Cash has zero protection too
Comment on First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .

It also has zero protection from scams and fraud.

And I don’t give cash to anonymous people online. I only use cash in-person for immediate services or products.

I mean you can use it as currency, and I do sometimes. I have bought plenty of steam games with Bitcoin. I’ve also bought a bunch of stuff on Newegg, and other places online.
It has exactly as much protection from scans and fraud as cash does, that’s essentially what it is.
