Retards why cant you just keep your own wallet. Is it really so hard? All i see around here is a bunch of people crying about how someone stole my bitcoins. well you deserve it. IMO
Hopefully no one is keeping thousands (or even hundreds) of bitcoins with them. Hopefully.
But browser-based wallets do let you access funds on the go. I don't feel that it's their existance that's the problem, but rather the usage (although I have my fingers crossed that there won't be the massive losses to an online service yet AGAIN.)
