[2016-06-13] Bitcoin is Far Less Scary Than Most People Think

[jdebunt]

But at the same time, Bitcoin is scary to a lot of people, and rightfully so. There is no handholding when one obtains their bitcoins, as the end user is entirely responsible for their money. There is no bank to bail one out if things go awry. Consumers and enterprises have to make hard decisions themselves, which is very unusual in this day and age. At the same time, this is a golden opportunity to experience complete financial freedom.

Another scary thing is that there is no way of knowing that you are being watched until the thief has gone away with your money. You can't trace him and there is no one to really complain to anyway.

there is no one to really complain to anyway.

There is: you. That's how being responsible for your actions works, it's your fault if something goes wrong. You can improve your chances of things going right through educating yourself. Although, may I make another suggestion: if things do go wrong, don't be too hard on yourself either.
