NO early adopter leaves his wallet.dat file unprotected on a known compromised computer.

Now that's making claims without proof.




My response was to a comment that was deleted...If you go and read the thread he posted to...which is about the supposed theft last week there seem to be a bunch of inconsistencies with the story...the biggest being he supposedly had 3btc stolen but he leaves his wallet unencrypted, unprotected, on a computer that after having supposed 3btc stolen and flagging a virus threat...either he is lying or he is very stupid...either way I do not feel bad.

As for what happened this morning I believe that the market snapped right back was a good sign...someone dumping .5M BTC at once at the lowest possible amount and it still came back in minutes.


Not only is it making claims without proof, the claims make no sense. Why would anyone with a large pile of Bitcoins want to drive the price down by advertising how insecure the currency can be?
