this is just hilarious to read
"bitcoin experts" hahahahahahahaha
Chose pre-goxin mentalities, gox sure did slap bitcoin into a realization that we need better checks in place for our exchanges. Or you could just keep your private keys in your own control.
So... do we have better exchanges? Probably. Good enough on average? Probably not.
Thing is: money will move from people with lax key security to people with better key security. So over time bitcoins are being stored more and more safely.
