On the one hand Satochi pitched Bitcoin as a cash-like system. What can
   happen with cash under careless handling and storage? OTOH, Bitcoin's
   crypto nature lends itself to novel solutions such as multisig pools
   that can be used to prevent this type of fraud and theft. See Stash
   Pool explanation at Stashcrypto.com.

     This appears major problem for the widespread adoption of bitcoin
     IMHO.
     Fixing it appears to contradict decentralization, which opens
     another
     can of "worms".
     Potential approach is to use "trusted wallet proxy", but this may
     not
     work in practice.
     Are these concerns taken seriously?
     Any technical attempts at mitigating cryptocurrency theft?
