The smart people are the ones choosing an inherently unsafe language not that different from JavaScript on which to build “smart” contract for which the code is law just until the point a bug is found and they hard fork to avoid losing hundred of millions of dollars? I’m honestly not very impressed by what I’ve seen. They may be much smarter than me and I may be a complete idiot, but I never fucked up in a such majestic way honestly.

Oh, and so cryptocurrency programmers are the only people who "fucked up in a majestic way"? Seems to me like there are times past where automobile makers had some spectacular recalls where they had to correct unforeseen situations.
