Going to extremely difficult for small-mid companies. Instead we should ask government to be more serious about the threats and strike out if applicable. At the same time, should also find ways to monitor bitcoin movements.

Even more so for a boot-strapped startup - fronting 100s of dollars in insurance is a big ask to get started without taking on investor money.
In this environment would an early stage JIRA, Salesforce or Bootcamp have gotten off the ground without incident?
Probably a place where a viable startup should be able to apply for Gov funding or tax breaks for security investment, much like they provide funding for R&D.
