        Convenience and security is a balance.

        Everything that is convenient is not secure.

        Everything that is secure is not convenient.

        Crypto that is “easy” screams “these people will lose all their money because it isn’t secure.”

      Problem is the first thing I think of anytime I see a new crypto is that it’s probably some sort of scam and completely blow it off.
