Crypto gets stolen all the time and once it's gone you have no recourse. It also gets seized. And of course you can also just lose it which is realllly hard to do with land.

Someone steals your wallet with USD, whats the difference?

People act all weird when the word Bitcoin comes up, but its really not that different from gold and USD. Well except it solves a few problems those have.

Cant things be both advantageous and disadvantageous?

You lose a tiny amount of cash and get new cards from your bank. BTC is like carrying around your bank account, it's a whole different ball game.
