Trust No One

[skepticsism]

Trust is always a tricky one, even in real life. It reminds me of a time I tried to buy a camera in a shop in NYC. We agreed on a camera model with a lens and price, then the shopkeeper switched lenses on the camera when my back was turned.

Sadly, even the trusted seller, from a shop could abuse of their position in many case.

Wow. Reading all this I've come to the conclusion that I really need to up my paranoia level. A lot.

Thanks for the warning. Always good to be cautious.

[goodluck0319]

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't after you

I thought I was cautious, then I read this the first post.

having no centralized agent controlling bitcoin is a double edged sword, like OP suggests everybody needs to be careful and MORE knowledgeable.
basically no centralized agent is going to protect you in also in the fine prints.

 North vs. south,people vs. banks, and rich vs. poor..............so trust no one.............

Speaking of lack of trust, I really don't trust Tim "Tax Cheat" Geithner or Ben Bernanke!

Speaking of lack of trust, do not trust bitmarket.eu

you can trade there but they will freeze your money and the admin does not answer ta all to my complaints!

waiting for 2 weeks, my bitcoins are still "frozen" for no reason

... and... damn newbie restrictions

Seriously. Don't trust the exchanges, don't trust online wallet services, don't trust your anti-virus software, and don't trust anybody online.

Trust no one: Fox Mulder would agree with you!

[gocoinz]

[nigewri]

Cheers dacoinminister... Great thread for newbies... Forewarned is forearmed

[YipYip]

You say trust no one ......

So with that logic I should not trust your words "Trust No One"

Therefore by simple logic I REALLY should TRUST EVERYONE

You cant trick me and I am on to YOU

[dumbidiot621]

totally agree

Well it is pretty hard to start a new business and accept bitcoins, no one would trust you, to accept credit cards is much easyer, it requires a merchant account which is not very easy to obtain.
