it can also be stolen was my point, so you secure it in the bank. bitcoins you just secure in different ways.

hardware wallets are like $100, thats not that much money. Plus you have a backup on paper in case it gets lost, so you can recover.

You use a mobile app

>use a hardware device, costs money and can break losing all your money
