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!)

Yo @vitalik.eth, you dropped TRUTH bombs! Losing crypto to loss hits harder than hacks—forgotten keys, burnt wallets, epic fails. Social recovery? Hell yeah, we need that fire in the ecosystem! #Ethereum #CryptoLife #Legend
