Risto is smart. But smart people do dumb things from time to time.
Indeed, like post hurtful comments about people without actually thinking.
This is the second time we've had this conversation; you do seem to let fly first, think later.
And in this case he trusted Gox which I would have never done. Risto will be ok. He will get his btc out when they reopen withdrawals. But he has been stressing about it and yelling at people in the service discussions threads for the last few days. Risto is prone to paranoia and "worst case" beliefs.
I don't know what Risto's situation is and have not been keeping abreast, so can't comment. However, risk assessment means addressing 'worst' case' scenarios, so I imagine he has to explore these possibilities.
One thing is certain - no-one knows what will happen - this is Bitcoin and anything can, and often does, happen. Last week no-one fore saw that Gox would blame the Bitcoin protocol - I didn't and if you did you kept it to yourself.
Being strident about your point of view doesn't make it accurate.
I like you Creekbore.
Likewise.
And I like keeping you in check
