i'm not worried about my DIS shares getting hacked as they chill in the digital world compounding interest. It appears that investing in crypto is not quite as safe? One of my bros got hacked in mt gox and since then i've been a bit weary of putting serious sums of money into it (i have maybe 1-5% of my portfolio in crypto and not planning on betting the house anytime soon).

It's certainly not as safe. And one hack doesn't constitute "proof" that the entire space is a total fail at beating traditional finance, which should be obvious. Instead we have people like OP making sensational claims about "shills", providing nothing of value to any conversation about the topic.

It's not one. It's like one per week.

And every smart contract is a self-funded hack bounty.

Smart contracts are a complete misunderstanding of what contracts are, and what the hard parts of the space of contracts are. They're simply changing the simple problem to be enormously complex, without making the hard problems any easier. In fact it makes the hard problems harder too.

causing great public interest and excitement.

> OP making sensational claims

Def 1. "causing great public interest and excitement"

Well, not really. This story is just "huh, another one". Brings to mind the meme "I'm shocked, shocked!, to see another one of the cryptocurrency LARPers topple over"

Def 2. "very good indeed; very impressive or attractive."

Thank you!
