Are "hostile" and "adversarial" the right words for the point you're trying to make? Cryptocurrencies are powerful, and they offer no recourse in case of user error. You might say the same of a chainsaw or a nail gun, but nobody would call them "hostile" or "adversarial."


Yeah but when you're using a chainsaw there is no one who is attempting to weight the machine in a certain direction potentially putting you in danger. And there is no one with an incentive to do so.
