Ok, so you're comparing absolute numbers between things in different categories and with wildly different liquidity levels. And then I don't get how comparing NFTs to "leaving valuable packages completely unsecured outside" is supposed to help your case. And if we believe 1/3rd is accurate, the easiest crime of theft on the planet is only getting us to 1/3rd? Last time I checked, 1/3rd was significantly less than 1/2. Generally, when people say "most", they mean "50%, plus at least one person".

This is why I've muted "NFT" on Twitter. You can't get answers out of proponents without them massively shifting the goal posts.

Weren't you just suggesting more hacking attempts happen against NFTs because they're accessible and now you're saying package deliveries are more exposed to theft and so the comparison is unfair?

I agree these comparisons aren't perfect, but I certainly wasn't trying to move the goalposts - I am trying to understand how you've not done just moved the goalposts yourself, though.
