Bitcoin communtiy: Trust NO ONE to hold onto your BTC....unless they say you can really really trust them.

We should be focusing more on getting people to secure their BTC personally than going down the same road over and over. Even if the operators of an online wallet are 100% honest good-guys haven't we seen that setting yourself up as a singluar target is asking to be hacked and possibly losing everyone's BTC.

Countdown to lulz-a-caust begins now.

By all means if you think you think it's better to store your BTC with yourself then do so. I would love it if everybody know enough to do so safely, but realistically they don't. Some people gain a lot by trusting someone else with their BTC.
