Isn't this somewhat self defeating in that you have to trust the person making this thread who says that you shouldn't trust anyone?  In effect the original poster is saying, trust him/her but nobody else because he/she says so.

Edit: I should make clear that the above is a semi-joke/devil's advocate based on the argument that's used against nihilism.  I'd rather not get flamed for it by anyone who doesn't get it.

I feel I have that paranoid midset thanks to Bitcoins... I dread the thought of having my coins stolen and will go to great lengths to avoid it.

Same here Cheesy

I agree I'm having a hard time exchanging common currencies to btc aswell. I'm not sure if btc as a currency will fail or succeed but I think in terms of accessibility for the general public there still is some room for improvement.

There is a great quote by Buddha:

“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”

I agree.

Can I trust the security of Bitcoins in a worst case scenario?
