Don’t forget the number of people that use a laptop or desktop that has a “keyloger” on it, maybe even 10 years old. Somebody in China is checking his account 5 times a month for 20 accounts and then cashing in whenever they need money. If you get hacked there is no backup plan. It would be interesting to see whether forgetting passwords or hacking causes more lost Bitcoins. I’ve heard of many millionaires getting hacked and when they check their account, the money is gone.

You raise an interesting point -- he's logged into that bit wallet on an internet-connected platform at least once with the correct password. Then it's in P RISM and countless other int'l surveil. LOFL
