But you had to know to do that.

Semi-related, it’s wild to me that the best practice for a digital currency is the functional equivalent of keeping your money in your mattress.

I used to be a supporter of bitcoin but then I gave it some long thought and realized bitcoin will never make it as intended. The very essence that makes bitcoin appealing is what keeps it from being user friendly and functioning safely. Once you try to fudge with that, you undermine everything bitcoin is supposed to address. There is just no way around it.
