You just have to remember that there are humans behind it all. Before a war happens, we would agree to fork the chain, like most people did with Ethereum's DAO hack [1].

There certainly could be many life changing bugs happening for smaller entities. But that's not a cryptocurrency-specific point. Humans are more and more willing to accept trusting technology with their lives (factory robots, pacemakers, automated cars, risky snapchats).

The key for cryptocurrencies is to keep humans in the loop: keep it incremental and require human confirmation for meaningful transactions. Machine learning can be used to detect anomalies in busy transaction flows.
