This is childish and disingenuous. Yes, counterparty party risk can only be reduced. And only mathematical constants can actually be absolute. However for practical people operating in the real world there's an infinite difference between 20% risk and 0.005% risk. Infinite. Same with your comment about exchanges - yes the NYSE and NASDAQ can go down. Once or twice a year. For 20 minutes. Coinbase (and Gemini and GDAX and Kraken and everyone) are going down for about x5 times that in any given week. Which is not a "a small qualitative difference". It's an infinite difference.
