Hey, I use ATMs. I deposit money in banks. I use
traditional checking accounts. I also use Paypal and other online couriers to
send and receive money. I'm not a person likely to have digital paranoia when
it comes to digital finance, let alone digital currencies, right?
Truth be told. I am.
Hacking
The digital world is filled with hackers and anybody
could be a hacker if they needed to be. People are looking over your money when
you invest, deposit, send money or buy from online shops. Some exploit some
errors to gain access to the system mainframe where they can easily exploit our
credentials, just like
what happened to JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Digital
Errors
Those costly digital errors will make our lives worse
with hackers. A simple error, such as the web page timed out when you just
clicked 'buy' in online shops and used a courier to pay could cost you money
that couldn't be returned because well, that's an error.
Peace
of Mind
I keep my money just next to me. I buy some items that
I think would increase in value over time. I don’t keep them next to me because
you know, inflation. But it gives me peace of mind when I know my money is safe
with me and not in some ATM or system where my money can lose value.
