RE: Why we should feel empathy towards BitFinex team
Of course they did a lousy job but I would not go that far to imply that they dont care too much about secirity. BItcoin is not where it should be yet though, and I hope that we will find a solution like this one soon:

Not an expert so if I get proven wrong, I'l definitely accept it, but I've read a couple places that security issues were known and not action-ed upon. So it was either above their heads or they didn't care.
I also hope things will be resolved, a solution is found and applied and everything goes back to normal. This issue has rippled across multiple coins and it's not good.
