The majority of shenanigans associated with crypto are actually crypto exchanges. Aside from the Dao, it's pretty much been people giving control of their crypto to other people, not the blockchain that has caused the heartache.

Which means yeah - if you're not at a level of sophistication where you can distinguish between currency and the bank that it's in, you're likely freaked out about Bitfinex being shady AF. Which is admittedly nearly everyone when it comes to crypto.

If you're the type to contemplate the difference, you've probably been a whole lot more aware of security than anyone else you know for quite some time.
