Crypto is far worse. You need to normalize the amount-looted by the amount of transactions conducted.

Very clearly 'traditional' finance is far safer. There's a reason financial institutions are annoying and stodgy -- they have centuries of hard-lessons-learned. Crypto 'disruption' is mostly throwing away that painful experience.



Bitcoin alone, excluding other cryptos, transacts 1500 billion USD per year. How much is lost to fraud yearly? 2 billions? That's 0.13%. Does fiat lose less than 0.13% to fraud?
