> What does that say about the overall reliability of Bitcoins as a new form of currency? As xtracto said, there isn't something inherently insecure about Bitcoin. In fact, AFAIK, there have been no exploits to date of the actual math behind Bitcoin itself. The issue has been breaches of the various institutions dealing in Bitcoins. When a bank is broken into and cash is stolen, you wouldn't say that dollars are insecure ― you'd say that the bank is insecure. This is no different, except it's occurring online.
