Trust No One

[jaspita]

It's always better to not trust anybody in principle. It's easy, you must just behave like in real live and not trust the first one you see.

Cheers and liberty!

well the story with bitcoin saving and trust, the uncountable hacks of servicesites & exchanges,... it is quite sure that there are many people around crypto coins, who cannot be trusted...


stay safe

Can I trust myself?

[Delicieuxz]

Sometimes I hit myself. Wait, or is that spank?

Hey I just heard about a guy named Pirate.  Can I trust him with all my bitcoins?   
(BTW - Why would anyone trust a guy named "Pirate"?  I think I'll start a new account named "Thief" and create a great new investment opportunity...)

Actually most of my coins are stored in a paper wallet - that is stored in a bank safety deposit box. That wallet was generated on a fresh-install computer that has never been connected to the 'net.   Not only am I concerned about someone stealing my coins, but what if I'm killed by a falling meteor?  I want my family to be able to find and spend the coins.

I think that basic level for trust should be 0, and only go up from there by positive references that you can trust.

I think it's better not to trust anybody on internet unless you know he/she personally.

Trust people you only know offline, but don't trust strangers. We are no longer monkeys.

[Rick James]

Trust must be earned.

[meebs]

Here is how I see it. Bitcoins = Cash in a land with 'no government' or regulations. Only trust someone to the same degree you would give them the equivilent amount of money in your local currency.

Most people wouldn't  hand over $500 to a stranger, so why trust them with 50BTC?

Honestly, though, it's a good idea to approach each situation with an open heart and mind. I believe that people tend to be good, and we should treat them as though their intentions are sound. WHILE PROTECTING YOURSELF, it must be said. Don't be stupid, but don't assume that everyone is out to get you either.

Good points, i think the only people you should trust are ones that are not afraid to reveal their identity and info about themselves.

Gotta Xfiles this bitch, Trust No One.

I trust you enough to read your post.
I also trust you enough to spend 10 seconds on a reply.

I'd also loan you a beer but that's just me. 

[nbebout]

I agree, trust no one, especially online.

[pkdchqbb]

Ok.

[MrWubbles]

I trust , NoOne...

I tried using Bitcoinary. First transaction: scammed.

You have to be careful and do your research.  Even then, it pays to not put all your eggs in one basket (no matter how good the interest rate that basket is offering)!

Take a look at what is being offered and think is it realistic.  If the proposal doesnt sound realistic it probably isnt.

I don't deal with people/companies who dont have at least decent reputation/reviews. And so should everyone else, doh.
