The real tragedy seems to be that people simply don't care. Most people out there are clueless, they are updating to Windows 10 and don't give a fuck if it is spying central or not. No one of them is going to go throught the hassle of installing Linux. So you can see where things are heading. Windows 10 will be the most used SO in the planet in no time and anything that runs under it will be at danger, including Bitcoin.

And more and more people are doing so, it's basically mandatory if you wish to have a reputation of knowing anything about computers.
