Just as the traders need to educate themselves on the technological considerations (secure themselves from professional hackers), those that know and understand the technological aspects of btc need to quickly educate themselves on the implications of professional traders in their midst.

Currently I see both sides overestimating themselves, and their ability to anticipate and manage the threat from the side they do not understand.  The professional traders will blindside btc hackers, just as hackers will freely rob ignorant, traders.
