A Bit Late But Lesson Learned
I was one of those people who though oh damn yesterday when I realized Celsius had blocked all outgoing transactions. Now before you think I have put my life savings on there and now realized I can never retire: I didn't put any of my own money into Celsius, just profits I made and it was only €500 so not the end of the world, but still pretty annoying.

Until, well yesterday, I enjoyed using Celsius, it was a handy place to store coins and watch them slowly accumulate interest, something I wasn't used to anymore as my bank account has a 0% interest rate for years now. I think the convenience and the smooth interface kind of nudged me to sleep about the main thing: not your keys, not your money...

Well, consider the lesson learned! I just ordered a Ledger hardware wallet and will be moving all my funds that I- unwisely so- keep at various exchanges into it.

I think like many people I didn't do this sooner because firstly I enjoyed the ease that the platforms gave me, secondly because I didn't know about hardware wallets when I started out in crypto, moving things to it will cost money and lastly, I guess human stupidity means we always think these things will happen to other people, but not to us... 

For anyone out there still hesitating: just do it, it will cost you a bit of money, but then you can at least keep your money! Oh and can we stop shaming people please who have money on various exchanges? Millions of crypto users do this and they are not all idiots, just creatures of comfort and habit!

Watch out for the human traffickers here. You wont know it until its too late. STAY AWAY! Beware, traffickers can be women or men! They will act nice until they dont. There is human trafficking going on around this type of crypto. I have witnessed it. They literally have attempted my murder and are trying to kill me with V2K and RNM. Five years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem if you run into one of them you may want to immediately shoot them in the face. 187, annihilate, asphyxiate, assassinate, behead, bleed, bludgeon, boil, bomb, bone, burn, bury, butcher, cap, casket, choke, chop, club, crucify, crush, curb, decapitate, decimate, deflesh, demolish, destroy, devein, disembowel, dismember, drown, electrocute, eliminate, end, euthanize, eviscerate, execute, explode, exterminate, extinguish, finish, fry, grind, guillotine, gut, hack, hang, hit, ice, implode, incinerate, kill, liquidate, lynch, massacre, maul, microwave, mutilate, neutralize, obliterate, off, pop, poison, punnish, quarter, ruin, shank, shock, shoot, shred, skin, slay, slaughter, smoke, smother, snipe, snuff, squish, stab, strangle, stone, suffocate, suicide, SWAT, swing, terminate, torture, terrorize, whack, waste, wreck.

The problem is there was far to little education on the matter.
While some tried to explain how all these platforms one way or another were always high risk, many more were entering discussions supporting this behavior.
It was greed though that driven users into lending their coins to Celsius, Nexo, Cred, and all the rest. Sadly I explained at read.cash on May 1st exactly how much shady Celsius is and why it demanded a vast leap of faith to trust money there, but few heeded the advice.
