And the psychological shift is significant as well, the feeling that you have a stake in the system.

My aunt made a similar point regarding social security here in the US, that as a political mechanism it makes people feel like that have a stake in the system, and are thus more invested (literally and figuratively) in the prosperity of the system. As opposed to someone who is outside the system altogether, i.e. completely unenfranchised.

Thats why I'm glad uncollateralized loans are (seemingly) not commonplace in crypto. If they were, exploits like this could have even worse consequences.

In Second Largest DeFi Hack Ever, Blockchain Bridge Loses $320M Ether

seems that the attacker exploited "smart contracts" to mint crypto according to this guy on twitter - my eyes glazed over, somehow I'd rather read about some ballyed up East End villains armed with sawn offs running into a bank and shouting "on the floor you fucking slags or I'll blow your fucking heads off!" Even crime is boring in the age of social media...

Yeah investors refer to this possibility as "smart contract risk" and really its almost an omnipresent risk, and the only real measures you can take against it as a developer is to have your code audited.
