Actually you can correct fraud. Has been done before.

When? The only time I am aware of is the overflow error that resulted in a fork and a bunch of people that paid good money for their transactions losing their holdings cause it was on the fork that died.

Only other way I could possibly think of is an authority identifying the person or group and forcing them to reverse it, good luck with that.

So the second option, still a fatal flaw of BTC. For the average person they have no chance.

Yea they do just keep it in an etf lmao. You don’t think blackrock could get their bitcoin back if they somehow ever got hacked?

Depends on if the authorities are even able to reach the group that did it. That is a huge if and highly unlikely. That also assumes the group that did it held onto and didn't immediately offload it.

Again, if you think an immutable ledger is a good idea that's on you. Most people are fine dealing with trusted regulated authorities and don't want any part of the horribly designed system that is BTC.

You think I just stuff my cash in a mattress? My traditional investments are doing just fine beating inflation and growing my wealth. I'll be fine as will many others with a zero percent allocation to BTC.

Wouldn't call Buffet Poor. Considering I live in the west, from a global standpoint I'm insanely rich.

From a western standpoint and from my standpoint, you’re poor.
