wright stealing or freezing BSV out from under it users Bitcoin balances may be used to make BSV customers whole.</p> <p>While it's never a good idea to leave Bitcoins you aren't actively trading on exchange I'd strongly recommend getting your funds off the following exchanges ASAP (non-exhaustive list):</p> <ul> <li>Robinhood</li> <li>Bitfinex</li> <li>Bittrex</li> <li>Hitbtc</li> <li>Huobi Global</li> <li>Kucoin</li> <li>Bithumb</li> <li>Gate.io</li> <li>Poloniex</li> <li>CoinW</li> <li>Indoex</li> <li>OKX</li> <li>CoinDCX</li> <li>Pionex</li> <li>Upbit</li> <li>Bibox</li> <li>Bkex</li> <li>Yobit</li> <li>Deepcoin</li> <li>Mexo Exchange</li> <li>Wazirx</li> <li>CoinEx</li> </ul> <p>Of course, since the BSV ecosystem has been engaging in non-stop harassment of Bitcoiners including multibillion dollar lawsuits against Bitcoin developers and non-BSV supporting exchanges it's probably prudent to not to business with exchanges still supporting this ecosystem to begin with, if you care about the value of your Bitcoins'. If an exchange will support this scam just to make a bit of extra money-- what else might they do?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/nullc"> /u/nullc </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/xwfimw/psa_get_your_bitcoin_off_any_exchange_supporting/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/xwfimw/psa_get_your_bitcoin_off_any_exchange_supporting/">[comments]</a></span>
