Yeah for you, and a small number of tech heads who get how to secure their coins, it's all good.
Admittedly, securely storing coins is not trivial for non-nerds today, but thats being worked on. Check out trezor and similar hardware wallets. There are quite good reasons why bitcoin hasnt taken over the world yet, the ecosystem just isnt ready for it yet. If you arent able to handle its rough edges (or price volatility), you should just wait. Not everyone can be an early adopter.
Bitcoin may not be broken per se... What is broken is human integrity. And if this tiny community can't prove to the rest of the world what a great thing bitcoin can potentially be without robbing each other blind at evey opportunity, then what's the point?
You mean like gold and cash are broken or pointless because you cant rely on them not being stolen if you dont secure them ? Its not like paypal and credit cards are fraud free either.

Trust me dude, I've been in this awhile so I've heard and argued for everything that your saying over and over since '11. Since then it's been one heist after another.
You can defend it all you want but all I'm saying is when it comes down to it, human greed fucks up the money everytime. And if it's in this format, already hard for the layman to "get it," and all they see is this kinda bs happening within the "ecosystem," then why would they want to trust the bitcoin or it's network at all. Just stay with the old system.
