    It doesn’t have to be related to crypto. The point is that we have some technologies that are meant to make things more convenient, but in a lot of cases too much convenience is a bad thing.

    Example: “tap-to-pay” credit or debit cards based on NFC are incredibly easy to be skimmed. You can go with a POS terminal to a really crowded area, and activate a transaction just by walking really close to people.
