This understanding of Bitcoin is not helpful, because to use Bitcoin you need to use a Bitcoin wallet, and therefore you HAVE to choose one to control your bitcoin. The handling of the keys is part of Bitcoin, even though it's not part of the "blockchain", and if it's not working correctly, it is a direct attack to Bitcoin itself.
Yeah I understand the importance of Bitcoin wallet and how closely it ties to Bitcoin
I'm still finding it hard to with the line that a vulnerability exploited in a wallet
Is considered a Bitcoin hack.
Or what you mean as Bitcoin hack is in respect to the entire Bitcoin system.
Which means the Blockchain or it's protocol has never been hacked but a part of the system has.
According to what I can deduce, Bitcoin Blockchain wasn't hacked, instead, it was a side network built on it that got hacked.
So it's better to still stick to the old system of network that has a solid reputation and good security standing than try to delve into side networks which is just like a leech on the main Bitcoin Blockchain system and still without a solid or even near solid reputation as the mainnet.
Am just concerned that programmers have to get really sophisticated when it comes to building new programs like side chain on the existing network because hackers seem to know how to exploit loopholes with their tools, I wonder what happens when quantum computers come into play, what would be the fate of investors with large portfolio in the mainnet.
Developers and programmers really need to learn to use very complex softwares if they come up with new ideas because it does not look like they are ready for what quantum computers can do if it gets into the hands of hackers.
