If an item only works well in theory, then the item itself is the problem.

A firearm is absolutely, 100% safe as long as no one ever interacts with it.

Because we are humans, in a society, and everything we do relies on human interactions, if Bitcoin (and crypto in general) cannot operate positively and effectively, except in theory, then it is the problem, regardless of the underlying reason.

the history of money seems to be lost on you. It literally went through the same sorts of things. Fiat works because we learned. My Good that gun comparison was dumb.
