You can find 100% honest business world just within yourself because you will never find anyone else 100% honest in this crual world.

Seems like their is alot of scammers when it comes to bitcoins.

Seriously. Don't trust ...

As much as I have learned up to now is: Bitcoins make banks obsolete.
Which is a good idea, as banks are not really trustworthy, at least not on a large scale.
Now people struggle very hard to get ther bitcoins to a new kind of banks.
Obviously they can´t even trust themselves.

Well apparantly life is a game all about learning.
Some have a better strategy, some are just lucky, while others are repeating the lessons.

I noticed Bitcoin people are paranoid. But yes trust yourself only, look at whats happened last year

If it wasnt for the disasters and dishonest people / scammers the price would be higher still today.

As what mom and dad always says trust no stranger.

Trust have to be earned. When doing a business with new entity it's advised to be cautious. Companies (and individual people as well) can fail from time to time for myriad of reasons. I'm yet to have any sizable sum in BTC but from what I could understand about its protocol it is safer than conventional banking ever can be. (especially considering todays political risks...)

[brunoshady]

indeed, be careful who you trust with your bitcoins!

Using BTC is inherently very risky. I think the majority of people have been victims at this point.

I support the first sentence of this post, but from what i've seen only stupid people have been victims at this point.

I trusted my dad only and now he's dead.

I sent 6 bitcoins to Instawallet, thinking they were gone forever after 3-4 days when they didn't appear. Figured if the site was legit, people might've been loggin all these different addresses and constantly checking to see which wallets have activity. Got those six BTC though!

Good on you, m8. Imagine it was 600 btc instead.

Seems like their is alot of scammers when it comes to bitcoins.

Yup, anything that one person has and another person wants will lead to scammers.  Sad, but true.

I agree, so just be careful.

• Do you know their full name?
• Do you know where they are located?
• Have they demonstrated trustworthiness in the past?
• Are they asking you to trust them? (red flag)
• Do they have insurance?

Can you kick their ass if something goes wrong!? should be added for the lulz
