Yup,

Bitcoin itself is just dandy and you bring up some good points. If it wasn't worth stealing, well, nobody would steal it Wink

All of the hacks so far have involved severe retardation on the part of the hackees. Survival of the fittest and all...

i don't know about severe retardation of the hackees but it seems like the lesson is being taught over and over to keep your btc in your wallet. I deserve to lose the 3.5 btc bc i should have known better. That was the first thing i thought when i saw the exchange go crazy, if i deposit coins i will lose them. But of course there's this platinum coin i've been coveting lately and if could sell 3 btc @ 55 each then i have it. This is called being a mark. All grifters rely on the weakness of greed.

Well, to be fair, losing 3.5 btc probably didn't break you and was an easily calculated risk. That's kind of a "why the hell not" amount. That's not really what I'm talking about here. You sound like you knew the risk and didn't risk anything big. I don't see any need for chastising there
