Sure.

Keep in mind though that crypto is battling the status quo where some arbitrary user could initiate an arbitrary chargeback through the use of a third party. Good luck building a smart contract around that!

With crypto there's no confusion or anxiety-- your coins are provably gone in the example you're citing.

In a way it's like the old error-prone analog computers vs. the new binary-logic-based digital ones. Yeah, rampant theft is bad, but it is discrete theft. And that is the point-- we can measure it in ones and zeros to build upon and compose the digital infrastructure that will become web4.

It's mostly zeros but you get the idea.
