#黑客攻击事件 Seeing the news that Bitfinex hacker Lichtenstein was released early, I feel a bit complicated. 1.2 million BTC stolen and laundered for years, and he only served one year before coming out—this has a significant impact on the security defenses of exchanges.



But from another perspective, this actually gives us a very practical reminder: exchange risks always exist. No matter how perfect your trading strategy is, account security is the foundation. When I copy trades myself, I never put all my funds on a single platform. Over the years, I’ve seen too many cases of "traders with perfect strategies but platform collapses."

The key is to understand the logic of risk allocation. You can't go all-in on copying just because a master trader has a high return, and you also need to consider underlying risks—whether it's the risk of the trading strategy or the platform's credibility. Diversification and multi-platform deployment are fundamental skills for professional players. Although the Lichtenstein case is extreme, it teaches us a simple truth: there is no such thing as absolute safety, only relatively reasonable risk management.

When choosing copying targets and allocating funds, you should also factor safety coefficients into risk premiums. This is not conservatism; it’s a necessary lesson for long-term survival.
