i definitely rate personal responsibility way above victimism... people have noone to blame but themselves.
If one of the victims had said that, I might not have replied, but if you say it, a few words are in order.
i
am one of the 'victims', therefore didn't bother reading the rest as the logic doesn't follow...
i've lost 5300 btc.
i'm sure micon and the likes will love to hear me publish my exact personal stake.
but clearly, i take sole responsibility for losing those coins.
edit: okay so i read a bit more of your post... if pirate doesn't pay out
i've made practically nothing at all from this venture. perhaps 20 btc, haha i'm rich!
