Really? Chances are you’re part of $recent_hack at $large_co which is a feature of the current system and not a feature in crypto.

Why not? You just bought a car and paid by sending $XX to $COMPANY. But why are they still waiting for it to settle? OOPS! They were hacked and you actually ended up sending that to North Korea. You think they're going to still give you the car?
