Patreon cuts deep inside creators’ pockets

1) Yes, much like if someone finds your credit card number, they can't use it without your name, CVC code, and zip code.

2) It doesn't matter how secure you make it, because if your payment system is impenetrable, I'll just steal your account on some site where you've already enabled payments.

I'm trying to understand what you mean with your point (2). How do you think that a crypto wallet works? Could you walk me through a step-by-step of how it would be possible to steal "my account"? What do you mean by "account", and what do you mean by "enabling payments for a site"?
