just seen last nights ep of the daily show he was talking about bitcoin http://recode.net/2014/02/28/bitcoin-and-bankrupt-mt-gox-get-the-jon-stewart-treatment/
I never trusted Bitcoins, never used them, and never had any desire to use them for this very reason. Even with all the supposed "profit" that folks were enjoying by "hyping" their bitcoin prowess, it was only a question of time before their failure since there was no government oversight. If there is one absolute in the world, its that you're going to get taken, lied to, or stolen from when you are not looking.
