For trade perhaps.. but you can have high balances in it. You just have to follow computer security appropriate for your balances. People do billions of dollars of transactions using computer systems they just have better defenses than your average home user.
Think of BitCoins like cash. I keep a few hundred in my wallet, I keep a few thousand hidden the house. If I were keeping a few million I'd have multiple safes, fire protection offsite money....
For small sums of money for member sites it's not a "risk".
