I get concerned when I hear statement like "the raison d'etre of bitcoin<br>
is trustlessness" because it implies that Bitcoin promises infinite<br>
security, which has never been the case.<br>
<br>
I don't think we can meaningfully discuss Bitcoin security issues if<br>
every proposal is compared to a straw standard of perfection which is<br>
achievable. When everybody expects infinite security then the perfect<br>
turns into the enemy of the good (and the achievable).<br>
