Karpeles has long been deemed to be incompetent well before the implosion of gox (very long before). I am really not 100% sure why so many people were trusting it with their money.

Now that his incompetence has been even further "confirmed" by gox, I would highly doubt that anything he says will ever be taken seriously

If security and privacy is no problem, many merchants  will go there including individuals.

The new improved Karpeles, he's not just a tool, he's a 48 function swiss army knife.



How do you give the world the biggest reason possible in the universe not to have a cryptocurrency central bank, and then turn round and say one is needed. But if that's the way the world is thinking, lets go ask Hiroshima if they feel the need for another nuke coming on.

"The cryptocurrency could also benefit from a kind of central bank established by merchants accepting Bitcoin, he said, that would act as a clearing house for transactions and implement secure storage of coins. Karpeles is also trying to draft a best practices document for Bitcoin security that he said he would share with anyone willing to consider his ideas."

"Bitcoin exchanges should have 24-hour operation centers manned by guards and accessed only through hardware tokens, and with staff who have undergone extensive background checks, he said."

Comments he stated all while wearing a shirt that said :
“I don’t always test my code,” it reads, “but when I do, I do it in production.”




The fucking nerve! I don't know whether he is just a complete idiot or one of the biggest douches in recent memory.

Bitcoin's raison d'etre is to remove the added counterparty risk from central banks and regulators. Stop trading your private keys for IOU tokens.
