so much scamming....... i don't feel comfortable...

This has CRUSHED my confidence in BitCoins. So many attacks, it is obvious that this is not ready for serious investment yet, WHY???

not saying scamming is good, but you guys reminded me of a beautiful quote (seen it the comments of some bitcoin related blog article):

Quote
To me the Wild West is a place of great opportunity, fierce competition, and unencumbered innovation. Of course, the flip side is that in Wild West you face risks and dangers that are absent in the old economy. You are responsible for your own protection against those dangers. Fail to protect yourself, and you will probably get pwned. There will be no nannies you can run crying to, and nobody will bail you out. But as long as you take the necessary precautions to minimize those risks, the Wild West can be a hugely rewarding place to be.
