'Bitcoin Marketplace bitFlyer’s Miho Sasaki sat down with Satoshi Nakamoto, the reclusive creator of Bitcoin, and asked him the questions that have been on everybody’s mind since the day he unleashed a fury of digital wrath on the world of finance with Bitcoin.

Miho
So, Mr. Nakamoto – Sorry to pry, but I have to ask the one question that I think is on everyone’s mind. Why is your hair blonde?

Satoshi Nakamoto
Oh, that. I tripped and fell head first into a vat of peroxide I was using to run some experiments. I actually kind of like the new look, sort of ‘mad genius chic’. It’s weird my goatee is still black though. Yeah.

Miho
Anyway, everybody’s been talking about the recent rash of Bitcoin thefts – Mt. Gox, Bitstamp, etc. You’re the creator of Bitcoin, how can we stop these things from happening?

Satoshi Nakamoto
Well look, these people didn't follow my advice. It’s easy to keep Bitcoin safe, you just have to store it in a cold wallet. That means to keep it in a wallet that’s completely disconnected from the internet.

Miho
Isn’t that what everybody’s been doing?

Satoshi Nakamoto
No, no, no. People keep over engineering the solution. My wallet’s never been hacked. Lemme just show it to you.,'

I realize this is just a joke, and that I shouldn't take your fantasy too seriously, however I just thought I'd point out the following:

Sites like vekja.net (http://vekja.net) and www.mybitcoin.com (http://www.mybitcoin.com) have been experimenting with account-based sites.  You create an account on a website and hold your bitcoins on account there and transfer in and out.  Creating an account on a website is a lot easier than installing and learning to use software, and a more familiar way of doing it for most people.

It's an easy way to get started

Apparently even Satoshi fell victim to the concept of encouraging people to put their faith in third party accounts under some circumstances for small amounts.

Aren't we done with April's foul jokes, some of them even hurtful like the one pretending Gox BTC are about to be returned? I didn't loose BTC with Gox but I imagine those that did wouldn't appreciate such a joke to much...   :-\

The thread and the link is still all about the April Fool jokes. If you click on the link, you'll see that there are the words "April Fool" and if you have read the link (which I know you have not), you'll see that it is indeed another one of those jokes. Believe me, this "April Fool" thing will continue on for a month. After all, you're on the internet.

If you click on the link

Never click a shortened link. I usually reverse them (using http://unshort.me/), but this one gave an error. I'm not opening that.
