There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Just wanted to say thanks for this. I am new to this thing, and I was worried about putting a lot of money into bitcoins at the risk of losing my investment or something. Obviously, I have a lot of steps to take security-wise.

Trust is always a tricky one, even in real life. It reminds me of a time I tried to buy a camera in a shop in NYC. We agreed on a camera model with a lens and price, then the shopkeeper switched lenses on the camera when my back was turned. Sadly, even the trusted seller, from a shop could abuse of their position in many case. |

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't after you  |

having no centralized agent controlling bitcoin is a double edged sword, like OP suggests everybody needs to be careful and MORE knowledgeable.
basically no centralized agent is going to protect you in also in the fine prints.

Speaking of lack of trust, I really don't trust Tim "Tax Cheat" Geithner or Ben Bernanke!  |

Speaking of lack of trust, do not trust bitmarket.eu
you can trade there but they will freeze your money and the admin does not answer ta all to my complaints!
waiting for 2 weeks, my bitcoins are still "frozen" for no reason
... and... damn newbie restrictions

Seriously. Don't trust the exchanges, don't trust online wallet services, don't trust your anti-virus software, and don't trust anybody online.
Trust no one: Fox Mulder would agree with you! |

You say trust no one ......
So with that logic I should not trust your words "Trust No One"
Therefore by simple logic I REALLY should TRUST EVERYONE
You cant trick me and I am on to YOU
