Not all digital currency has keys. World of Warcraft gold, for example. One would imagine there would be a bank of sorts. Coinbase plays that role, at the moment. They supply cold storage.
It does need to become easier to secure your shit -- given. Most ppl aren't going to be verifying a SHA256 hash function output of their client binaries or use (pseudo)-cypherpunk's public key to verify said hash function is correct against a known good output. Unfortunately!
