Actually in the case of the bank, no. Conventional money is numbers just like crypto. I think the difference is in the case of conventional money, someone is empowered to manually override the transaction and make you whole.
As I've said in the past, money is a technology, and this kind of override mechanism is built into the design of conventional money, but not into the design of crypto.
