Either compromises or shady actors seem to take down a large portion of their services, usually taking large sums of money with them.&lt;p&gt;It does look like a similar case to inputs.io and a few other sites too, people &amp;quot;invest&amp;quot; or store large amounts of money with a person despite the community making every attempt to warn people that it is a terrible, awful, terrible idea to do so.</text></comment>

The bitcoin world needs solid reputable security professionals to operate the exchanges and wallets. I&amp;#x27;d love to hear cperciva&amp;#x27;s or tptacek&amp;#x27;s take on bitcoin as a startup opportunity since they are prime examples of people who could startup a bitcoin business and instantly attract people since people would trust them to do what is right.</text></comment>
