Stuff you should know on How Bitcoins works,

Um It's really about sticking to the "man." Not dealing with middle men when it comes to transactions. But buying Bitcoins you are still at the mercy of deflation. The 25 Bitcoins that are issued ever ten minutes isn't really available to the average users because of the electrical power needed to run big computers to find them. They will maxed down in 2017.

After listening my impression it was sort of based on a libertarian point of view. I honestly wouldn't find them safe at all. Not that someone could steal, but still that's open for debate, it's the money you could lose.
