Reminder: there's also plenty of people who have lost huge amounts of crypto to *loss* rather than theft.

Software bug, forgotten password, lost device, paper wallet burned down in LA fire, upgraded device without backing up data .... lots of ways for that to happen.

Because there's no attacker to go after, victims don't have a strong need to talk about it. And often because they see no one to blame but themselves, victims will be too ashamed to talk about it.

But it happens. Often. And the truly robust wallet security solutions that our ecosystem needs to build should take loss into account too.

(This is a big part of why I talk about social recovery so much!)

I was thinking about this while the news of the fire was still hot on the net. Someone in there probably just had their biggest trade profit in a while only for it to be taken violently. Worse, all their means of recovery were in drives or computers that were also taken by the fire. 

No one ever expects such a loss and there has to be a way to prepare for it.
