Offtopic sort of but I find it neccessary to be said:

Anyone having Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Google+ or similar account or is using any of services provided by (major) corporations or other service providers who are heavily backed
by the system and is involved with cryptocoins at the same time is an idiot, period.

Jon has done a lot for the progression of Bitcoin over the past years.

Not a nice thing to say mate!

He is working on disruptive technology threatening established (monetary) systems and uses Twitter.

Oh, please. Bitcoin is not currently a threat to any established monetary system. Don't be delusional.

He's a guy who didn't take appropriate steps to secure his accounts, they got hacked, and now someone else has control of them. This happens to celebrities all the time.

Well said. Anyone who uses Twitter and doesn't even bother to active two factor auth deserves to get hacked, hard. If you're a columnist, you should be especially cautious.
