No, because this is explicitly the design of Bitcoin. If you give me a foo machine but it makes a bar, that's your fault. If you give me a foo machine and the foo hurts me, that's my fault.

lol I guess you just settled a hundred years of product liability jurisprudence

Bitcoin isn't a product.

Agreed.

Bitcoin isn't a store of value (its too volatile), it isn't a currency (too slow and expensive for small transactions), and it isn't even a product in its own right.

- You can use it as a store of value. - You can make transactions.

If you don’t like it or think it’s too slow doesn’t change these facts.

I agree that it’s not a product though. It is a distributed system that nobody owns.

Broken by design?
