And ppl claim bitcoin is completely safe... Computers and technology could be a threat, perhaps it is a boon, just that 98% of you are going to get robbed, scammed, fleaced.... No different than fiat money.

Perhaps it time our species takes an evolutionary leap forward in the intelligence dept and bitcoin will be the guiding light

Bitcoin is extremely safe. Computers, less so and that varies by OS and the operator.

If I hand my cash to a known criminal, the odds are he'll take it. This has to do with people, not bitcoin.

Don't leave your bitcoin online. Don't download software to the computer you use for bitcoin. Don't give anyone your private keys.

Bitcoin might be safe, however 98% of the human population are dumber than rocks... So considering the weakest link.... i think you catch my drift.

Now if those 98% get scammed and die, and only the 2% who are smart and do not get scammed live, then i guess it is a win for humanity..

I wrote up the details of my tale of woe at the Scam Accusations discussion, but it probably needs to go here for added visibility. I just lost ALL the BTC in all wallets at a blockchain.info identifier of mine by going to cryptomsgr.com (um, well, yeah, by thinking that the "perforated B" made them "legit").

Very fast, very slick, very dangerous.

Don't fall into the trap I just did. Beware.

Well, there's one short test you can use to try to weed out bad sites from good ones. Not perfect but...

You see, scammers are usually quite cheap.

So if you try to access that site using https:// protocol you'll get a warning about bad SSL, like this:

Quote

cryptomsgr.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is only valid for bbckchah.info
(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

And SSL costs around $40 a YEAR. So if a site owner can't spend that much, just refuse to deal with it. As simple as that. Then again there are very smart scammers but that's different story altogether.
