The thing is... I honestly am not smart enough to trust the cryptography! I guess at a high level I could make some sense of it but there is no way I could fully evaluate any crypto as safe or not.
I think there is great irony in the fact that probably 90% of the people involved in crypto don't understand the math behind the systems they trust so much. They could swear these systems are more trustworthy than traditional banks cause decentralization, smart contracts, cryptography, etc. But all of these are just abstract concepts for them in which they just chose to place their trust, because of vibes or smth.
