Know how Sony is this massive corporation who you would assume would keep your information safe, but actually stored your bank account numbers in plaintext?

The cool thing about crypto is you need a set of numbers to get to it. You could write that shit on a napkin (don't lose the napkin, and don't post photos of it to the internet). The dumb thing about crypto is people go "kthxbye" and put their shit into an exchange because, well, that's what you do with money, you put it in a bank.

Except it isn't a bank it's Magic The Gathering Online Exchange and you should fucking feel bad trusting them with your money, ass.
