"Eventually"? Stolen credit cards are much bigger thing, and for much longer than cryptocurrencies.

How many of those stolen cards actually successfully had charges placed and how many had charge backs? It's a false equivalence. Credit card rings have been busted. How many cryptocurrency thieves have been successfully prosecuted? How often are victims returned their money vs credit card theft?
From quick googling: http://www.statisticbrain.com/credit-card-fraud-statistics/ - and these are just Americans.

You really think these numbers are comparable with cryptocurrencies whatsoever?
