you can't really hack crypto besides maybe a 51% attack

I don't hodl, i use it. Very convenient with crypto cards etc. I've had banks close my accounts before until i explain where money is coming from etc. Banks are cancer. I'm so glad there's an alternative

Not arguing about the merits of blockchain, but if your money is in a bank, it is on a computer that depends on cryptography (TLS) for controlling access.

edit: Well, ok, at least then it's not just crypto standing between your assets and someone else. Then there's going to be at least another layer, like multifactor authentication, VPN/MPLS, etc., depending on the point being attacked.
