If sticking with mtgox makes me a sucker, than I'm a sucker. I'd rather trust someone who has dealt with a compromise than someone who is just hoping their security is good enough. They cockiness of newer users is starting to get very annoying. They all know how stupid everyone else is, and they ignore reason. I'm not targeting anyone in particular in this thread with these comments, but I'll be surprised if nobody jumps in to start the name calling. Obviously, not all new users are part of the problem, but these forums have become much less enjoyable over the past few months. Let's spend less time insulting each other and try to have a constructive discussion. Like I said, shit happens and I'd rather put my money with those who know how to use a shovel.
It's hard to have a constructive discussion when so many people here just blindly believe bitcoins will keep going up and up and away!!
I never made that claim. I have some modest savings, but I'm prepared to lose it all. I prefer to use bitcoins for transactions. I do see a lot of upside potential, but I'm not blind to the inevitable downswings. I do see your point though. But after a few more months all the new users will either be burnt or just a bit more rational. Unfortunately, most of the old hats have retreated from this forum because it has become such a repetitive shitstorm.
