How on earth are normal people supposed to trust bit coin. When best practice is to treat it like paper money.

  Technically, it's more like "treat it like any non-fungible asset". Plenty of "normal people" use combinations of physical security to protect their assets. Safes, deposit boxes, tamper proof materials etc.

    What... paper money and gold bars are non-fungible now?

  If BTC is $1/coin , it is fine to not be paranoid. $16,000+ changes the game completely.

    That's not how it works at all. "Bitcoin" is just a unit of measure, except for the brief moment of mining a new one. Would you be less paranoid if your savings were denominated in pennies vs dollars?

  As others have said, he for whatever reason had a completely lazy setup for someone who develops for Bitcoin Core. He doesn't even use a hardware wallet or use a separate computer for his BTC bag or other sensitive data.
