I generally agree that this is bad in the short term, but likely a net positive in the long run. Bitcoin's delivering some very harsh lessons in crypto-currency

  Speaking from personal experience; I was driven to learn a lot about crypto and information security in general because of bitcoin. As a developer I think the correct mindset towards security is important to have day in and day out; Perhaps that's the real social engineering of the NSA leaks. Nothing could be better for the distributed security of our country than each and every individual developer being more acutely aware of security concerns at every keystroke.
