Accusing people of being emotion driven whilst describing them as 'butt-hurt' is somewhat hypocritical. And the idea of 'let's move forward' (and forget the past) is the sort of nonsense used by politicians after their own failed policies have plunged a country or region into chaos; far wiser to look back and learn from the failures of history.
Finex have had a dreadful reputation for many years with many forum users reporting all sorts of dubious behaviour long before the 'hack'.
Bad things happen in life of course but when bad things keep happening in the same place one should apply some appropriate caution. Mocking such caution is churlish.
Butthurt is the specific emotion driving Bitfinex derangement syndrome. Don't you know what 'IE' means? It means 'that is.'
I never said "forget the past." To the contrary, I advocated taking personal responsibility (rather than blaming others) when the well known phenomenon of exchange counterparty risk rears its ugly head and those seeking extra reward eat the extra risk instead.
If Finex was known to be so bad, those with funds there are even more culpable. And it's not the only place (IE, oops i mean, that is, exchange) that's ever lost customer funds.
Churlish? Your post, with its utter contempt for reading comprehension, is by far the most churlish in the last dozen pages.
I missed the official announcement about the definition of butt hurt - I thought it was your general term for everyone who disagreed with you.
I understood your post and agreed with some of its elements; what I don't agree with is heaping scorn on people who have either suffered financial losses or are wary of them. You could just as easily take the following line of argument: if Finex is so unreliable that you would advise not keeping funds on there, why on earth are so many people (the market and from your post yourself too) seeing it as positive it is adopting XMR.
My position is all the exchanges (indeed all crypto) is vulnerable to attack be it cyber, physical or political. You should be aware of the risks. But if your money is stolen, those doing the stealing should brought to account.
I imagine there weren't too many people pointing fingers at those having their homes repossessed in 2008/9 and saying "you should have known better". I don't know why crypto seems to attract and nurture such sourness; its been prevalent for many years now and shows no sign of leavening.
I won't rise to your facetiousness with regard to language use.
