I'd rather work towards a world where the criminal is incentivized not to exist. Multi sig cold storage plus plenty of productivity gains to go around the risk reward flips and there's far less need for fear.

You take on debts probably every day. Whether they are with your friends, family or future self. They don't necessarily need to be purely monetary but they are energy or time based.
