WOW. I had no idea it worked like that. I though if you have your codes you are 100% secure. Turns out all bitcon are stored in some different companies that can simply take your money. Wow, how could anyone even trust that? I mean "hey, lets give my $100.000 to some online dude, lets hope he is not a shady person and won't run with 10.000.000 of customers' funds.
