Every time the price goes down I am going to cheer. I don't even care if I take a long position at some point and the price goes down. I'll have the satisfaction of knowing some of the assholes on here lost money.
ONLY dufus like you are losing money... Yeah, right lock in your losses, and then whine about it. That makes a lot of sense. NOTYou might actually be the village idiot of the village idiots. Mr. hahahaha you didn't buy coins at $600... $500... $400... (and probably this started at $1200) we all know that you've already lost so much money that unless a greater fool comes around you'll live under a bridge for the rest of your life. Also, you've probably lost all of those around you that love you or support you because you are an addict who cannot admit it. F---ing retard. I have shared a lot of my personal investment details, but they are NO where near what you are asserting with your name - calling and your misinformation... so you are full of shit and likely being purposefully full of shit. Yes, I started buying at $1200, but only small amounts, and I kept buying all year and my average BTC price currently is about $558. However, i did NOT invest more than I can lose, and I have quite a large BTC holding.. yet I have a variety of other investments so my BTC portfolio is still less than 10% of my quasi-liquid investment portfolio. Anyhow, it does little to no good to share information with a troll who distorts information and who fails to speak frankly about his/her its own investment strategy (b/c the troll is usually so full of shit... and that is YOU .. dear Newbie)....

I don't see anything there about a "major failure" or "big theft". ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Other than a few million satoshis in a spending wallet on a mobile device or a few coins on an exchange, why would anyone keep any bitcoins anywhere except in paper wallets?

The problem isn't blockchain.info, it's Phishing by rogue tor nodes. A Tor user puts their credentials into these fake blockchain.info sites presented by a rogue Tor node, and then the hackers steal all your coins. Is Bank of America to blame when people click links in phishing emails and type in their passwords to some dubious site?

Your average price is about $558. Jesus. I thought it would be at least a little lower than that. And you have "quite a large BTC holding." Jesus. If you weren't such a dick I'd feel seriously sorry for you. With the way the BTC community is becoming increasingly myopic and unwelcoming, it's dying popularity, and the constant dumping... you've already lost. You are one laughable mother---er. Sorry, but if anybody wants to call me underwater (which I am not... I am actually slightly up for the past week... slightly down for the month... and solidly up on the year)... talk to this dude instead. You seriously are the village idiot of the village idiot group. It's like, you tried to dissuade me of it and you only provided supporting evidence for that assertion. Have fun living under a bridge.

The major problem that I see with Blockchain.info, and the most likely avenue of the theft, is simply that Blockchain uses your email as your password recovery (and even emails you your unencrypted private key as an attachment upon request. The attackers likely have access to large amounts of compromised email accounts. Simply search those for any messages from Blockchain and voila! Withdrawing the funds is still tricky as you still need to log into the website to withdraw, thus the use of TOR. I work in IT and although I don't have to deal with end users much anymore, I do have to provide support for IT staff from other companies. I would say that less than one in ten IT professionals ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) that I deal with truly understand crypto. I don't expect the masses ever will. It's gonna be real tough to make bitcoin idiot proof enough for the masses. I'm bearish on this ever being possible without abstraction by a third party. In my opinion, bitcoin will be a success if it simply opens the public's eyes to the opacity and corruption of our current system of governance and forces at least some level of transparency upon the established controllers of money. Price be damned.

JayJuanGee! Think of how long you were banished to the moon! You'll give us no choice but to send you back there if you don't stop! Seriously tho, you started buying @1200 and still haven't stopped? That's like the cheesiest after-school special ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) with "bad kids" bullying you into Bitcoin with "Just try it once, JayJuanGee, not like you gonna get hooked! You chicken? Bawk bawk bawk! Or won't your MOMMY let you?" Was that how it went? Or did d00d from the internet lure you in with "Psst, kid... You want somethin' to REALLY make you fly?" Anyhow, I'd say get help, but I know you'll just come up with some bullshit excuse--how you don't need it, how you could stop any time if you wanted to, etc., etc.--I know Bitcoiners.

Added bonus that most TOR users are not the type to get the authorities involved... I thought it had become obvious that TOR was kinda broken for a while now.

Price be damned. it is already hear circle has insured btc against theft and apps on mobiles to have a go anywhere service to shop with btc. It is only small at the moment but an insight into the short term future of easy payment system for consumers insured against theft, merchants have bitpay and simply thats it. More services in the areas based on circle.com model and bitpay model with more merchamt adoption and i can use btc anywhere

I gotta go with paper wallets as well. I don't entirely trust circle. I'll buy BTC there or Coinbase but then I'll transfer to my paper wallets.

Let me guess, if they have all their (your) bitcoin stolen they will reimburse you with the equivalent amount of fiat? And if the exchange rate changes drastically during the period between the theft and the reimbursement? What then?

We will see a recover after the black friday.
Won't we?
Black Friday has little effect on the price of bitcoin... gotta wait until December 4th or soon thereafter.... but NO guarantees anything will happen after December 4; however, less likely any kind of rally will occur prior to December 4. Out of curiosity why are you stating an importance to December 4th?
