you should not even care where you download the binaries from because even if you download them from the official website it still is not safe until you cryptographically verify its digital signature.
And if you ever wonder why the average person won't adopt bitcoin, see the above quote. Lol.
The
average person is not ready yet to take responsibility for their own money.
It is the
average person who gets involved into credit card fraud because they entered it into a shady site or in an open wifi.
Verifying signature is a mandatory step which takes less than a minute. And with all the guides available and all the messages telling you to verify it, it is quite sad that people still don't do that.
We definitely can have adoption of bitcoin. But first we need some idiot-proof wallets (e.g. hardware wallets embedded into mobile phones with triple checking of everything).
Hardware wallets can already be used by
average persons, if they are capable of reading and double checking the address on the display.
It is just that the riskier wallets (desktop-, mobile- and paper wallets) need more tech savy people who know how to protect digital information and how to verify integrity of data.
