There's all these foot guns that exist in crypto that don't exist in the traditional financial system.

And

Up until now, the story in crypto, which is one that I largely believed, is that, well, this is the fault of lazy humans.

And the humans just need to get with it.

They need to get more security conscious.

They need a better opsec.

They just, this is your fault, not the technology's fault.

And the longer I've sat with this, the more I've started to become convinced that if this is true, if we're still telling ourselves this 10 years later, then maybe the problem is not with the user.

Maybe it's just that this is the wrong user.

It started to really click for me when I kind of saw how capable AI agents were at navigating code compared to how difficult it is to navigate other kinds of poorly formed problems.

Right.

Like there used to be the story.

And I remember the story when I first got into crypto.

Literally the first blog post I ever wrote about crypto talked about this.

The idea that smart contracts were going to replace the law.

They were going to replace traditional contracts.

That's why they're called smart contracts, right?

It's supposed to be this analogy that in the future, you're not going to sign an agreement that's adjudicated by lawyers.

You're going to sign an agreement with somebody in code.

And the reality is that that story never happened.
