The bitcoin bandwagon brigade has always preached how secure crypto is but it seems like every exchange has gotten hacked. Is securing crypto a pipe dream? Is this what the BTC experiment has taught us?
IMO yeah, pretty much. Even a very secure system is ultimately dependent on the employees, so will always be susceptible to an inside job. One of the selling points of crypto, the non-reversibility, ends up being the flaw for these sorts of situations. Even the NSA can't secure their systems so I don't see this problem going away.
