So what if some people want to use exchanges or circles to hold their money instead of proper wallets. That doesn't make our money any more vulnerable.
Ask Mark Karpeles.
While I typically advice people to avoid using off the chain solutions and centralized bitcoin banks, it isn't fair to compare Mtgox to Coinbase and circle. There is a world of difference between the two... and it isn't irresponsible for new users to temporarily use these services while they learn about bitcoin. You have to weigh risks , and a new user has far more risk at losing their btc with a personal mistake, technical problem or virus than the risks inherent with a regulated and insured institution where their largest risk is capital gains
taxes theft.
New users should just be made aware of the tradeoffs.
You are saying two contradictory things. Core wont cave or lose and the miners won't switch if people are still buying bitcoin. So knock off the "BUY BUY BUY!" shit until we get this resolved or it won't get resolved.
Sorry to burst your shorts , I'm buying more and encouraging others to jump on this train , now....Buy, Buy, Buy!(all of which uses 0 tx's of capacity from most orders)
