There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Way to twist what he meant. Here, I'll paraphrase it the way I've been saying it myself more than once in the past:
1) Gox was, and still is, hugely bearish. Trust in crypto lost by "Bitcoin outsiders" is significant.
2) Forumites shrug off gox as "just another exchange that blew up", "should have kept your coins in a paper wallet, hur dur". They are most likely wrong about that.
Where's the contradicton in those two statements? ya here is the thing. 1. i don't trust bitcoin to my windoze computer locally (somebody hacked my bct-e account once & thank god i got it back) 2. so. right now my few bitcoins are in coinbase with 2fa. if i had enough i would do offline wallet blah blah blah. but i'm less noobish than grandma. 3. everybody says you need to do (list of pain in the ass instructions ... "Install Ubuntu. Don't install anything else. Blah blah blah blah") to keep ur bitcoins safe. 4. well guess what? if it's THAT MUCH OF A PAIN IN THE ASS why in the HELL should I use it or expect it to be the "currency of the future" people say "bitcoin has never been hacked". well u know what? a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. gox, scammers, hackers, insecure operating systems are freakinly MASSIVE weak links in the bitcoin ecosystem for those of you who laugh at us who don't want to install ubuntu and print paper wallets and blah blah blah (and u snicker when we lose our money) we don't ever buy anymore bitcoins. so laugh away - but without grandma's money you ain't going to the moon

A Bitfinex whale is testing if his (for him) small dump will result in a panic sell, or if it will be bought up.

I ended up making my own customized live ubuntu iso to run on my laptop connected to a usb printer in order to print an offline wallet. One issue I faced was that armory wouldn't run with the default iso file, so you are stuck connecting to the internet in order to install the necessary packages . Most of the various tutorials I read didn't even mention this issue, like they never tried to actually do it themselves. So, IMO the paper wallet solution kind of sucks at least as I've seen it implemented. If you don't compromise on something it's a real pain. I like the idea of greenaddress.it for an online storage solution. Didn't look into coinbase vault, but that's another option maybe.
