This was the oldest, longest standing bitcoin eWallet site in existence. It had a strong record of stability. It had been around nearly since the beginning of bitcoin itself. People who trusted using an eWallet at all... trusted it. It had 10s of thousands of account holders. Some of the smartest, most reputable, long-standing bitcoin community leaders used it.

So, before you "trusted" your money to mybitcoin.com, recommended to personal friends that they trust "mybitcoin.com", and recommended mybitcoin.com to people online, you spent +/- $2000 to fly down and meet the people behind it ... right.

I think you need to look up the word trust.

The second day I got into bitcoin I knew it mybitcoin.com was bad news and pulled everything out of mybitcoin.com.

The damage you have done to bitcoin is immeasurable.

WOW man you are a MASTER of the obvious after the fact quattro.

I for one MUST hear more from you on a daily basis. RUN (don't walk) and setup a video podcast immediately. In it you can tell us all the news (like a week later) and tell us how you knew all along how it was going to work out. Oh here is a suggestion you can hold a conference just like bruce in NYC but have it like 2 weeks later and tell us all that he might possibly do wrong in his conference that you "knew was gonna happen" I know i would sign up and be there because i just LOVE YOU MAN.

Your words are just so poetic. Like when you asked if Bruce had flown down to meet the people before he put his money in. Wow I am so proud of you. Man I am sure Bruce never thought of that months after the fact. Since you said in the quote above you "pulled everything out of mybitcoin" I can only assume you took your own perfect advice and took a plane there before you ever put money in. So tell us master of the obvious when you met the people behind mybitcoin what were they like? What made you put bitcoins in mybitcoin in the first place?

Looking forward to your conference and podcast creations quattro ... coming soon I hope ....

I have no desire to explain basic common sense to people who have none.

At this stage, I'm merely stating the obvious because Bruce and others are pretending that the blame doesn't rest 100% with them.

It's like handing your car keys to a car thief ... you can whine all day long about how evil the car thief is, but in the end, you're the idiot that handed them your keys.

If I was making recommendations to non-technical users to give thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars to a complete stranger in a foreign country, and I was pretending to be an expert with my own show, you can bet your ass I'd at least meet the person behind the company before doing so. You don't have to suspect they're a thief, they can be incompetent, or just lazy.

As it stands, I'm an individual making recommendations to no one, knowing full well what my own risks are.
