At the risk of murdering this dead horse there's a reason nobody positions duffle bags of cash as the future of finance no matter where located. Precisely because they can be stolen without recourse. Had that money been safely in a bank account they'd still have it in both these examples.
I mean this guy is already demanding the FBI get involved when the FBI's position is you should just put it in a bank account and not need to call us in the first place.

I think you're conflating "someone who is defending crypto in this particular instance" with "someone who thinks bitcoin will take over the world".

Yeah, I think we're in agreement here that he was acting like an idiot.

We've talked a few times, I always appreciate your perspective :)
Except in this case, it seems like he went out of his way to make it less secure, by putting his wallet on his server. This isn't a case of someone losing his mattress savings in a random home burglary, this is a case of someone leaving a duffle bag of cash in the seat of a car.
