coinbase more secure thanks to FB security guy coinbase expanding features and uses thanks to amazon director guy looks like coinbase is heading in a more professional direction, which will giv it much needed cred and trust, since the gox fiasco.. i can see coinbase spearheading the next price rise and expansion of bitcoin services. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) hmm bittburger said it better though boom!

Buy a TREZOR! Premier BTC hardware wallet. If you're reading this, you should probably buy one if you don't already have one. You'll thank me later.

Looks like he had "a stint at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago". Sounds like the right man for the job!

Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.
... ... In the future, books that summarize the history of money will have a line that says, “and then came bitcoin.” It is the economic singularity. And we are living in it now. - Ryan Dickherber... ... ATTENTION BFL MINING NEWBS: Just got your Jalapenos in? Wondering how to get the most value for the least hassle? Give BitMinter a try! It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)... ... The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.

This is big news for bitcoin as security is the biggest issue with mass adoption.

My experience with facebook security has been rather dismal: http://metaversemusician.com/blog/hackers-steal-facebook-pages-creator-loses-administrator-rights/I'm sure it'll be great for Coinbase in pulling in yet more investment. Based upon my personal experience, I don't expect customer service to benefit. Anybody anywhere feel that facebook gives a crap how secure your account is?

This is big news for bitcoin as security is the biggest issue with mass adoption. Considering the man has been in the tech industry rather than government or banking for a while, I'm cautiously hopeful that he might actually be able and willing to enhance Coinbase security. But as he has actually worked for the Fed, it's nowhere close to the almost-certainly positive event that I had thought at first. His background leaves serious room for doubt (it's not at all uncommon for key folks to leave banking, enter other domains and continue to represent the interests of the banking industry, if not their specific former employer. To not consider this a possibility, especially when it comes to Bitcoin, is to ignore that trend.)
