Honestly if you expect that Joe who keeps his wallet on the desktop right next to some screensaver.exe he has downloaded is as a good steward of his savings as having a regulated bank account with a government backed currency, any conversation between us on the topic I'd consider "reasonable" is pointless.
- shawnz 5y agoThis is no different than arguing "encryption is useless because most people don't use it properly".
- slver 5y agoExcept that's wrong, most people use it properly. Because they can just use trusted applications that implement it. Who do you trust with your wallet? Mt. Gox? Altsbit? Upbit? BinDAX? Bitpoint? GateHub? Bitrue? Binance? DragonEx? Bithumb? CoinBene? Coinbin? Coinmama? Cryptopia? Oh yeah they all got hacked and lost their clients millions.
- shawnz 5y agoHow many 1000s of people have permanently lost sensitive data because they lost their FDE keys? How many companies had user data compromised because they didn't implement encryption best practices properly? Certainly more than a dozen or whatever. It's a useless comparison because encryption has been around for decades more than cryptocurrencies. The point is about the format of the argument. It doesn't make sense to say it's OK to ban a technology just because many people don't use it properly.
