Good.

The same technology they worship will be their undoing.

Hackers will have a field day picking off their spoils as digital illiterates rush in to buy bitcoins.

This is why when possible either use a hardware wallet or desktop wallet. I prefer not to keep my shyt on the exchanges. Especially sketch shyt like "NiceHash". I only use pretty robust sites like coinbase and a few of the more popular ones.
