Dahboo77 says “It shows how vunerable this bitcoin system can be”. That shows how ignorant about the bitcoin system he is. Both MtGox and Flexcoin crashes were caused by front end flaws (Flexcoin) and incompetence/bad intentions (MtGox). None of them has to do with the blockchain or the so called bitcoin system. They have to do with the fact that people still don’t want to assume responsability for managing their own assests and prefer to deposit them in third party hands. No one who has a personal encrypted password protectes wallet in their own computers has been hit by such problems. The problem IS NOT the bitcoin system. The problem lies on the systems those people rely on to guard their bitcoins.
Thanks for the insight, Paulo. ‘really appreciate it. Mabuhay!
