A trillion here, a trillion there...pretty soon you think you’ve got real money.
Boy, who could see that coming? /s
Crytocurrency - what could go wrong?.....
About 15 years ago I received a check as a contractor for doing some computer programming in the amount of about $5000. The teller at Bank One accidentally failed to hit the decimal point and credited my account for about half-a-million dollars.
I caught this as I was leaving the bank, and the teller was very grateful for me returning and allowing her to correct it. I asked what would have happened if she had not made the correction. She said it would have been flagged later that day.
The thought crossed my mind that perhaps I should have taken out a mid-six-figure loan that day and gone on a long vacation to somewhere where the cost of living is low. :-)

Bitcoin is perfectly safe and secure because blockchain. Or something.
“I don’t know but I’ve been told
It’s hard to run with the weight of gold
Other hand I’ve heard it said
It’s just as hard with the weight of lead”
