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.
