Experts are also bigger targets and face more risks than ordinary people.

Like in the non-crypto world, banks are the experts on storing money securely, but people still try and rob banks despite ordinary people being much easier targets.

except this wasn't a targeted attack, it was just a run of the mill shotgun approach to capture wallets.

cryptocurrency is stupid. regulation around banks is there for many very good reasons.

Do we know that? The tweet you linked to basically says, we have no idea what happened so we have no idea if it was targeted or not.

But i do agree generally that i have no idea why "imagine the financial system but with no regulation or oversight" is considered a selling point.
