"SafeDollar" -- what an an unintentionally but perfectly Orwellian name!
Nonetheless, I feel bad both for the people who worked hard to create this failed cryptocurrency and for the victims who suffered these sudden losses.
It's hard to write bug-free code. One way to help prevent bugs is to make languages less powerful. In hindsight, it seems that Satoshi Nakamoto's decision not to make Bitcoin's scripting language Turing complete, making all sorts of bugs impossible, will prove to be a smart choice over time. It forces applications of Bitcoin that require control flow to be executed off the main chain.
