"We know that Bitcoin itself is a complete failure ..." -chief economist at Citi

[BellaBitBit]

HaHa this is funny. Bitcoin is a "complete failure" . . . why not just a failure?  This is getting interesting with all of these giants coming out to declare it dead.  I feel these are tactics by those that are scared of something rather than being secure knowing they have their own solution.

"Anything that can be programmed can be hacked"

Is he talking about 51% attack?

Because so far Bitcoin hasn't been hacked, sure people's wallets have been hacked, exchanges have been ostensibly hacked but that doesn't say anything about Bitcoin itself getting hacked.

Anything that can be programmed can be hacked...unless its properly coded. Bitcoin code isn't very large so it is easy to fix bugs, and these bugs have mostly been discovered and patched.
