AscendEX Crypto Exchange Hacked for $77 mln

That's because I said recent. And since then Binance has refunded the hacked users accounts, so sorry bud, that doesn't apply here

And Ascendex is insured, sooo, like what is your point?
You know, you can actually get your own insurance on CEX hacks, in DeFi.
And you're making the assumptions that Binance won't get hacked again. Which they probably will, because CZ is hated.
 
The bitcoins and cryptos are not created out of nothing, they are mined, so you can search youtube on bitcoin mining to understand that process

I watched something by 99bitcoin on mining. He said that it's a case of guessing a number, is that true?

On the video at 21:28 he states that bitcoin doesn't exist and has no intrinsic value. There in lies my concern; what then makes it worth 50K one day and 60k a week later. There is really no way to value it.

Yes, on mining it's a guessing game, you can even do it by hand and produce a hash, but the winning hash has to meet the difficulty requirements per the given parameters

You might be able to produce 1 hash per minute by hand, but you'll be competing with miners that have thousands or even 10's of thousands of ASIC miners that produce Trillions of hashes per second

The Antminer S9 can produce 13.5 Trillion hashes per second

Bitcoin has no intrinsic value, but he also mentioned that fiat currencies do not have intrinsic value

Price of bitcoin is determined by supply and demand. It's an open market that trades 24/7/365. People come up with ways to value Bitcoin but it's subjective

Welcome to crypto?
This is business as usual.

You are talking about a 3rd tier exchange that is non-KYC.
You also assume it was not in some way, shape or form, an inside job.
I know it's business as usual,that's the part I find so disturbing. It shouldn't be this way, but it is, obviously.
