Isn’t enhanced blockchain security what makes bitcoin so “special”?

The block chain is immutable, and is secure. They hacked an exchange. You are confusing the bank with the dollars in the bank.

Counter point: Isnt the special paper, printing and other currency controls what make the paper dollar secure?

Does not do you any good when the bank is robbed. Blockchain technology is anti-forgery controls. But if someone steals the USB stick that you have your currency stored on, or if as in this case, they rob the “bank”, It does you little good.

Currency is currency - digital or otherwise
