Bitcoins can only be useful for you if other people also use it. Whether or not people use it depends on wether they have trust.
Now, all those who trust Bitcoin less because of this may be ignorant fools and doomed to be ignorant fools forever but maybe you might be able to convince them. That’s all I’m saying. PR problems are rarely entirely rational.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoI don't disagree that there is a PR problem here. I just don't know how or who is supposed to solve it. BitCoin.org doens't have a vested interest in the success of the currency and all they can say is "BTC is safe. Make sure you trust your exchange." Sure they can flower it up and repeat the salient parts so that's what users walk away with in their mind... but I guess my thing is... I don't want people using the currency if they don't understand the implications. There aren't PR disasters if the users understand what they're getting into. (and on that note, everything I've seen so far seems to be pretty accurate about blaming the exchange and not the currency) I guess you could liken it to a bank. If a bank is robbed, we don't doubt the solvency of the US Dollar....
