As I've said before, I know of two people that have had well over 50k in bitcoins hacked.

It is just not a very safe system, yet.

I laugh every time I hear one of the exchanges is magic the gathering. I mean seriously, how can any one take a currency seriously who's main exchange is named after a dorky card game.

I dont ever keep BC's laying. If there is something I want to purchase, I just buy the corresponding amount of them.

It's almost like saying your money is 100% safe even though robbers hit like 50% of the armored cars. But yeah, the money itself, totally safe.
