well look at the price today after the malware articles came out? Yes fridays it seems to drop but the malware issue isn't going to make the price rise.

I think it added to the downward trend, but saying it's the main cause would overdo it.
Windows has been compromised countless times, and look around, people only care once it happens to themselves. I'd guess it's similar with Bitcoin. Pushes it down a little further, but the reason for the big breakdown should be elsewhere.

Sort of.
If you steal BTC, you'd likely want to cash out as quickly as possible. Thus successful heists would cause large sell-offs. Like we're seeing right now, at the same time a lot of people are reporting both stolen wallets as well as transfers away from mtgox.

Will the preponderance of stupid people make all smart people kill themselves because it's all in vain ?

I do not own any bitcoin, but if I owned any significant amount i personally would be worried about it getting hacked.
Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

Yes the security issue is something that needs to be solved. People need to know that their money is safe. Likewise it needs to be easy to use.

malware will make the price RISE, because the hackers will try to buy out all the BTCs for easy transfer to his own wallet.
You can not roll a BitCoin, but you can rollback some.

Hackers are going to steal coins and then buy more coins? How does buying more make the coins he stole easier to transfer?

Mr. Gavin still think that the security issue, such as back up and encrypt wallet.dat still not his first priority, which expressed in his recent blog. I think this is really a problem.
If you see any of my suggestions useful, please donate me.

If you think it's such a problem, then do it yourself and submit a pull request.
