It's certainly not as safe. And one hack doesn't constitute "proof" that the entire space is a total fail at beating traditional finance, which should be obvious. Instead we have people like OP making sensational claims about "shills", providing nothing of value to any conversation about the topic.

It's not one. It's like one per week.

And every smart contract is a self-funded hack bounty.

Smart contracts are a complete misunderstanding of what contracts are, and what the hard parts of the space of contracts are. They're simply changing the simple problem to be enormously complex, without making the hard problems any easier. In fact it makes the hard problems harder too.

causing great public interest and excitement.

> OP making sensational claims

Def 1. "causing great public interest and excitement"

Well, not really. This story is just "huh, another one". Brings to mind the meme "I'm shocked, shocked!, to see another one of the cryptocurrency LARPers topple over"

Def 2. "very good indeed; very impressive or attractive."

Thank you!
