Just minimize risk, you can never eliminate it.

This whole thing will never work if you can't trust the exchanges that you're poring money into. Mt. Gox, for example, is a place I think we can safely say IS safe, even if their registration requirements are a bit strict (need an id and proof of address). Other than them, though, I'm suspicious of everything.

Don't always trust yourself either. Especially when talking about money/investing. You are driven by emotions, which is bad.

don't trust online wallet services even to Mtgox? I only store bitcoins offline. I send money to MtGox or other exchanges in small amounts, and only for the length of time it takes to make a transaction and get my money out again. You may choose to trust an online wallet service if you feel they are trustworthy. I will not trust ANY online wallet until bitcoins can be stored safely even when a hacker has complete access to them. For instance, if bitcoins could be marked as savings in the protocol and become non-transferable for a period of time selected by their owner. |

I send money to MtGox or other exchanges in small amounts, and only for the length of time it takes to make a transaction and get my money out again. This gentleman knows what's going on. I don't store bitcoins offline myself because I prefer to keep my money in USD (it's a bit more useful  ), but it would be cool to see the internet in general start accepting bitcoins as a payment method. I think once Amazon allows the use of bitcoins an offline wallet will be a very good idea. Until then, I rarely keep bitcoins from one day to the next (unless you count amounts less than half a bitcoin, leftover from transactions) |
