can any of these websites be trusted?
recently i have been desperately looking for some place to invest some of my bitcoins but i can never find a decent place that i can fully trust. maybe i am too hard on them. but again i see a lot of scams, hacks and running aways that i find it too hard to trust them.
The important thing to remember is that even majorly-trusted sites (think Mt. Gox, Cryptsy) can go under. So really, any site can. Even if you fully trust a site, you should never invest more than you can afford to just write off as a loss.
