The solution for all these and crypto, is education.
- mabbo 4y ago> The solution for all these and crypto, is education. I disagree. Educated people still make mistakes, and still become victims of fraud or viruses. A blanket statement like "we just need to educate people" is a nice way to say "no one would have this problem if they were as smart as I am". But the reality is you're just as vulnerable to a zero day or a well-executed scam. There are many solutions. None are perfect. If you ask me, demanding everyone never make mistakes is a very poor solution compared to using systems that have failsafes.
- detrites 4y agoI agree with your statement in some sense, but still ultimately disagree. There are always going to be people who have bad things happen as a result of being misinformed, as much as there are always going to be failsafes that yet still fail. In both cases, more and better education is a positive force.
