Seems like it, but a Bitcoin insurance would be nice.

I'm ok, because since the last time I used it there, I probably had to change my CC# 4-5 times because of other hacks or other issues detected by BoA.
Re:Verizon will drop phone contracts, end discounted phones

It doesn't sound simpler or cheaper to me. If you include the price of the phone, it can easily end up being more expensive. And they still have a different cost for people bringing their own phone...
