If you put most of your assets in a "cold storage" wallet, it will be more secure than any cash, gold, or financial instrument that you own.
You put only an amount that you're willing to lose on one of today's machines, for convenience, and it works just fine.
Infrastructure doesn't need to change, and it only takes a small amount of effort to learn how to be security-minded.

- sroerick 12y agoCould you explain what you mean by security primitive?
- tree_of_item 12y agoCurrently security related things are implemented not only as libraries, but as libraries written in memory/type unsafe languages like C. A more principled approach to security might be to bake the relevant security features in to the semantics of our languages. There is work being done on languages with type systems that enforce security guarantees. http://www.pl-enthusiast.net/?p=11 http://www.pl-enthusiast.net/?p=11 and the pl-enthusiast blog in general covers this topic.
