I am currently cracking the leaked password file just for fun and because I am curious.
Guess what?

1) Hundreds of accounts with their usernames as passwords.
2) Hundreds of accounts with the password "123456"
3) Hundreds of accounts with the password "testtest"
4) Hundreds of accounts with the password "bitcoin"

Are you guys STUPID?

TO THE THOUSANDS OF USERS WHO ARE THIS DUMB:
YOU DESERVE TO LOSE YOUR BITCOINS, IDIOTS.

And your point is???

Deal with the real word, not hwat you wish it were!

My point is that for the betterment of humanity, they should die.
Haha, I am kidding.
The message is clear: remember you are dealing with money here. Be security aware, or don't cry later when someone steals all your stash.

I have no worries for myself, my password would take two millenniums to be cracked (in a Class F, in a home PC it would take EONs).
But the problem is that if such a great amount of users are insecure, actually indirectly they would affect the stability of the whole market... like what just happened in MtGox.
Such unsafety wouldn't facilitate the wide adoption of the currency.

I don't care if a dumb fool loses his/her bitcoins.
But if a great percentage of it are dumb people, it may harm the bitcoin economy seriously in the long run.
So YES, it matters to me... my message can be summarized as: "SECURE YOURSELF OR GTFO"
