In a recent interview Gavin Andresen, chief scientist at the Bitcoin Foundation and former lead developer said that Bitcoin 'actually is dangerous' and you shouldn't 'use it unless you’re technically proficient enough to keep your computer secure’. Do you agree with this statement and doesn't this mean people shouldn't be promoting bitcoin until it is safer to use?

Blockchain.info have lost hundreds of bitcoins recently due to bad random events, a bug that has been known about for years but is apparently still causing problems. A significant number of people have also been hacked via remote desktop software or email and have had coins taken from Blockchain wallets. As former Chief of Security at Blockchain and board advisor do you believe it is safe to keep bitcoins there? If I can't rely on web wallets can you clarify once and for all the best way to keep bitcoins secure, but still easily accessible. I only have a few coins so it is not worth buying expensive hardware.
