Sometime in the future, people will stop belittling crypto currencies when they realize that the digitization concepts of traditional finance technology providers are inferior to those of crypto currencies and blockchains. Putting safety and security first for anything that handles money makes sense.

The calls for "you don't need a blockchain, just use a database" will become less and less.

Edit: Of course, Hacker News hates this comment.

This is probably the most pointless comment I have seen on HN for a long time...

Its not like BitCoin and other Coins are free of scams/fraud because they are not regulated...

Most blockchains startups need to create problems which nobody has to sell it to people who don't know better...

What OP has posted is neither a fraud or scam. It points to a safety problem in Klarna's system.
