Crypto really is "what if possession was 10/10 of the law."
I've made this comment before, but crypto always makes me think of bearer's bonds in fiction, where they always introduce the concept and very carefully emphasize to the characters that if they let go of it, even for a second, it's gone, and it's super important to keep hands on them at all times, and the whole scene is just on the nose foreshadowing that the bearer bonds will absolutely be stolen.
Well, the concept of "this belongs to whoever is holding it" felt like pretty heavy-handed foreshadowing for crypto too, and what do you know?
