Barely makes an impression in the parade of crime that is web3isgoinggreat.com/

The price of BTC initially jumped 3% on the hacked tweet. That's $25bn+ of market cap. The irony is the SEC itself is probably now responsible for the largest crypto pump and dump in history.
Who cares about $25bn? These guys hacked the SEC, made huge announcement tweet, and only got a 3% move from that. More over, they only had a 10 minute window to close whatever positions they had before BTC crashed through it's pre-hack price. There is a fair chance that they actually lost money on this play, lol.

Instead, you can lose access to your money just because you forgot your secret key.
The other, not so much.
Plenty of downsides to crypto no doubt, but I'm not sure "personal responsibility" is one of them.
