Do you feel Bitcoin users should stop using third party services?

Making payments with a credit card is very convenient, as this method of value transfer is accepted both online and in-store all over the world. But at the same time,  so many different third party players are involved in the processing of credit cards, leaving customers exposed to financial information being stolen. Amex users have received a letter from the card issuer informing them about a potential hack recently. Bitcoin users could take note from this lesson, though, as there is no need to trust third parties with digital currency either.
