Bitcoins are a game if you only use income that you can afford to lose. I have made money, lost money buying and selling bitcoins just trying to promote and help the bitcoin system.  Buy now while its low with money that you can afford to risk and there wont be much of an issue, it can only go down to 0 or up up  up and up higher.

I trust people because I'm not greedy. In fact, I couldn't care less if someone stole bitcoins from me -- it's just a game to me.
Or so you say...

For you maybe. For people who put real life sweat and tears into this thing only to have it shat all over by some internet turdslurpers it's not even close to funny.

Trust has been broken far to many times to trust one individual person or entity examples being worms wallet stealers mtgox breechs paypal fuxing coin pal MBC fiasco bruce wagner blah blah blah blah

I have over 6000 btc just sitting on 2 thumb drives one in my home safe one in my safety deposit box ..

I only trade now locally both buy sell and exchange for goods and services and thats what you guys should be encouraged to do as well

bitcoin exchanges just centralize a decentralized currancy just like mining pools ect.

the only "nice thing" about having a exchange is allowing joe blow investor the ability to drop 5 kUSD on the market and purchase our "ecurrency" based on the work of others

you need to consider the EV of spending all of this time securing ur bitcoins vs their actual value.
if u only have 5 bitcoins, who cares about all of this security?

+1

I don´t think this is for people who is just trying bitcoin with 1 or 2 coins.
But as any other kind of money the system itself should provide the security, otherwise the "normal" people won´t use it as have been said already.

Agreed with MtGox. I've had luck with CaVirtex as well. It's run by a pair of awesomely helpful Albertans.

Are there any good BTC escrow sites that people have and are still using?

this is so true! you can't trust any one now a days. I lost most of my savings trying to go to bitcon. I was devastated, but luckily I was able to recoup my losses this week when the price dropped low enough to buy back the amount of coins I tried to cash out to get to the con. I'll never take another forum user at their word again! (New account to protect my identity...)

In regards to the P2P exchanges (buying/selling coins, goods, services, etc) ... I find that this market has many similarities to the e-Gold market in my eyes. Exchanging with e-Gold was a hassle a lot of the time due to the fact that scammers can take your money, not get charged back, and remain anonymous. There are some serious issues, but the anonimity has many benefits as well. It is worth it in the end, and if you know how to protect yourself when dealing with others, I doubt you have to seriously worry about losing anything to scammer. A lot of the time it is the ones that don't take the necessary precautions to make sure an exchange is done in the safest manner possible, and with the most trusted individuals only.

Not that I am qualified to do so, but thread gets seal of approval. Thank you for raising awareness while we are still in the newbie forum.
