This is the kind of stuff that convinces me we'll never see mass adoption of cryptocurrency -- or that if we do, it will be only by replicating the existing financial system and slapping a cryptocurrency label on it.

If security engineers at cryptocurrency firms are getting hacked, what hope do mom & pop user have? And once your money is stolen, you have basically zero recourse and no way to reverse the transaction. I know many proponents consider that a feature, but I'm telling you for the average user, it is absolutely a bug.
