I would love to do a Fireside chat with another security researcher, I can bring them in later i'm not sure exactly who is coming yet... ideally someone from SEAL 911 like Taylor but i have 200 ETHSecurity Badge holders in my DMs. This is what we would talk about:
As an industry, we spend so much on Security, yet our users and projects are still experiencing horrible losses on a daily basis. Every project is focused on their own security while security scales so well.
It's like ethereum is an apartment building and every project has an apartment... they focus on securing the apartment but they don't look enough at securing the building... It costs a similar amount to add a camera security system to your apartment... but if 20 apartments do that... it would be 10x cheaper and more effective to just have a security camera system with someone watching it 24/7.
Ethereum has fallen into this trap, and we need to get out of it.
