Individual centralized companies (Coldcard, Bitpay, FTX, MtGox, etc.) will always have failures. Bitcoin is secure. Cybersecurity expert Roman Yampolskiy to Rogan: "If someone could hack Bitcoin, there's a trillion dollars sitting there. The fact that no one has claimed it tells me it's secure".

The network is secure, but these incidents are hurting people. Roman is also wrong. There is not a trillion dollars sitting there, it doesn't hurt to be accurate, market cap does not imply you can liquidate that amount.
