If so, it seems to me if we learn anything from this debacle is that bitcoin needs a full-time team to deal more quickly with both (a) known possible attacks / vulnerabilities and (b) 'upgrades' to the protocol.

I'm not a techie, but if I were, I would be advancing all the different ways that I could think of for maintaining and growing public communications beyond the Internet. I would be working to develop an independent communication grid that is entirely decentralized, yet worldwide, just like Bitcoin is.

And while I'm on the subject ... sometime in the next few months, the wallet of some major site will be hacked and a bunch of people are going to lose all of their bitcoins. You heard it here first.

Sounds like complete FUD to me.

It is not FUD. It is reality. I am stating the obvious. People that allow others to hold their bitcoins for them are generally newbies that are simply unaware of the risk.

It literally is FUD. You're basing this and the timeframe on absolutly nothing.

Sorry. I can't resist.

Told you so!

Lucky guess.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

Not really.

Since about 2010 or so a major site has been hacked and a bunch of people lose all their bitcoins every few months.

It doesn't take a lot of luck to predict that what happened consistently for the last three years is going to keep happening absence some fundamental change in the way these sites are operated.

I mean that is was lucky that he called it so close, not that he called it at all.  It's easy to make predictions if you don't have a time frame.  He did.  That's the part that was lucky.

The point was not that I can correctly predict the future. Anyone could have Everyone should have made that same prediction.

The point was that everyone should understand that storing their bitcoins in someone else's wallet is a big risk.

Well, that's the way some people learn the importance of the term "counterparty risk".
Some make mistakes and learn the hard way - others play it smarter and learn from other people's mistakes throughout history.

After all, history doesn't repeat - but it rhymes pretty well. Sometimes too well...
