You've also not yet shoved a dollar bill down an Ethernet cable. Which is, more or less, what Bitcoin provides.
Given that it's designed as a digital replacement for cash (not savings and checking accounts - cash), keeping more than a few hundred dollars around at a time would seem to be as advisable as storing the equivalent $100 bills, with the same level of extraordinary security measures needed.
