People who don't understand the importance of storing their own bitcoins spread across plenty of cold addresses -- generated from fresh, never-connected boxes and enough entropy -- are begging for loss. Given the attitude people have with security and the nature of viruses alone, 99%+ of people aren't 'ready' to use bitcoin beyond small amounts. It's inherently risky for any considerable amount. I never recommend bitcoin to most other people. It's recommended as worthy in and of itself, though.
Bitcoin's digital fungibility, which will always be a curse to some, will always be its greatest virtue. Distrust is one of its most valuable effects. Respect it or don't respect it. That's up to you.
