> And economic interactions are the most impactful ones.

Can you clarify that (I don't have anything for or against cryptocurrencies at the moment, now that the biggest scams exploded I'm neutral). Do you mean economic relationships are more important than other relationships?



If you bother to secure something, that is a high correlation with that which is impactful.

Some communications that fail, or leak, have less impact than others. In one case, we misunderstand each other about what's for dinner tonight. In another case, I lose my house.

Next, they said 'the most', so, I'm willing to bet that if you could tally up all communications and categorize those that are impactful (worth securing for more than just default principle reasons), and all that are economic, the overlap would be larger than not. Just an impression, could be wrong, but I'm pretty comfortable it's not a wildly mistaken one and reasonable to operate on that assumption.
