I’m far, far from an expert, but it seems to me that the unforgiving “software is the law, nothing can be reversed” nature of crypto means that all sorts of vulnerabilities and/or mistakes can instantly lead to you losing all your money. It feels inherent to the system - the core reasons behind these weaknesses are also the core strengths of crypto. You can patch individual vulnerabilities, and try not to make mistakes, but it seems it’ll always be the case that if all your money gets stolen, nothing can really be done.
