This is DESIGNED to act as a digital cash system. That was always the point. Buyer beware. If you can't handle the risk and responsibility, using your intellect, of being scammed or robbed then don't get involved. Everyone, all the way from the main Qt wallet's lead developer all the way out to the conservative financial press, says this is a risky system.
