I <3 Cavirtex, I hear VoS isnt bad either
I hear vos is legit and everything, but I've spoken personally over the phone to the cavirtex CEO, twice. I've also seen him give testimony in front of the Canadian Senate. These kind of things give me a certain amount of confidence... and still I hold the majority of my funds in cold wallets and I like the fact that even though I trust the exchange, I don't have to trust the exchange. I can secure my own coins.

... I don't know where they're from or where they're located, and it's always possible for a third party to just take your money and run, (recent shenanigans in cypress as an example) ... You did mean NeoBee's Danny Brewster when you brought up Cyprus, right?

I'm especially hesitant after hearing about bad USB attacks... https://srlabs.de/badusb/Not sure how relevant this attack vector is, but I'm sticking with offline paper wallets in the meantime

And I didn't even think to check into my corrupt fiat bank's background before opening an account. First thing tomorrow morning...

Ahh, funny, because Danny Brewster didn't give any warning at all. BTW, remind me how many euro had to be in the slave's account to start losing money? Was it 100,000.00 (one hundred thousand) Euro?

Calling "troll" is one of the ways the early birds here deflect any sort of criticism.

There's lots of talk about cheap Bitcoins
So what USD Value do you think a Bitcoin would be cheap ?
I know this is going to piss a lot of people off but I will regard Bitcoin to be 'cheap' when it hits about $20 a coin, of course it will still be cheap at $10 but that's irrelevant.
It will continue to work regardless of what the price is.
I know the relentless greed around here will not agree with the above, the world still needs dreamers though.
That's the whole issue, imo. You need to be able to value something in order to know whether it's cheap or expensive at any given price. The best man in the world at figuring out the real value of things, Warren Buffett, says that the value of bitcoin is zero.

Below average mining price, whatever price that may be. We soon may find out however. The value of something is not how much it costs to produce.

I don't understand. You are saying that if I have a large amount of liquid assets I should expect them to be stolen by bankers or governments? (One in the same, really) Or are you just saying that as a slave with less than 100,000 that I should just shut up and be happy about my situation?
