RE: Peter Schiff says "owning Bitcoin was a bad idea"

Whilst I'm optimistic about crypto in general... And this particular case is definitely a user error....
It does highlight a problem that needs to be solved. People in general do want a centralised arbiter who can fix problems that may or may not been self inflicted. It is one thing to lose access to your emails... But we are asking the public in general, who often have terrible electronic hygiene and security, to place their money in a concept where personal responsibility is paramount.
I'm very much pro-crypto... Whether or not this specific case was deliberate or accidental, this is a big problem!
PS and let's not kid ourselves, even if you are hyper secure with these things, a determined attacker can and will still get you!
