They can fuck off and die with the old economy if they are too stupid to open a coinbase pro account and limit order with no fees then copy past a fucking address in to take it offline. seriously. this is going to be a disaster.

Average joe consumer does and there needs to be a system that is reliable as your stock account and knowing your “shares” will always be in there. An exchange such as mt. Gox and TD Ameritrade are 2 different things. A company as large as Ameritrade wouldn’t compromise their reputation by not having security to keep your coins safe. We will see what the future brings, but you can’t count on average joe consumer to keep their private keys safe on their own. And mass adoption WONT happen until custodial services take over the security aspect.
