WARNING!!! DO NOT TRUST THIS ANY WEB SERVICE WITH YOUR COINS.
I just did small correction of your text:) I should be gold rule #1 for every crypto user. anyway, how many BTC you had in..?
about 10btc
holy moly, is it lot of money, at least for me..hope that you can afford to loose them. I lost dozens of coins on web sites like mtgox, so I know how you feel. good luck anyway..
As long as people (and even fairly tech savy people like the ones who found their way in here) are losing BTCs left right and center... BTC is very very far from being any threat to FIAT.
And the people who wish for higher adoption...should consider themselves blessed that BTC does NOT have higher adoption at this stage because if it did the mess would be far greater and many more people would have lost far greater sums...thus probably crippling the entire blockchain technology for years.
We as BTC believers should not push for any further adoption really until all these security issues are solved. Or - accept that it will be an underground nerd currency for the few. If this is the realization many many will jump out of BTC and only these people will be left back with their increasingly worthless coins. Therefore I hope for the first solution - that we get the security issues fixed without relying on old women, computer illiterates and farmers to keep themselves safe. We need to make everyone feel as (or almost as) safe as they feel using the current FIAT banking system.
