I was just thinking that since Bitcoins is 100% on the internet, what would happen if the whole world adopts it and 20M bitcoins gets stolen by a genius similar to what happened to Bitfinex?

It is very possible that a genius may hack majority of bitcoin. But that act alon will make all his effort in vain in hacking the majority of bitcoin. Reason is that, bitcoin will automatically fall in price until to the point of being worthles. Support will be taken away because it shows that bitcoin is a failure.

Yes but you know there are hackers that would do it anyway. And not only that, there are probably hackers who would send the coins to a burn address just for the sheer pleasure of destroying something of such value.

Unfortunately big minus in Bitcoin - is security. No one can know what will happen tomorrow with his wallet. Everyone knows that risk
