...Scams and hacks can be problems but most of what we have seen with bitcoin have all been third party problems and generally not a fault of bitcoin itself.

How is that different from real money?
Discussing real economy, do we separate ~~fiat~~ money from from its associated institutions (like Banksters who print too much of it out of thin air & eat our children)? We don't, we talk about gestalt, the whole kit & caboodle.

Just like fiat attracts Lizard People, Bitcoin attracts its own motley crew of hax0rs, budding scammers & simpleminded incompetents. Just like fiat lends itself to its associated set of evols, Bitcoin lends itself particularly well to scamming, amateurism & petty theft Undecided
