My MetaMask wallet was hacked, and to this day, I’m still trying to wrap my head around how it all happened. I have a nagging suspicion that a sneaky smart contract somehow leaked my private key, turning my digital assets into an easy target. Given that I consider myself quite tech-savvy, this incident was a real wake-up call for how I deal with security and my accounts over the internet.

This experience has led me to question the overall security of the entire crypto landscape, especially when it comes to smart contracts on platforms like Ethereum. It feels like trusting a squirrel with a stash of acorns; you just know something’s bound to go wrong. Until there’s a reliable way to ensure that all these contracts are genuinely safe and sound, I’m going to keep my distance from some types of crypto.

I'm getting a bit paranoid and realized that very few are really "safe" and private - Firo comes to mind for the private part. Not shilling anything, but I think a way to encrypt information on the chain could be interesting, even for something like Hive. Not everything needs to be public.
